In this paper, the relation between the radiated sound and the vibration due to piezoelectric ESWL(Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter) is examined and the results of the experiments are represented. Next, the relation between the focal point and the vibration of the objects is examined. The same experiments with the objects that can be broken are done and the relation between the vibration and the break efficiency of the phantom is experimentally investigated. These results show that the relativity between the power of the peak frequency and the break efficiency can be confirmed.

When the vibration of a phantom induced by Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter (ESWL) was investigated. we found the fact that the Peak frequency in the Power spectrum shifts from high frequency to low frequency as the number of shots increases[2]. The fact was confirmed experimentally by detecting the peak frequency obtained from the vibrations of bronze models[3]. This Paper investigates the experimental results. For the Purpose. we carried out the computer simulation using the finite element method. It is found that the results from the experiments are computer by computer simulation.

When the piezoelectric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is operated. sounds are generated. In this paper, we present a fact that the sounds are radiated undoubtedly from the object to be hit by the shock waves. For this results. we use the method to identify the sound source location of the radiated sounds by estimating the distance and the bearing from the sound source using one hydrophone. In addition. we investigate the relation between the radiated sounds and the vibrations of the objects using bronze models of disc type with clear vibrating characteristics and present the results of experiments to be analyzed.

압전식 충격파 쇄석기를 사용하여 대상물을 파쇄하는 과정에서 발생하는 음의 특성을 조사한 결과, 대상물이 파쇄됨에 따라 방사음이 더욱 저주파대로 이동한다는 사실을 알았다. 이 사실을 입증하기 위하여 대상물의 파쇄상태를 모델링한 대상물을 사용한 실험에서는 동일한 결과를 관측할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실험적으로 추정된 연구결과를 이론적으로 확인하기 위하여 유한요소법을 이용한 수치 시뮬레이션을 실험과 유사하게 모델링한 대상물에 실행하였고, 시뮬레이션에서 관측된 결과를 제시하여 대상 연구결과의 유효성을 입증하였다.
