Sound radiated from a structure in vibration is an important physical characteristic to evaluate vibro-acoustic problem. Although sound radiation power can be typically obtained by intensity measurement, long measuring time and strict measuring condition remain difficult. As an alternative method, simulation-based estimation can be taken into account and its accuracy is known to be acceptable. However, difficulty still lies in that specialized softwares may be necessary to obtain sound radiation power and radiation efficiency. In this context, this study suggests two methods using an ordinary FE method to calculate sound radiation power. They are well-known reciprocity technique and p-p method, which are basically test methods. It is shown that either method can practically estimate sound radiation in the frame of conventional Finite Element Method (FEM). The methods and their corresponding limit are discussed with some results.

Generally, sound power is one of the most significant factors to predict and assess noise from sound sources. However, many researchers developed indirect methods to calculate the sound power with noise level because it is impossible to measure sound power directly while a train is running. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate sound power generated due to wheel/rail interaction and propulsive equipment from the measurement of noise emitted from rolling stocks and verify the estimation method by comparing with the other sound power estimation formula. We also analyze the sound power of rolling stocks which are operating in domestic lines such as EMU, Mukoonghwa, KTX using the method proposed in this paper.

Beamforming method has a limited spatial resolution because of finite aperture size, so that the estimated source distributions are smoothed within the resolution. Especially for low frequency noise such as mechanical noise, this limitation often diminishes the direct use of beamforming method. In this study, the relation between smoothed beamforming and radiation power distribution of plate has been addressed. By adjustment of aperture size of array, the smoothed beamforming power shows radiation power distribution of plate. Numerical simulations are carried for simply supported plate.

The analysis system implementing a serial process from structural vibration to sound radiation has been developed using both the power flow finite element method (PFFEM) known as a new vibrational analysis technique in medium to high frequency ranges and the acoustic boundary element method (BEM) which is effective in analyzing the sound radiation problems. The vibration analysis for arbitrary shape structures composed of plates is performed, and using the vibration energy density obtained from this analysis as the velocity boundary conditions for an acoustic analysis, vibro-acoustic analysis has been processed. To verify the developed system, we select a simple structure model and compare the results of developed system with those of SYSNOISE, and also the developed system is applied for the vibro-acoustic analysis of various structures in shapes.

스트레인 게이지 브리지와 한개의 진동변위 탐촉자를 이용하여 평판의 근접장에서 음향 인텐시티를 측정하는 방법에 대하여 설명하였다. 또한 구조감쇠의 모델링을 통하여 음향방사파워에 대한 내부손실파워의 비를 나타내는 계수를 정의하여 내부손실파워의 정도를 평가하는 척도로 사용할 수 있음을 설명하였다. 임의의 경계조건을 가지는 평판에서 2개의 마이크로폰과 1개의 가속계를 이용하여 근사적으로 측정된 음향 인텐시티와 본고에서 제시한 방법으로 측정한 음향 인텐시티가 거의 일치함을 보이므로써 제시된 측정방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 실험에 사용된 계(system)는 일반적인 해석에서 유체부하를 무시할 수 있는 계로 평판내부의 에너지 흐름에 비하여 외부로 방사되는 소음의 에너지 흐름이 매우 작기 때문에 평판내부의 에너지 흐름으로부터 방사되는 소음의 에너지 흐름을 알아내는 것이 매우 어려울 것으로 예상되었으나 본고에 제시된 방법으로 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 앞으로 본 방법의 측정 오차에 대한 면밀한 고찰이 있어야 할 것이다. 그리고 평판의 내부손실이 비교적 큰 경우에 본 방법의 실험적으로 검증이 필요할 것이다. 또한 실질적인 문제에 응용되어 얼마만큼 유용한 정보를 제공할 것인가를 살펴보아야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 구면파를 가정한 빔형성 방법의 분해능을 실제 물리적인 현상에서 일어나는 스므딩 현상과 일치하도록 조정하여 이를 평판의 방사음장의 경우에 적용하여 보고자 한다. 물리적인 스므딩 현상은 음파의 파장을 기준으로 일어나므로 빔형성 파워의 분해능 역시 음파의 파장과 관련지어 생각할 수 있을 것이다.

An important source of noise from railways is rolling noise caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel-rail contact. In conventional approaches to predicting rail noise, the rail is regarded as placed in a free space so that the reflection from the ground is not included. However, in order to predict rail noise close to the rail, the effect of the ground should be contained in the analysis. In this study the rail noise reflected from the ground is investigated using the wavenumber domain finite element and boundary element methods. First, two rail models, one using rail attached to the rigid ground and one using rail located above rigid ground, are considered and examined to determine the rigid ground effect in terms of the radiation efficiency. From this analysis, it was found that the two models give considerably different results, so that the distance between the rail and the ground is an important factor. Second, an impedance condition was set for the ground and the effect of the ground impedance on the rail noise was evaluated for the two rail models.

This article investigates the effects of geometric configuration on the vibro-acoustic characteristics of in-plane vibration of a thick annular disc. Disc thickness and outer radius for a given inner radius are selected as independent variables having reasonable ranges. Variations in structural eigensolutions for radial modes are investigated using pre-developed analytical method. Based on these data, far-field sound pressure distributions due to the modal vibrations for a given geometry are also calculated using an analytical solution. Modal sound powers and radiation efficiencies are calculated from the far-field sound pressure distributions and vibratory velocity distributions on the radial surfaces. Based on the results explained above, the geometric configuration that minimizes modal sound radiations in a given frequency range is determined. Finally sound power and radiation efficiency spectra for a unit harmonic force from the selected geometric configuration are obtained from structural and acoustic modal data using the modal expansion technique. Multi-modal sound radiations of the optimized disc that are obtained using proposed analytical methods are confirmed with numerical results. Using the procedure introduced in this article, sound radiation due to in-plane modes within a specific frequency range can be minimized by the disc geometry modifications in a comprehensive and convenient manner.

The noise generated from a treadband mechanism of a tire has been the subject of this research. In particular, the treadband has been treated as an infinite tensioned beam resting on an elastic foundation which includes damping. The main objective is to predict the sound power generated from a system mentioned above by locating harmonic point forces representing the excitation of treadband at the contact patch. It is possible to predict the sound power radiated from this structure by using wavenumber transformation techniques. In order to find out the minimum radiated sound power, All parameters were varied. Thus, this model can be used as a tire design guide for selecting parameters which produces the minimum noise radiation.

이 글에서는 능동소음제어에 있어서, 음장 혹은 음원을 표현하는 물리량은 음향에너지, 파워, 인텐시티를 통하여 제어 가격함수로서의 각 의미를 살펴보았다. 졍리하면 이 세가지 물량들은 음향에너지의 균형이라는 물리적 변칙에 의해 서로 단단히 결속되어 있으며, 이들은 음장의 형태와 성격 그리고 파장과 주파수 등과 관련이 있으므로, 능동소음제어 입장에서 제어 목적에 맞게 적절히 사용할 필요가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 음향 에너지의 제어 개념 즉, 음향에너지를 가격함수로 하는 제어 방법은, 원하는 정숙공간(zone of quiet)을 제어할 때 그 적절성이 있음을 보았 으며, 음향 파워는 그 물리량 자체가 어떤 음원의 특성을 표현하고 있으므로 제어에 의하여 방사 효율을 감소(weak radiator)시키고자 할 때 가장 자연스러운 가격 함수 가 됨을 살펴보았다. 또한 음향 인텐시티라는 물리량은 음향 에너지의 전달 특성을 대표하는 특성임을 살펴보았고, 따라서 소음 전파의 감소(noise transmission reduction)를 위한 제어 가격 함수로의 당위성을 확인하였다. 이러한 모든 제어 방법 들이 사실은 가관측성 및 가제어성을 가져야 함은 주지의 사실이며, 음향 파워나 인텐시티를 가격 함수로 하는 제어 방법의 경우 실제적인 가관측성상의 문제점들로 인하여 그 현실성이 아직은 거리가 있다 하겠다.
