1 Instructions for authors for preparation of papers for Proceedings of INTER-NOISE 2018 Kerrie Standlee a) Daly-Standlee & Associates, Inc 4900 SW Griffith Drive, Suite 205 Beaverton OR George C. Maling Jr. b) Courtney B. Burroughs c) INCE/USA 9100 Purdue Road, Suite 200 Indianapolis IN ABSTRACT Submit your INTER-NOISE 2018 paper as pdf file. The instructions for preparing your paper, given below, are in the font and format that should be used in your paper. The abstract, as shown here, should be in 12-point "Times New Roman" bold type. All of these instructions are similar to those for NCEJ. You may use this paper as a template for your paper by replacing the text with the text of your paper, or simply use it as an illustration for preparing your paper from scratch. 1 INTRODUCTION The INTER-NOISE 2018 Proceedings will be distributed to all registered attendees on a memory stick. The Proceedings will also be available after the conference for purchase. All of the INTER-NOISE 2018 papers will also be included with the past NoiseCon and INTER-NOISE papers on INCE s website: where individual papers may be searched and downloaded. INCE/USA members or NCEJ subscribers may then download papers. Others may purchase papers online. The purpose of these instructions is to ensure uniformity in the layout and typography of the papers. The headings and subheadings used in these instructions are in the format that should be used in the preparation of the paper. The type font used here and for the paper is Times New Roman 12 point font. Other similar fonts may be used if Times New Roman is not available. a) kstandlee@acoustechgroup.com b) inceusa@aol.com c) ncej@inceusa.org

2 Paragraphs should be indented by 0.3. Papers, including the figures, tables and illustrations, may have any number of pages between 4 and 12. Apart from the suggested limit on the number of pages of 12, the maximum file size should not exceed 50 Mbytes. The exclusive use of SI units is strongly recommended. If the English conventional system of units is used, the English equivalents must be inserted in parentheses following the metric values. Only manuscripts in the English language will be accepted. 2 MANUSCRIPT FORMAT 2.1 Margin Settings The paper size should be letter (215.9 by mm, 8 1/2 x 11 inches) or A4 size (210 x 297 mm). Top and side margins should be set at 25 mm. The bottom margin should be 20 mm. Do not use headers, footers or page numbers in the paper. If it is necessary to use the A4 metric paper size, set the top margin to 25 mm, the side margins to 22 mm, and the bottom margin to 37 mm. Tab stops should be set at 6 mm (0.25 inches). 2.2 Top of the First Page At the top of the first page, this logo should appear centered on the page. 2.3 Title of the Paper The paper title should in Times New Roman (or similar) 16-point bold. Capitalize the first word of the title. For example, the following title is appropriate. Low frequency determination of partial enclosure insertion loss using a plane wave simplification The title should be center justified as shown above. 2.4 Author Information Author information should be left justified below the title. Use 12 point "Times New Roman" (or similar) regular type. Put the author's name (first name followed by middle initial and last name), affiliation and address (city, state, zip code (USA) and country). Do not include personal titles (e.g. Dr., Prof. and INCE Board Cert) with author names. For multiple authors, group authors with the same affiliation/address, e.g.

3 name 1 a) name 2 b) affiliation 1 name 3 c) affiliation 2 Include authors' addresses with footnotes using letters (see the example on the first page of these instructions). 2.5 Paragraph Indentation Indent paragraphs by 0.3 inches. 2.6 Headings Major headings should be left justified in 12-point "Times New Roman" (or similar) bold type, in all capital letters and labeled numerically, e.g. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 MODEL DEVELOPMENT Leave a line space above and below a major heading. Subheadings should be in 12-point Times Roman (or similar) bold type, with the first letter of each major word in upper case, and labeled numerically, e.g. 2.1 Application of Fuzzy Relational Methods 2.2 Value Analysis Leave a line space above and below subheadings. For heading and subheading, the tab after the number should be 0.3 inches. There should be no period after the last number. 2.7 References The list of references should be labeled numerically. Use superscripts in the text to indicate references, e.g., noise sources can be identified 5-8 and action can be taken as reported by Cooper 3. Examples of reference listings are given below. 2.8 Figures, Tables and Equations Include your figures and tables embedded in the text of the paper as close as possible after the citation in the text. Do not link figures or references in the text. Examples of a table and a figure, along with their caption formats are given at the end of these instructions. Table captions should be left justified above tables, and figure captions should be left justified below figures. The table and figure titles should be in 12 point Times New Roman type. The figure or table caption should

4 be italicized. Fonts may be smaller for tables and figures but make sure they remain readable. Include as many tables and figures as appropriate per page. Examples of a table and figure are given below. Table 1 - Directly measured and predicted sound pressure levels summed at harmonics. Sound Pressure Level (dba ~ summed at harmonics) Baseline (Untreated) Barrier Treatment Lagging Treatment Machine 1/3 1/3 1/3 Full Machine Full Machine Full Target Target Table captions should appear above the table and figure captions below the figure. An example of a figure is shown below. Fig. 4 Photograph showing the operator compartment indicating rear machinery enclosure and Target 1. Fig. 5 Difference between full scale and 1/3 scale in narrowband and moving averaged data.

5 The following approach is recommended for creating equations. First create a table with 1 row and 3 columns. Then, a) leave the first column blank, b) center justify the equation in the middle column, c) right justify the figure number in the 3 rd column, and d) hide all the table borders. An example of an equation is shown below. (1) In the text, equations should be referenced as Eqn. (*) or Equation (*) if at the beginning of a sentence. 3 SUBMISSION Submit your paper as a PDF file using the link on the INTER-NOISE 2018 Web site ( and follow the link for paper submission. Remember, before submitting a paper you will be required to pay at least one registration. Additionally, if you are submitting more than one paper, there is an additional nominal charge for each additional paper submitted. 4 CONCLUSIONS Please follow these paper preparation instructions carefully and make sure that your paper is between four and twelve pages in length. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We acknowledge gratefully the authors for submitting their work to INTER-NOISE REFERENCES 1.
