• Intensity of the sound is
EXPRESS TRAIN measured in decibels
(dB).
80 PNEUMATIC DRILL
dB • Audible sound has an
60 TRAFFIC intensity of 10 decibels.
• Intensity of the sound
40 RESIDENTIAL AREA produced by jet engine is
around 115 dB.

 SOURCES OF NOISE

• TAKE OFF NOISE.

• ENGINE NOISE.

• Gas from the engine turbine enters the exhaust

system at velocities of 298m/s to 366m/s.
• It’s usual to maintain the velocity around 290m/s

 METHODS OF NOISE REDUCTION

• MULTIPLE JET TUBE

• CORRUGATED TYPE NOZZLE
• VARIABLE GEOMETRY CHEVRONS
• SMART MATERIALS ARE USED TO FABRICATE
VARIABLE GEOMETRY CHEVRONS (VGC).

• SMART MATERIALS ARE HIGHLY RESPONSIVE TO

EXTERNAL STIMULI SUCH AS TEMPERATURE,
STRESS, STRAIN ETC..

• A TYPE OF SMART MATERIALS CALLED SHAPE

MEMORY ALLOYS (SMA).

• NICKLE-TITANIUM ALLOY (Ni-Tinol) IS A

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE SMA.
VARIABLE GEOMETRY CHEVRONS
 ADVANTAGES

• VGCs REDUCE NOISE LEVEL FROM 115dB TO 95dB.

• THEY REDUCE USE OF ACOUSTIC MATRIAL.

• THEY ARE AUTONOMOUS IN OPERATION.

• THEY ARE WELL SUITED FOR MULTI FLIGHT

CONDTIONS.
