Investigation of the Propagation of Uncertainty in the Measurement of the Scattering Matrix of a Duct Element Containing a Porous Material
Main Article Content
Abstract
The need for a theoretical simulation of the experiment is intended to determine which parameters of the experiment are most sensitive to error, and to take these into account when measuring and reducing errors. This paper presents a theoretical simulation of the experimental procedure of measuring the scattering matrix and the acoustic power attenuation of a duct element containing a porous material, in order to identify the parameters affecting the measurements. The Monte Carlo technique is used to evaluate the influence of errors in measurement parameters (the separation distance, the length of porous material, and the incident pressure modulus) on the measured quantities (scattering matrix coefficients and the acoustic power attenuation). This method is considered a reference for examining the propagation of uncertainties in theoretical methods. The results of the uncertainty simulation provided 95% confidence intervals and maximum and minimum errors for each parameter.

Journal author rights
In order for Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration to publish and disseminate research articles, we need publishing rights. This is determined by a publishing agreement between the author and Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration. This agreement deals with the transfer or license of the copyright to Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration and authors retain significant rights to use and share their own published articles. Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research and these rights, in Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration proprietary are defined below:
For subscription articles:
Authors transfer copyright to the publisher as part of a journal publishing agreement, but have the right to: Share their article for personal use (manuscript version); retain patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data); proper attribution and credit for the published work.
For open access articles:
Authors sign an exclusive license agreement, where authors have copyright but license exclusive rights in their article to the publisher. In this case authors have the right to: share their article in the same ways permitted to third parties under the relevant user license; retain patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights (including research data); proper attribution and credit for the published work.
Rights granted to Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration
For both subscription and open access articles, published in proprietary titles, Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration is granted the following rights:
- The exclusive right to publish and distribute an article, and to grant rights to others, including for commercial purposes;
- For open access articles, Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration will apply the relevant third party user licence (Open access licencses) where Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration publishes the article on its online platforms;
