Empirical prediction method of the acoustic load on the fairing is based on jet experimental data on the basis of similarity principle. Representative empirical prediction method, DSM-II(Distributed Source Method-II), is a distributing source method along the jet plume. But the empirical prediction model is limited to reflect the impingement source in real environment because it is based on the free jet data. So, we propose a empirical prediction method considering the impinging jet effect by adding a impingement source in the existing prediction method. Considering the additional source's displacement, spectrum, strength and directivity, we calculate the acoustic load on the KSR-III(Korean Sounding Rocket-III) rocket and compare the results with the existing method and experiment data.

The paper proposes a chaotic double tent mapping PWM scheme for mitigation the acoustic noise of a motor chive. The chaos area ${\lambda}=0.99$ in bifurcation tree of the double tent mapping is used for generating the chaotic numbers. A 80C196 micro-controller is employed for generation of chaotic numbers, and the triangular carrier with chaotic frequency is obtained by using a 80C196 micro-controller and a MAX038 frequency modulator. The experiments are executed with a 1.5[kw] induction motor chive under the 2.5[A] load condition. As results, the experimental results show that the carrier, voltage and 3-D switching noise spectra of the proposed scheme is spread over the chaotic frequency range with no specific frequency concentration. Thereby, the shrill acoustic noise radiated from a motor chive is reduced by the proposed scheme.

Installing noise barriers is the most common method for reducing the highway traffic noise to the road side residential area. After the report about edge potential concept of a noise barrier, various types of noise reducing devices(NRDs) called "noise reducers" have been suggested for getting more shielding effect on the top of highway noise barriers. But, it has been doubtful about effect of the NRDs in field because there was no appropriate and unified method to estimate the acoustic performance by using field measurement of the NRDs in Korea. In this study, the authors have considered to setup a practical method to test and estimate the acoustic performance of NRDs. For eliminating the noise reduction effect of the NRDs height itself, the source and measuring points are adjusted as highly as the NRDs height. For the frequency weighting in the estimation of the NRDs effect, the highway noise spectra were measured at asphalt and concrete road side and then averaged for a unit spectral parameter.

To study the water-entry impact noise, on-board experiment using a small launcher firing various objects was performed in the Yellow Sea. As the launcher fires a cylindrical object from the ship vertically, generated noise is measured with a hydrophone on the starboard of Chung-hae, Marine surveyor. Three types of cylindrical objects, which have noses of flat-faced, conical, and hemisphere, were used during the experiment. The measured noise exhibits a time-dependency which can be divided into three phases: (1) initial impact phase, (2) open cavity flow phase, (3) cavity collapse and bubble oscillation phase. In most cases, the waveform of bubble oscillation phase is dominant rather than that of initial impact phase. Pinch-off time, where a cavity begins to collapse, occurs at 0.18 ~ 0.2 second and the average lasting time of bubble was 0.9 ~ 1.3 second. The energy of water-entry impact noise is focused in the frequency region lower than 100 Hz, and the generated noise is influenced by the nose shapes, object mass, and launching velocity. As a result, energy spectral density on the bubble frequency is higher in the order of flat-faced, conical, hemisphere nose, and the increase of initial energy raises the energy spectral density on the bubble frequency in the cylinder body of same shape. Finally, we compare the measurements with the simulated signals and spectrum based on the bubble explosion physics, and obtain satisfactory agreements between them.

The only law related to airblast and ground vibration control in Korea is the Noise and Vibration Control Act enforced by the Ministry of Environment. But this law mainly deals with the annoyance aspects of noises and vibrations in ordinary human life. Hence, the law defines the safety criteria of ground vibration as the vibration level (VL) of dB(V) unit. The ground vibrations produced from blasting, however, have the unique characteristics that can be shown in shock vibrations, and the duration is also very short compared to the vibrations from machinery, tools or facilities. Hence, vibration regulations for blasting operations usually define the safety criterion as the peak particle velocity (PPV) considering the effect of ground vibrations to structural damage. Notwithstanding, there are several attempts that predict VL from PPV or estimate VL based on the scaled distances (SD; in unit of $m/kg^{1/2}$ or $m/kg^{1/3}$) without considering their frequency spectra. It appears that these attempts are conducted mainly for the purpose of satisfying the law in blasting contracts. But, in principle there could no correlation between peaks of velocity and acceleration over entire frequency spectrum. Therefore, such correlations or estimations should be conducted only for the waves with the same or very similar frequency spectra.

The identification of a moving noise source is important in reducing the source power of the transport systems such as airplanes or high speed trains. However, the direct measurement using a microphone running with noise source is usually difficult due to wind noise, white the source motion distorts the frequency characteristics of the pass-by sound measured at a fixed point. In this study the relationship between the spectra of the source and the pass-by sound signal is analyzed for an acoustic source moving at a constant velocity. Spectrum of the sound signal measured at a fixed point has an integral relationship with the source spectrum. Nevertheless direct conversion of the measured spectrum to the source spectrum is ill-posed due to the singularity of the integral kernel. Alternatively a differential equation approach is proposed, where the source characteristics can be recovered by solving a differential equation relating the source signal to the distorted measurement in time domain. The parameters such as the source speed and the time origin, required beforehand, are also determined only from the frequency-phase relationship using an auxiliary measurement. With the help of the regularization method, the source signal is successfully recovered. The effects of the parameter errors to the estimated frequency characteristics of the source are investigated through numerical simulations.

The method is introduced for estimating the noise source contribution on the noise of PDP TV in a multiple-input system where the input sources may be coherent with each other. By the coherence function method, it is found that the biggest part of the noise source in the PDP TV noise is generated by the PCB boards which consume high power and produce high heat. This analysis is modeled as three-input/single-output system because the noise is generated by three main boards, X-board, Y-board, SMPS that are located close to each other. The coherence function method is proved to be useful tool for identifying of noise source. In this study, Transfer Path Analysis using MDSA is implemented to determine the quantitative noise contribution of each board for PDP TV with the rear case closed and with the rear case open. And the possibility of noise reduction is confirmed through the experimental method that isolates the most contributing board by adding sound-absorbing materials to it.

This study is base on the fault detection and diagnosis when a crack is happened a structure. A crack in a structure will affect the modal parameters. We are searched a percentage of changes in the natural frequencies according to changes of location and propagation of the crack using the Rayleigh's energy method. This method is presented to identify the presence of a crack and its location. The study is carried out both theoretically and experimentally and the results are presented in this paper. The location of the crack is also moved from the fixed end to the free end along its length. The changes in natural frequencies are observed from theoretically study, due to the presence of the crack at different locations and depths, and the percentage change in frequency values are calculated. These results are confirmed by the experiments. And then, a difference between a cracked beam and uncracked beam observed using the bispectrum as high-order spectrum.

Structures with additional frictional damping system have strong nonlinearity that the dynamic behavior is highly affected. by the relative magnitude between frictional force and excitation load. In this study, normalized response spectra of the structures with non-dimensional friction force are obtained through nonlinear time history analyses of the mass-normalized single degree of freedom systems using 20 ground motion data recorded on rock site. The variation of the control performance of frictional damping system is investigated in terms of the dynamic load and the structural natural period, of which effects were not considered in the previous studies. Least square curve fitting equations are presented for describing those normalized response spectrum and optimal non-dimensional friction forces are obtained for controlling the peak displacement and absolute acceleration of the structure based on the derivative of the curve fitted design spectrum.
