수중 트랜스듀서는 진동하는 물체위에 설치되어 다양한 외부 소음원이 유입되는 환경에 노출되어 있다. 외부 소음원으로는 선체 진동. 프로펠러 소음, 그리고 유동 유기 소음들을 들 수 있고, 트랜스듀서의 실제 작동시 이들의 레벨이 상당히 높아서 센서의 정확한 작동에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 외부 소음원에 무관한 고 정밀, 저 소음 특성을 지닌 음향센서를 개발하기 위하여 유한요소법 (FEN)을 사용하여 소음 전달 특성을 분석하고, air pocket과 음향 감쇠층의 다양한 조합으로 이루어진 구조를 개선한 음향센서의 설계 및 내소음성 평가를 하였다. 또한 사용한 음향 감쇠층의 최적 물성을 제시하고자 한다. 그 결과 센서 측면 하단부에 소음원이 위치할 경우 가장 큰 잡음 신호로 작용하며, 구조를 변경한 결과 기존 음향센서에 비해 55% 이상 내 소음성을 증진 시켰다. 그리고 음향 감쇠층의 최적 음향 임피던슨는 1 Mrayl 이하 혹은 4mrayl 이상으로 분석되었다.

This paper investigates the influence of material properties of the acoustic damping layer in the low noise hydrophone designed in the previous paper. For increase of the insensitivity of the hydrophone to external noises, acoustic impedance and damping coefficients are selected and the effects of the selected material property on the hydrophone response to the external noises are simulated with finite element method (FEM). The results show that the damping coefficients are not influential to the structural vibration decoupling from the sensing element. On the other hand, the optimum acoustic impedance of compliant layer is estimated which is smaller than 1 Mrayl or larger than 4 Mrayl. However polymer materials, which are in general use for acoustic window and damping layers, is not appropriate for the compliant materials of this hydrophone. Therefore development of new composite materials, i.e. ceramic-polymer composite or metal-ceramic composites etc., is required for the development of effective self noise suppressing underwater hydrophones.

This paper presents an experimental study on vibration characteristics of an automotive roof with viscoelastic material. The goal of the study is to extract modal parameters (natural frequency, loss factor, and mode shape) of automotive roof with unconstrained and constrained layer damping treatment. To determine the effective position of the viscoelastic patch on a roof, vibration tests have been carried out for two cases; Aluminum plate with viscoelastic patch on maximum strain energy, and aluminum plate with viscoelastic patch on nodal line. From the result of aluminum plate, it is found that the viscoelastic patch should be attached on the Place with maximum strain energy Part. For the automotive root five Patches of unconstrained or constrained viscoelastic material have been attached on the position of maximum strain energy. This paper addresses that the proper position of viscoelastic patch is very important and the concept of maximum strain energy may be a good criterion f3r the placement of viscoelastic patch.

The Active Constrained Layer Damping(ACLO) combines the simplicity and reliability of passive damping with the low weight and high efficiency of active control to attain high damping characteristics. The proposed ACLD treatment consists of a viscoelastic damping which is sandwiched between an active piezoelectric layer and a host structure. In this manner, the smart ACLD consists of a Passive Constrained Layer Damping(PCLD) which is augmented with an active control in response to the structural vibrations. The Arc type shell model is introduced to describe the interactions between the vibrating host structure, piezoelectric actuator and visco damping, The system is modeled by applying ARMAX model and changing a state-space form through the system identification method. An optimum control law for piezo actuator is obtain by LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) Method. The performance of ACLD system is determined and compared with PCLD in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ACLD treatment, Also, the actuation capability of a piezo actuator is examined experimentally by using various thickness of Viscoelastic Materials(VEM).

Apartment building floor with a damping layer can be modeled as a sandwich plate. In order to reduce low frequency noise more efficiently due to heavy impact on such a floor, thickness of the damping layer needs to be optimized at the design stage. Modal loss factors are determined in this paper by RKU equation which is popular In sandwich plate theories. Optimum damping layer thickness determined at each mode is weighted so that several modes in the frequency range of interest can be included in a more systematic way. Furthermore, to reflect frequency-dependent characteristics of complex stiffness of the damping layer, an iteration method is proposed in finding modal frequencies.

For the control of vibration and noise of metal structures having relatively low damping, viscoelastic materials are widely used and usually attached at metal structures with an additional constraining layer to secure them. The damping and elastic properties of structures having constrained viscoelastic material layers are dependent on not only temperature and frequency but also their thicknesses. Hence, optimal design of the thicknesses of viscoelastic and constraining layers for a certain base structure are very important to maximize their efficiency and to lighten their weight. In this study, the variation of loss factor of beams having a constrained viscoelastic layer according to the change of thickness has been carefully investigated. From these, optimal design method of the minimum thickness beam having a given loss factor is suggested and numerically verified for a real beam.

국내 항만의 건설 및 확장 보수를 위한 설계 단계에서의 평면배치 검토시 항내측으로 내습하는 파랑변형특성에 대한 정밀한 평가는 필수적이다. 이에 따라 많은 수학적 모델들이 연안역과 항만에서의 파랑전파와 변형에 대해 개발되어 왔다. 특히 항내정온도의 해석은 항만 사용성 측면에서 매우 중요하며 실제 해상의 파랑상태와 유사한 불규칙파로의 해석이 요구되어 지고 있다. 항내정온도 해석에 있어서 항내파랑장 형성에 크게 영향을 미치는 구조물의 반사율을 효과적으로 적용하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 구조물의 반사율은 이론계산이 어렵고, 일반적으로는 모형실험 혹은 현지관측에 의해 추정된다. 따라서, 일반적인 경우 비용 및 시간상의 제약으로 인해 평면 파랑모형으로 정온도 해석시 반사율의 적용은 구조형식별로 연구자들에 의해 개략 제시된 반사율을 적용하고 있다. 특히, 다방향 불규칙파의 적용시에 경계조건으로는 다방향 불규칙파를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 부분반사 경계면과 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 파랑에 대해서 인공적인 흡수층 또는 감쇠층(artificial damping layer)을 설정하여 반사를 제어하는 기법을 많이 적용하고 있다. 이때 항만구조물의 부분반사는 파랑제원에 따른 damping layer의 parameter의 조정에 의해 구조물의 구조형식별 반사율을 적절히 재현할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 불규칙파를 대상으로 damping layer의 parameter(무차원 감쇠계수, 감쇠층의 두께)등의 변화에 따른 반사율의 변화특성을 고찰하고, 향후 부분반사 경계면으로 damping layer가 적용되는 평면 파랑모형의 정온도 해석시 부분반사의 적용에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

The optimal thickness distribution of an active damping layer is sought so that it satisfies a certain constraint on the dynamic performance of a system minimizing control efforts. To obtain a topologically optimized configuration, which includes size and shape optimization, thickness of the active damping layer is interpolated using linear functions. With the control energy as the objective function to be minimized, the state error energy is introduced as the dynamic performance criterion for the system and used lot a constraint. The optimal control gains are evaluated from LQR simultaneously as the optimization of the layer position proceeds. From numerical simulation, the topologically optimized distribution of the active damping layer shows the same dynamic performance and cost as the Idly covered counterpart, which is optimized only in terms of control gains, with less amount of the layer.

The flexural vibration of laminated composite beams with passive constrained layer damping has been investigated to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity. The equations of motion are derived for flexural vibrations of symmetrical, multi-layer laminated beams. The damping ratio and modal damping of the first bending mode are calculated by means of Iterative complex eigensolution method. This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations.
