Abstract:
Aircraft noise is one of the most controversial environmental concerns in the aviation industry, partly due to the difficulty in harmonizing countries' regulation regarding this issue. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the ways in which aircraft noise is regulated at the national and international levels, and to compare the legislative responses to aircraft noise issues in Europe and North America. Each of the four main chapters of the thesis takes into consideration a different aspect of the problem. The first chapter describes the objective and subjective ways of measuring airc

Abstract:
Airframe noise is currently of a comparable level to engine noise for an aircraft on approach with high-lift devices and landing gears deployed. The landing gears are a large contributor to the overall airframe noise in this situation. Main landing gears are typically installed beneath a lifting wing. The wing surfaces act as scattering surfaces for the noise generated by these landing gears, and the non-uniform flow around the wing affects both the propagation and strength of the noise. This thesis focuses on investigating the propagation and scattering of installed landing gear noise sources

Abstract:
Appraisal of the noise produced at the combustion stage in a jet engine is becoming more important, as fan and jet noise have been significantly reduced over many years. Therefore, combustion noise is contributing more to overall noise, especially at low jet velocities. Environmental regulations stipulate that gas emissions from a jet engine should be reduced. Thus, new techniques have been introduced in their operation, especially concerning the combustion process. Accordingly, there is a need for improved processing methods in order to extract combustion noise from other sources in new build

Aviation noise pollution in urban areas can be considered as a major problem and source of conflict between airport infrastructure and residents. Its effects could significantly limit the growth of aviation as well as affect public health, mainly when airports are located near residential areas.

Nevertheless, they represent the most viable solutions for contrasting this phenomenon due to the difficulty of finding suitable measures to reduce aircraft noise along its propagation path.

Aircraft noise has a negative environmental impact. One of the ways in which it can be mitigated is by placing acoustic liners inside the aircraft's engines. These liners can be optimised for noise reduction. A cost effective way to optimise acoustic liners is to make use of numerical modelling. However, there is room for improvement of the efficiency of current modelling methods. This thesis is concerned with the efficient numerical prediction of noise emitted from modern aircraft engines.

Abstract:
Acoustic experiments were conducted in an anechoic chamber with a 1/14th scale model of a supersonic aircraft engine inlet using Trailing Edge Blowing (TEB) to reduce the engine fan noise from a turbofan propulsion simulator (TPS). The TPS is 4.1 in. (10.4 cm) in diameter and is powered by compressed air. The supersonic inlet is connected to the TPS and is geometrically and acoustically scaled from a working design. The supersonic inlet is operated in a takeoff or landing operating condition where the inlet core flow is subsonic. TEB is the process of ejecting high pressure air to re-energ

Abstract:
The aim of this research work was to develop an Acoustic Emission (AE) source location method suitable for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of composite aircraft structures. Therefore useful key signal features and sensor configurations were identified and the proposed method was validated using both artificially generated AE as well as actual AE resulting from damage. Acoustic Emission is a phenomenon where waves are generated in stressed materials. These waves travel through the material and can be detected with suitable sensors on the surface of the structure. These stress waves are attri

Abstract:
This diploma thesis captures the three-dimensional implementation of noise-reducing high-liftsystems. A parametric CAD model is developed for the FNG aircraft and different high-lift configurationsare built up. In the course of research, these configurations are designed based onformerly obtained two-dimensional results of DLR’s LEISA project featuring the design of a verylong chord slat (VLCS), whose slat shape resulted in a favourable aeroacoustic behaviour at noiserelevantapproach conditions. The high-lift systems derived in this thesis differ in the spanwisevariation of the slat geometry p

Abstract:
Providing a comfortable environment is the fundamental aim in Architecture. Comfortable environment mainly refers to a surrounding atmosphere which is thermally, acoustically, visually, aesthetically, etc. comfortable. Generally, environmental comfort is assessed by environmental factors such as thermal, acoustic and lighting comfort as well as air quality. There is a significant relationship between various environmental factors and students' academic achievements as well as health. Providing all of the environmental factors together is critical as they are interrelated and could conflict if
