Te aortio of te groud i caracterized y a fiite comlex imedace. Te BEM formulatio icororate a tailored ree fuctio tat atifie te imedace oudary coditio o te groud, terefore te groud i automatically take ito accout ad oly te oie arrier mut e dicretized. Te tailored ree fuctio ca e decried a a ueroitio of ource wit comlex oitio exreed a a lie itegral over te imagiary axi. uc formulatio i very uitale for a BEM imlemetatio ice te lie itegral exit for all kid of imedace ad coverge fater ta oter formula. I te reet aer, te ifluece of te tye ad magitude of te groud imedace o te ieldig roertie of te arrier i tudied i detail. Te oie arrier itelf i coidered rigid.

Te oie roduced y car a maily tree ource: te motor, te road-tyre iteractio ad te erturatio i te airflow. Oe way to reduce te oie i to act directly o te oud ource. egardig te road-tyre oie, everal tye of avemet ave ee develoed to cage te imact force etwee road ad tyre urface. uc material ca rig a reductio i te oie level tat varie from 3 db(a) u to 8 db(a). Ufortuately, due to te cot, tee tye of avemet are oly eig italled ofte we te roadeedtoereairedoryte cotructioofewroad. A differet aroac to reduce te oie affectig te eole i to uild olid otacle to lock te oud wave, i.e. oie arrier. Due to diffractio, te oud wave caot e comletely locked ut te overall oie level ca e reduced. Te amout of level reductio deed o te dimeio of te arrier. For a very log arrier, it eigt will e te determiat dimeio. If a aorig groud i reet, te diffracted wave eid te arrier will uffer a additioal atteuatio ad te effective IL of te arrier may icreae. I te reet work, te IL of a oie arrier coiderig a imedace groud will e calculated.. NUMEICAL MODEL For ti tudy we coider ti rigid arrier tadig o a aorig groud. I order to imlify te umerical model, te arrier will e aumed ifiitely ti, i.e. to avezeroticke.oterwie, te ize of te elemet ould e very mall i order to avoid arrow ga rolem. Te dimeio of te arrier are fixed, wit legt L=4m ad eigt H= m.

Ofte, te acoutic iertio lo of te arrier i evaluated at te 500 Hz ave ad ad it i take a a rereetative value. I te reet tudy, te imulatio are erformed at te 500 Hz ave ad. Te field oit are laced eredicular to te arrier at a ditace from te arrier varyig from 0. m to 15. m. I order to determie te averaged IL value, te calculatio are made at 11 frequecie witi te ave ad.

Tree tye of imedace are coidered: a) aorig imedace, wic a a ure real value; ) ma-like imedace, wic a a ure imagiary ad oitive value ad c) rig-like imedace, wic a alo a ure imagiary ut egative value. For eac tye of imedace, eigt value of Z0 are aumed: 0.1, 0.5, 0.5, 1,.5, 5, 10 ad 5. Te itegral i (9) ad it firt ad ecod derivative are evaluated umerically uig a gloal adative quadrature imlemeted i te fuctio itegral from Matla. Due to te ocillatig term j( k γη ) e, te time of calculatio deed o te value of γ ad o te field oitio. From te tree tye of imedace, te rig-like tye a te iget calculatio time. Ti calculatio time i ow i Fig. 4 for te cetral frequecy f=500 Hz. Figure 4 Calculatio time for differet value of Z0 of te rig-like imedace.4 eult Te curve of te averaged IL for te differet value of imedace are lotted togeter wit te two limitig cae, amely, oft groud ( Z 0 ) ad rigid groud ( Z ).

Figure 5 IL of a arrier o aorig groud It ca e oerved, tat a oft groud roduce a iger IL ta a rigid groud i two zoe 0<x<3.1 ad 6.7<x<8. wile te rigid groud roduce a iger IL at 3.1<x<6.7 ad x>8.. Far from te arrier, te oft groud a a mall effect or eve a egative oe. For te aorig or ma-like tye imedace te traitio etwee te oft groud ad te rigid groud i relatively moot. Te limitig cae cotitute te lower limit of te IL ractically at all field oit. Figure 6 IL of a arrier o a ma-like groud 4361
Figure 7 IL of a arrier o a rig-like groud Oe ca fid toug ome value of te imedace ta rovide a iger IL ta te limitig cae, for examle: Z. 0 5 for x>9 ad Z 5 0 j for x>10. Te imrovemet i igger for te aorig cae ta for te ma-like cae. For te rig-like tye imedace, te traitio etwee te oft groud ad te rigid groud i alo moot ut te deviatio from te value of te limitig cae ca e very large, for examle y Z0. 5 j. Te limitig cae cotitute te uer limit of te IL at all field oit wile te value rovided y te rig-like tye groud ca e muc lower ta te limitig cae at everal field oit. 3. CONCLUION Te reet tudy a ow tat te reece of a groud wit a fiite imedace ca affect te IL of oie arrier. It a ee demotrated tat a imrovemet of everal db i te IL of a rigid arrier ca e otaied. Accordig to te reult, te major imrovemet i otaied y a aorig imedace followed y te ma-like imedace. Te rig-like imedace o te cotrary caot rovide ad advatage comared to te rigid ad oft cae.
