수십 kHz 주파수 대역에서 수중음향 투과 특성이 우수하며 기계적 물성 또한 우수한 수중음향 윈도우 재료를 개발하기 위하여 이층 구조를 가지는 폴리우레탄 시편을 제조하였으며 제조된 시편의 기계적 물성 및 수중음향 특성을 평가하였다. 이층 구조 폴리우레탄은 음향 투과 특성은 떨어지나 기계적 물성이 우수한 보호층과 기계적 물성은 떨어지나 음향 투과 특성이 우수한 음향투과층으로 이루어져 있으며 무접착 성형 방법을 이용하여 성공적으로 제조하였다. 제조된 이층 구조 폴리우레탄 시편은 보호층의 도입으로 표면 경도가 60 (shore A) 이상이었으며 감쇠 계수는 1.0dB/cm 내외를 나타내었다.

하천의 수심, 유속, 하상경사, 하상재료, 만곡도 등과 같은 물리적 특성에 따라 생물서식처로서 다양한 특성을 나타내고 그 특성들에 의해 서식처의 유형을 구분할 수 있다. 이러한 서식처 유형에 따라 수중음향의 특성이 달라지며, 수중음향의 서식지의 양적 표시자로서 잠재력으로 인해 최근 많은 연구들이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공적인 영향을 적게 받은 자연하천으로 양양 남대천 12개 지점을 대상으로 하여 서식지의 형태에 따른 수중음향과 하천의 수리적 인자에 따른 관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 서식처 유형으로는 빠른 유속에 얕은 수심을 가지고 있는 여울(riffle), 수심이 깊고 유속이 느린 소(pool), 낙차가 있는 계단형 여울(step riffle)에 대해 조사하였다. 수중배경음은 여울과 계단형 여울이 유사하게 나타났으며 소는 상대적으로 낮은 배경음을 나타내었다. H2, H4, H5, H9, H10 지점은 여울 형태로 유속에 따라 H2, H5, H4, H9 지점 순으로 음압레벨이 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, H10지점은 H9, H4 지점에 비해 낮은 유속임에도 높은 음압레벨을 보였다. 이는 H10 지점의 하상이 조도가 매우 큰 전석으로 이루어져 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다. H3, H6, H7, H8, H12 지점은 소 형태로 H12 지점을 제외하고 대체로 낮은 음압레벨을 보였으며, H3과 H6지점에서는 저주파수에서 높은 음압레벨을 보였다. 이는 수심이 깊은 경우 상류의 저주파수의 음파가 잘 전달되기 때문으로 판단된다. H1과 H11지점은 계단형 여울로 낮은 수심에서 빠른 유속을 가진 H11지점과 느린 유속을 가진 H1 지점에서 대체로 높은 음압레벨을 나타내었다. 이는 낙차에 의한 수중음향 발생에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 세 가지 유형에 따른 수중 음향을 비교하였을 때 음압레벨은 계단형 여울, 여울, 소 순서로 높게 나타났다. 결과적으로 수중음향이 서식처의 수리적 특성에 따라 다양한 특성을 나타내고 있으며, 이를 통해 생물서식처를 평가하기 위한 새로운 방법으로 수중음향의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다.

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.

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.

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.

Deeping on purpose, SAW device may have to function while immersed in a liquid. Those who are familiar with SAW devices would anticipate difficulty since the propagating surface waves will tend to radiate energy into the liquid and hence suffer attenuation. Thus, to design an immerable SAW device, more attention and full information about the wave properites is required to overcome the attenuation and get the highest SAW generation eficiency. Though numerical simulation, the optimal geometry of underwater SAW devices, such as optimal piezoelectric crystal cut, SAW propagation direction and nondimensional wave number(ka) is determined to get the maximum SAW excitation efficiency, the minimum attenuation in propagation and pure mode propagation for all the modes of surface wave propagation. The design technique can be appliedto an arbitrary combination of a piezoelectric layer, a substrate and a liquid medium. In this paper, PZT and PVDF layers and a steel substrate are use for the solid medium. The technique can be easily employed for the design of underwater sensors and actuators for the applications, such as sonar marine antifouling, industrial and medical uses.
