After the Industrialization of 1960s, while it has greatly contributed to the industrial development owing to acceleration of mechanization, but it is real situation that the countermeasure to noise damage generating at the loud noise workshop is scarcely made. Especially, the machine noise made at factory and workplace is so shocking and repeatedly reiterating terrible noise that most of the spot workers are forcedly imposing such dangers as the severe unpleasant feeling and hearing impairments. On such point of view, this research has attempted to extract the proper rating vocabulary in order for evaluation on machine noise made at the high noisy workshop, therefore it is considering that those extracted vocabularies could be utilized as the useful psycho-acoustic experiment for evaluation on machine noise, also for establishment of regulation standard in domestic high noisy workshop.

산업이 고도화 되면서 기계장비의 중량화와 고속화가 가속되어지고 있으며, 이로 인하여 과다한 진동과 소음을 유발시키고 있다. 특히 교통량이 많은 도로변의 건물 및 주택가에 소음공해가 심하며, 고속도로 및 철도연변의 건물 및 주택가는 비록 차음벽을 설치하여 많은 소음을 차단해 주지만 미흡한 상태다. 또한 철도 진동이 주위 건물 기초로 전파하여 건물의 진동을 유발하여 건물벽체가 갈라짐의 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서, 교통 소음이 심한 장소에서는 차음율이 높은 재료를 사용하여 공기음을 차단하며, 건물의 유리창은 가능한 한 2겹유리(pair glass)를 사용한다. 또한 철도 연변의 건물기초는 베어링 페드를 사용하여 지반으로 전파되는 진동을 차단하여 줌으로써 안락한 주거환경 및 근무환경을 조성하리라 생각한다.

Leaks in underground pipelines can cause social, environmental and economical problems. One of relevant countermeasures against leaks is to find and repair of leak points of the pipes. Leak noise is a good source to identify the location of leak points of the pipelines. Although there have been several methods to detect the leak location with leak noise, such as listening rods, hydrophones or ground microphones, they have not been so efficient tools. In this paper, acoustic emission (AE) sensors and accelermeters are used to detect leak locations which could provide all easier and move efficient method. Filtering, signal processing and algorithm of raw input data from sensors for the detection of leak location are described. A 120m-long pipeline system for experiment is installed and the results with the system show that the algorithm with the AE sensors and accelerometers offers accurate pinpointing of leaks. Theoretical analysis of sound wave propagation speed of water in underground pipes, which is critically important in leak locating, is also described.

관성 센서는 외부 장치의 도움 없이 3차원 공간상에서 움직임 측정이 가능하다. 최근 MEMS 기술의 발달로 소형 저가 관성 센서(가속도 센서 혹은 각속도 센서) 제작이 가능해져 관성 센서를 소형 휴대 기기에 내장하여 사용자의 움직임을 감지하거나 의도 파악하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 관성 센서가 내장된 휴대 기기를 이용하여 3차원 공간상에서 6가지 위치에 따라서 각기 다른 6가지 소리를 발생하는 가상의 멀티 타악기 시스템을 제안한다. 즉, 휴대 기기를 상/하로 흔들면 가상 타악기의 타점 위치에 왔을 때 비트 음을 발생하고, 6개의 다른 위치를 구분하여 다른 타점의 위치에서 휴대 기기를 흔들면 각각 그 위치와 미리 지정된 소리가 발생하도록 하였다. 이러한 가상의 멀티 타악기 시스템을 위해서 3차원 공간상에서 실시간으로 사용자의 움직임을 감지하고 휴대 기기의 위치를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 저가의 관성 센서를 이용하여 사용자가 휴대 기기를 움직이는 동작이 있는 상황에서 실시간으로 휴대 기기의 위치를 추정하는 것은 쉽지 않지만 본 연구에서는 다양한 사용자의 움직임 동작 분석을 통하여 사용자가 가상의 멀티 타악기를 상/하로 흔드는 동작을 감지하고 다른 위치로 이동하는 동작을 구분하였다. 개발된 동작 감지 알고리즘과 위치 구분 알고리즘을 휴대 기기에 적용되어 실제로 가상의 타악기 시스템을 구현하였다.

The applicability and feasibility of TomoTherapy in the lung radiation surgery was analyzed by comparison of the calculated dose distribution in TomoTherapy planning with the results of conventional IMRS (intensity modulated radiation surgery) using LINAC (linear accelerator). The acquired CT (computed tomograph) images of total 10 patients whose tumors' motion were less than 5 mm were used in the radiation surgery planning and the same prescribed dose and the same dose constraints were used between TomoTherapy and LINAC. The results of TomoTherapy planning fulfilled the dose requirement in GTV (gross tumor volume) and OAR (organ at risk) in the same with the conventional IMRS using LINAC. TomoTherapy was superior in the view point of low dose in the normal lung tissue and conventional LINAC was superior in the dose homogeneity in GTV. The calculated time for treatment beam delivery was long more than two times in TomoTherapy compared with the conventional LINAC. Based on the results in this study, TomoTherapy can be evaluated as an effective way of lung radiation surgery for the patients whose tumor motion is little when the optimal planning is produced considering patient's condition and suitability of dose distribution.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the photon characteristics according to the material and thickness of the electrons incidented through a linear accelerator. The computer simulation design is a linear accelerator target consisting of a 2 mm thick tungsten single material and a 1.8 mm and 2.3 mm thick tungsten and copper composite material. In the research method, First, the behavior of primary particles in the target was evaluated by electron fluence and electron energy deposition. Second, photons occurring within the target were evaluated by photon fluence. Finally, the photon angle-energy distribution at a distance of 1 m from the target was evaluated by photon fluence. As a result, first, electrons, which are primary particles, were not released out of the target for electron fluence and energy deposition in the target of a single material and a composite material. Then, electrons were linearly attenuated negatively according to the target thickness. Second, it was found that the composite material target had a higher photon generation than the single material target. This confirmed that the material composition and thickness influences photon production. Finally, photon fluence according to the angular distribution required for shielding analysis was calculated. These results confirmed that the photon generation rate differed depending on the material and thickness of the linear accelerator target. Therefore, this study is necessary for designing and operating a linear accelerator use facility for container security screening that is being introduced in the country. In addition, it is thought that it can be used as basic data for radiation protection.

The automotive industry is making various efforts to cope with ever-increasing exhaust emissions and fuel economy regulations. However, this often results in degraded NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. For example, we proposed the causes and improvements for the noise generated by the high-pressure pump noise of a gasoline engine, the change of acceleration noise due to dual injection of MPI (Multi-Point Injection) and GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection), the noise of a gasoline turbocharger, and the combustion noise deteriorated due to the injection parameters calibration in a diesel engine. Since these noises are caused by the high frequency noise, and the driver feels the rough sound quality, efforts to reduce them with proper NVH measures are indispensable.

In this work, the mechanism of contraction and expansion noise generation is investigated, and effective methods are proposed to reduce the occurrence frequency of noise during operation of the refrigerator. First, the frequency spectrum analysis was made by using the sound pressure signal measured in an anechoic chamber to investigate the characteristic of noise and the frequency of occurrence. Second, a thermal deformation analysis was conducted to predict the location of noise source. It is found from the analysis that the biggest thermal deformation occurs in the middle of the left inner case in the freezer room. Following the investigation made, a noise reduction method is proposed. The method is proposed to reduce the contraction and expansion noise by reducing the thermal deformation through increasing ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) thickness in the center of refrigerator.

In this paper, it introduced the device that was fabricated for monitoring sleeping positions of infants with 3-axis accelerometer. Sleep monitoring studies has been usually conducted two ways. To monitor sleeping posture by installing a camera and then recording of sleep in the sleeping room continuously is the first one. The other one is monitoring pressure sensor's results data for sleeping. Those two ways' benefits are that are able to get relatively accurate sleeping posture data but, there are many disadvantages like constraints of spaces and places, the installation of sensors or cameras, and high cost. In addition, it has a lot of problems that difficult to solve. For babies, it's not easy to apply, as well as uncomfortable. The proposed method uses a 3-axis accelerometer's X axis, Y axis, Z axis position output values in order to recognize the bad ground sleeping position that use of the buzzer alarm. This method uses a 3-axis acceleration sensor to measure the data and transmit sleeping posture using Bluetooth wireless in real time monitoring. The data is helpful for prevention safety hazard such as choked themselves when they slept back side on.

The purpose of this study was to provide useful data for clinical occupational therapy by examining the correlation between the use of affected and unaffected sides measured using an accelerometer and upper limb function in chronic stroke patients. In this study, accelerometer, Fugle-Meyer Assessment(FMA), Motor Activity Log(MAL), and Yonsei-Bilateral Activity Test(Y-BAT) was measured on 40 stroke patients who were hospitalized in Won-ju city Y hospital between May 2, 2019 and July 18, 2020. As a result of the study, there was a significant negative correlation between amount of use on the unaffected side and FMA and MAL's Amount of Use(AOU), Quality of Movement(QOM), the quality and satisfaction of performing both hands through Y-BAT. The amount of use on the affected side showed a significant positive correlation with FMA and MAL's AOU, QOM, satisfaction of performing both hands. This study is meaningful in that it suggested the possibility that the actual amount of use on the affected and unaffected side measured using an accelerometer could be used as an evaluation item for upper limb function in stroke patients.
