In this study, with the FEM we analyzed the variation of the resonance frequency, bandwidth, and sound pressure of the Tonpilz transducer in relation to its design variables. Through statistical multiple regression analysis of the results, we derived functional forms of the resonance frequency, bandwidth, and sound pressure in terms of the design variables. By applying the constrained optimization technique, SQP-PD, to the derived function, we determined the optimal structure of the transducer that could provide the highest sound pressure level at the resonance frequency of 30,000 Hz and having the -3 dB bandwidth more than 10%, The validity of the optimized results was confirmed through comparison of the optimal performance with that of the FEA. The optimal design method proposed could reflect all the cross-coupled effects of multiple structural variables, and could determine the detailed geometry of the transducer with great efficiency and rapidity.

This study is aimed for the implementation of ultrasonic method to assess the reliability of turbine bearings. A modified ultrasonic immersion technique was carried out in both laboratory experiment and field application. From the laboratory results, we confirmed that the condition of interface layer between the babbitt and base metal be monitored by the C-Scan. The C-scan image by the ultrasonic immersion test can be used successfully to observe the condition of interface layer. The testing with a focused transducer provides a promising approach for estimating the extent of the damaged region and observing the interface layer effectively. The difference of the ultrasonic reflection ratio between the bonding and debonding area at the interface layer is one of the key parameters for assessing the extent of the damaged area; additionally, the reflection amplitude exhibits a favorable correlation with the overall damage level. The technique developed in this study was applied to the inspection of the turbine bearings at several power plants in Korea whereby the applicability in the field can be ascertained.

경계요소법에 기초한 음향 홀로그래피의 재구성 정확도 향상을 위해서는 근접 음장에서의 음압 측정을 수반한다. 이에 따라 비전파음 성분이 측정에 포함되어 전달행렬의 특이성에 의한 오차를 줄일 수 있다. 그러나, 전달행렬 구성을 위해서 사용되는 일반적인 경계요소법은 Kirchhoff-Helmholtz 방정식의 기본해가 갖는 특이성 때문에 근접음장에서 큰 수치 오차를 유발하는 문제가 있다. 특이성이 제거된 경계 적분방정식을 도입하여 음향 홀로그래피를 수행함으로써 근접 음장에서의 수치오차 문제를 극복하고 정확한 음장 예측 및 전달 행렬을 구성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 단순한 수치 해석 모델을 이용하여 음향 홀로그래피 계산을 수행하였고, 일반 경계요소법을 사용한 경우와 비교하여 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 밝혔다.

최근 단말기는 MP3, DMB 등 멀티미디어 모듈이 탑재되어 있다. 대부분의 멀티미디어 기능은 이동중에 사용되므로 이어폰으로 음향을 청취하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 이어폰의 장시간 사용은 난청과 같은 신체적 부작용이 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 단말기 이어폰의 최대 음압 레벨을 측정할 수 있는 평가방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 유럽 규격인 EN50332_1를 참고하여 평가 기준을 확립하였다. 제안한 방법은 몇 개의 파라미터를 정량적으로 측정하고 관리함으로써 제조물 책임법 위반 사고를 예방할 수 있다.

In this paper, the sound radiation from a clamped circular plate with a viscoelastic layer excited by impact force is studied both analytically and experimentally. The composite plate vibrations are obtained by using the normal mode analysis and the eigenvalues are obtained by a Mindlin plate theory including the rotary inertia and shear deformation, The contact force developed between the ball and the plate with attached layers is obtained by Hertz contact theory. The radiated sound pressure is calculated by the Rayleigh integral. Prediction of the waveforms of sound radiating from the plate with attached layers and a method for reducing noise generation from the plate by impact force are also shown in this paper.

The objectives in the present study are to investigate that the enhancement heat transfer was experimentally measured and was compared with the acoustic pressure obtained by numerical analysis. From the results of the present study, a strong Fluid motion initiated by ultrasonic vibrations can affect heat and mass transfer. This phenomenon. called acoustic streaming, clearly observed by PIV measurement leads to increase in velocity of a Fluid which is a crucial physical concept to explain the enhancement heat transfer. The heat transfer coefficient is increased with increase in the ultrasonic intensities. The largest enhancement heat transfer (about 26%) is measured at the ultrasonic intensity of 300W. Acoustic streaming results from sudden acoustic pressure variations in the liquid. The results of numerical analysis reveal that acoustic pressure is increased by 59.5% at the ultrasonic intensity of 300W. The higher acoustic pressure near four ultrasonic transducers develops more intensive flow destroying the flow instability. Also, the profiles of acoustic pressure variation are consistent with those of enhancement heat transfer.

It is well recognized that the ultrasonic methods is one of the most common and reliable nondestructive testing(NDT) methods for the quantitative estimation of defects in welded structures. However, NDT techniques applying for adhesively bonded joints have not been clearly established yet. In this paper, the detection of interface crack by the ultrasonic method was applied for the measurement of interfacial crack length in the adhesively bonded joints of double-cantilever beam(DCB). The optimum condition of transmission coefficients in the adhesively bonded joints and it's experimental accuracy by the ultrasonic method have been investigated. The experimental values are in good agreement with the computed results by boundary element method(BEM) and Ripling's equation.

In this paper, an analysis of sound propagation between two rooms with different mediums is discussed. Statistical energy analysis (SEA) is used to consider energy equilibrium among subsystems associated with the sound pressure levels in two rooms and the vibration level of the wall between rooms. Effect of the sound radiation from the structure-borne noise of the wall on sound pressure level of the receiving room is investigated. For a numerical example, sound propagation between engine room and water tank joined by a steel plate whose size is $8.4{\times}4$ m, is considered. It is found that when the critical frequency of the plate is above the frequency range of interest, the sound pressure level in the water tank is dominated by sound transmission through the plate, while sound radiation from the structure-borne noise of the plate is negligible except low frequency range below 63 Hz.
