수중무기체계에 있어 소나 탐지 성능은 생존성 향상을 위한 중요한 인자이다. 소나의 음향수신 성능을 파악하기 위해서 탄성이론을 이용하여 소나 다층구조의 음향 성능을 해석하였다. 단순구조물에 대하여 탄성이론을 적용하여 얻은 본 해석 결과를 상용해석프로그램인 ANSYS와 비교하였고, 만족할만한 결과를 얻었다. 검증된 탄성이론을 이용하여 소나 다층구조의 층별 두께 변화에 따른 음압 및 반향음 감소 해석을 수행하였다. 무반향(anechoic)층의 두께가 증가할수록 주파수에 따른 음압이 고르게 분포하고 반향음 감소량이 약간 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 비결합(decoupling)층과 스틸(steel)층의 경우 두께에 따른 음압의 변화는 거의 없으나 두꺼워질수록 반향음이 약간 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 탄소강화플라스틱(Carbon Reinforced Platic, CRP)층의 두께 변화는 음압과 반향음 감소량에 영향이 없는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 소나 다층구조의 음향성능을 높이기 위해서는 무반향층을 두껍게 하고, 비결합층, 스틸층과 탄소강화플라스틱층은 최소화하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 예상된다.

The requirement of acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. The material is used to reduce acoustic signature and radiate noise for underwater vehicle. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as a rubber and a polyurethane etc. The mechanical and acoustic characteristics of these material change with hydrostatic pressure. In order to increase an acoustic performance according to hydrostatic pressure, several kinds of scatterers were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques of underwater acoustic material with hydrostatic pressure were introduced and proposed. The specimens for pulse tube test were made and echo reductions were calculated and measured with hydrostatic pressure. Also the characteristics of echo reduction of the specimens with hydrostatic pressure were obtained and discussed.

The requirement of acoustic performance about underwater acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as a rubber and a polyurethane etc. In order to increase an acoustic performance, several kinds of inclusions were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques were introduced and the acoustic characteristics of underwater acoustic material were studied. Echo reduction and transmission loss were calculated with volume fraction of inclusion in the material. Also the characteristic impedance and the input impedance of underwater acoustic material were obtained and effects on the echo reduction and transmission loss of material were discussed.

Acoustic signal is emitted from a vessel and received by a cylindrical array sensor at some distance from the vessel. Acoustic signal is the source for a cylindrical array sensor which is designed to detect the acoustic signal. Cylindrical array sensors seldom have an ideal hydrodynamic shape and are not sufficiently robust to survive without some protection and they are normally housed in a sonar dome. Reflected signals by some structure inside a sonar dome make unwanted signals. Therefore, an acoustic baffle is used to minimize unwanted signals. The performance of the acoustic baffles can be determined from the acoustic numerical analysis at the design stage. In this study, finite element method was used to analyze the acoustic field around the cylindrical array sensor and baffle effects. The baffle performance can be defined the echo reduction. To show the baffle performance, the specimens were made for pulse tube test and echo reductions were measured during the test. In this paper, the effect of echo reduction of the acoustic baffle was discussed.

Cylindrical array sensor of a surface ship to detect an enemy is normally installed in the sonar dome. Reflected signals by some structures inside the sonar dome make unwanted signals. To minimize unwanted signals, acoustic baffles are used. Acoustic baffles are hard to install and replace, so the durability of acoustic baffles is an important design parameter. To verify the durability of acoustic baffle, accelerated aging tests according to temperature and pressure were performed. Acoustic baffle specimens were made and they are tested the visual and the performance (echo reduction and transmission loss) inspection before and after aging. After the inspection, the effect of accelerated aging of the acoustic baffles were discussed.
