3-D linear acoustic analysis has been performed to elucidate damping characteristics of large Helmholtz acoustic cavities in FASTRAC thrust chamber. Acoustic impedance concept has been introduced to quantify combustion stabilization capacity. For a given acoustic cavity, sonic velocity in the cavity to achieve an optimal tuning has been determined and satisfactory agreement with the previous results has been obtained. Feasible estimation of sonic velocity in the acoustic cavity has been devised. Results show similar trends without significant deviations, which can be used in the procedure of design and verification of acoustic cavity. From the satisfactory results, investigation of other thrust chambers with acoustic cavities which have shown combustion instabilities will be done as future works.

해수의 물리적 성질 변화에 의한 수중음속 변화는 수중음파 전파에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 매질변동에 의한 음파 전파경로 변동특성, 즉 음파 도달시간 변동에 의한 매질변위량 추정으로 해양을 탐사하는“해양음향 토모그라피”를 운용하기 위하여 비균질 매질에서의 음파 전파경로 파악이 우선이다. 수심이 일정한 비균질한 매질에서의 음파 전파경로를 파악하기 위해 파동방정식의 해를 Ray theory에 의거 ray path를 구하고 송,수신기 사이를 연결하는 eigenray 정보를 얻었다. 음원의 주파수가 400Hz($\pm$25Hz), pulse length가 20ms인 LFM pulse를 사용하였다. 이 음원을 동해의 최소음속층에서 송,수신하였을 경우 음원에서 150Km 떨어진 수신기에 도달한 신호는 평균음속분포 일 때 보다 약 66ms 정도 빨리 도착한다. 또한 Eigenray 정보에 의거 모의된 수신신호는 토모그라피 운용을 위한 필수 조건인 ray path의 식별, 안정성, 그리고 분해능을 만족한다. 또한 모의 수신신호 음파 도달시간 변동 분석으로 송,수신기 사이의 매질 변동을 파악 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 극초음속 추진기관을 위한 고공환경 모사 설비 장치에서 시험부 안에 들어가는 시험 모델의 변수에 대해 고찰하였다. 시험부에 적용할 시험 모델을 대상으로 진행하고, 시험 모델 형상 변화에 따른 유동 특성을 파악하였다. 시험 모델에 대한 주요 변수는 폐색율, 각도, 받음각으로 설정하였으며, 해석은 EDISON_CFD에서 제공하는 정렬격자 기반 2차원 압축성 유동 범용 해석 SW로 진행하였다. 해석 결과를 통해 다양한 형상 변수에 따라 변화 되는 충격파 뒤의 압력층 두께를 확인 하였고, 압력층 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 시험 조건을 모사 할 수 없음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 형상 변수에 따른 극초음속 추진기관을 위한 고공모사설비에서 시험부에 적용될 시험 모델의 범위를 확인하였다.

Recently, Lee et al. have proposed an algorithm utilizing the signals from different paths by using bottom mounted simple linear array to estimate 3-D location of oceanic target. But this algorithm assumes that sound velocity is constant along depth of sea. Consequently, serious performance loss is appeared in real oceanic environment that sound speed is changed variously. In this paper, we present a 3-D near field localization algorithm for inhomogeneous sound speed. The proposed algorithm adopt localization function that utilize ray propagation model for multipath environment with linear sound speed profile(SSP), after that, the proposed algorithm searches for the instantaneous azimuth angle, range and depth from the localization cost function. Several simulations using linear SSP and non linear SSP similar to that of real oceans are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The estimation error in range and depth is decreased by 100m and 50m respectively.

배열센서를 사용한 표적의 위치 추정은 레이다 및 소나에서 잘 알려진 문제이다. 최근에 Lee 등은 1 차원 수평 선배열 센서만을 사용하여 다중경로를 통해 들어오는 신호로부터 표적의 3 차원 위치를 추정하였다. 그러나 이 알고리즘에서 수중에서의 음속은 수심에 관계없이 일정하다고 가정하였기 때문에 음속이 수심에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 실제 수중환경에서는 그 추정성능이 현저히 저하된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표적의 거리, 깊이, 방위각으로 구성되는 3 차원 위치 추정을 위해 비균일 음속환경에서의 음파전달모델(ray propagation model)을 이용한 ML 기법(maximum likelihood estimation)을 적용하였으며 일정한 음속을 가정한 Lee 기법의 추정치를 초기값으로 한 탐색을 통해 ML 기법의 연산량을 감소시켰다.

Several kinds of low voltage cables have been used in nuclear power plants for the supply of electric power, supervision, and the propagation of control signals. These low voltage tables must be inspected for safe and stable operation of nuclear power plants. In particular, the degradation diagnosis to estimate the integrity of low voltage rabies has recently been emphasized according to the long use of nuclear power plants. In order to evaluate their degradation, the surrounding temperature, hardness of insulation material, elongation at breaking point (EAB), etc. have been used. However, the measurement of temperature or hardness is not useful because of the absence of quantitative criteria; the inspection of a sample requires turning off of the power plant power; and, the electrical inspection method is not sufficiently sensitive from the initial through the middle stage of degradation. In this research, based on the theory that the ultrasonic velocity changes with relation to the degradation of the material, we measured the ultrasonic velocity as low voltage cables were degraded. To this end, an ultrasonic degradation diagnosis device was developed and used to measure the ultrasonic velocity with the clothing on the cable, and it was confirmed that the ultrasonic velocity changes according to the degradation of low voltage cables. The low voltage cables used in nuclear power plants were degraded at an accelerated rate, and EAB was measured in a tensile test conducted after the measurement of ultrasonic velocity. With the increasing degradation degree, the ultrasonic velocity decreased, whose potential as a useful parameter for the quantitative degradation evaluation was thus confirmed.

Bathymetry survey around the Baengnyeong-do was made by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA), using the Simrad EM3000 Multi-Beam EchoSounder (MBES) mounted at the hull of the R/V Badaro 1. Sound velocity were monitored with frequent sound velocity profiler(SVP) casts during the acoustic measurements. The depth distribution and fluctuation of thermocline varied locally owing to the effect of several current flows such as Kuroshio current and Yellow sea coastal waters. These uncertainties cause the falling-off in accuracy of MBES results. In this paper, the bathymetry results will be presented and their accuracy will be discussed along with comparisons to the time and spatial variations in sound velocity profile.

A logical measure is suggested to estimate an accurate Sound Speed Profile (SSP) for the unusual variation of salinity in the Yellow Sea. Based on National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Aqua and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data, this measure identifies the area of temperature inversion effect and expansion of low salinity (<30.5 psu) water. Subsequently, on the area, the Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) mounted unmanned maritime system estimates accurate SSP. In order to carry out this measure conveniently, a flow chart is demonstrated in this research. By using this measure which finds the high variational salinity area, the inaccuracy issue for calculating SSP from Expandable Bathy Thermograph (XBT) is expected to be solved.

In the present study, polyacetal bone mimics with circular cylindrical pores were used to investigate variations of speed of sound and attenuation coefficient with porosity and microarchitecture in bone. The speed of sound and attenuation coefficient of the 6 bone mimics with porosities from 0 % to 65.9 % were measured by a through-transmission method in water, using a pair of broadband, unfocused transducers with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a center frequency of 1.0 MHz. Independently of the structural properties of the bone mimics, the speed of sound decreased almost linearly with the increasing porosity. The attenuation coefficient measured at 1.0 MHz exhibited linear or nonlinear correlations with the porosity, depending on the structural properties of the bone mimics. These results are consistent with those previously published by other researchers using bone samples and mimics, and advances our understanding of the relationships of the ultrasonic parameters for the diagnosis of osteoporosis with the bone density and microarchitecture in human bones.
