In this paper, derivation of the STL (Sound Transmission Loss) of a square plate installed in an impedance tube is discussed using an analytic method. Coupled motion of the plate vibration and acoustic field is considered. Vibration of the plate and pressure field inside the tube are expressed in terms of the infinite series of modal functions. Under the plane wave assumption, it is shown that consideration of the first few modes yields sufficiently accurate results. When the boundary of the plate is clamped, vibration mode is assumed as a multiplication of the beam modes corresponding to the crosswise directions. The natural frequencies of the clamped plate are calculated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. It is found that the STL shows a dip at the lowest natural frequency of the plate, and increases as the frequency decreases below the natural frequency. Comparison of the result in this paper with the STL obtained by measurements and FE computations in the reference shows an excellent agreement.

종래에는 공조덕트의 소음 감소를 위하여 주로 흡음재료를 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 이러한 흡음재료를 이용한 소음감소대책은 500HZ 이상의 고주파 영 역에서는 효과가 있으나 500HZ 이하의 저주파 영역에서는 효과가 적다. 이 러한 500HZ이하의 저주파 소음은 각종 구조물의 진동을 야기시켜 정밀작업 이 요구되는 작업환경을 파괴하고, 심지어는 구조물에 손상을 입힐수도 있 다. 또한 이러한 저주파 소음에 노출된 사람의 심리를 불안하게 하여 일의 효율을 떨어뜨릴 뿐만 아니라 청력장애를 일으키기도 한다. 또한 청정환경이 요구되는 곳에서의 소음감소를 위하여 흡음재료를 사용할 경우 흡음재료로 부터 떨어져 나오는 미세분에 의해 청정환경의 보존이 어려워진다. 이러한 흡음재료를 이용한 수동소음제어 대책의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 소음을 그 소음과 동일한 진폭을 갖으며 위상차가 180도인 인위적인 음파로 상쇠시키 는 능동소음제어대책의 개발이 요구되어 왔다. 본 논문은 덕트 또는 이와 유 사한 음향환경내에서의 적응필터기법(adaptive filtering technique)을 이용한 능동소음제어방법의 개발, 실제구현 및 성능평가에 관한 것으로서, 특히 다 수의 에러 마이크로폰과 다수의 소음제어용 스피커를 사용하여 제어계통의 가관측성(Observability)및 가제어성(Controllability)을 향상시켜 평면파로 전 달되는 소음의 감소를 증대시킬수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고차모드(Higher-order mode)로 전달되는 소음의 제어도 가능케하는 능동소음제어 방법에 관하여 논하였다.

Leak noise is a good source to identify the exact location of a leak point of underground water pipelines. Water leak generates broadband noise from a leak location and can be propagated to both directions of water pipes. This sound propagation due to leak in water pipelines is not a non-dispersive wave any more because of the surrounding pipes and soil. However, the necessity of long-range detection of this leak location makes to identify low-frequency acoustic waves rather than high frequency ones. Acoustic wave propagation coupled with surrounding boundaries including cast iron pipes is theoretically analyzed and the wave velocity was confirmed with experiment. The leak locations were identified both by the acoustic emission (AE) method and the cross-correlation method. In a short-range distance, both the AE method and cross-correlation method are effective to detect leak position. However, the detection for a long-range distance required a lower frequency range accelerometers only because higher frequency waves were attenuated very quickly with the increase of propagation paths. Two algorithms for the cross-correlation function were suggested, and a long-range detection has been achieved at real underground water pipelines longer than 300m.

Oscillating heat release associated with periodic vortex-flame interaction was investigated experimentally. Turbulent jet flames were stabilized with recirculating hot products in a dump combustor, and large-scale periodic vortices were imposed into the jet flame by acoustic forcing. Forcing frequencies and operating parameters were adjusted to simulate unstable combustor operation in practical combustors. The objectives were to characterize vortex-heat release interaction that leads to unwanted heat release fluctuations and to identify the proper fuel injection pattern that could be used for actively suppressing such fluctuations. Phase-resolved CH* chemiluminescence and schlieren images were used as diagnostic tools. The results were compared at corresponding phases of vortex shedding cycle.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method of remote sound extraction using laser Doppler interferometry. The output frequency of a laser Doppler interferometer changes to be the same as the frequency of the acoustic wave from than object vibrated by the sound due to the Doppler effect. Based on this phenomenon, we measure the vibrational frequency of a remote target affected by a sound wave in real time, via laser Doppler interferometry. We track the peak frequency of the interferometer's output via appropriate signal processing, which confirms that the characteristics of the so detected wave are the same as that of the original sound source. We also confirm that the same method can retrieve the sound waves not only from remote sources of single tones, but from those of any sound.

This paper establishes a modeling and simulation procedure for structural response and reliability of a cylindrical array sensor on submarines under the shock generated by underwater explosion. The structural reliability of SONAR is important because the submarine could get out of combat ability by the structural damage of the SONAR upon explosion. A cylindrical array sensor was first modeled using the finite element method. Modal analysis was then performed for the check of the reliability of the modeling. The shock resistance simulations were performed for the responses to the structural shock waves and for the responses to the directly applied underwater shock waves, according to BV-043 and MIL-STD-901D, respectively. The stresses of the structure were evaluated with von-Mises scheme. Vulnerable regions were exposed through mapping the maximum stress to the structural model. Maximum stress of the SONAR was compared with the yield stress of the material to examine the structural reliability.

In this study, a new slab system where a part of precast slab is connected each other by viscoelastic material is proposed and numerical analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of the connection between the material and PC slab on the vibration and noise control. Substructuring is introduced to develop the equation of motion for the slab system. In addition, the optimal properties of viscoelastic material are investigated. For the performance evaluation of the new slab system, the sound power and acceleration responses of the slab are compared with those of two way slab and one way slab, respectively. Numerical analysis results show that the sound power of the new slab system can be reduced by viscoelastic material significantly.

In this paper, we study a noise-robust feature extraction method of speech signal based on auditory modeling. The auditory model consists of a basilar membrane, a hair cell model and spectrum output stage. Basilar membrane model describes a response characteristic of membrane according to vibration in speech wave, and is represented as a band-pass filter bank. Hair cell model describes a neural transduction according to displacements of the basilar membrane. It responds adaptively to relative values of input and plays an important role for noise-robustness. Spectrum output stage constructs a mean rate spectrum using the average firing rate of each channel. And we extract feature vectors using a mean rate spectrum. Simulation results show that when auditory-based feature extraction is used, the speech recognition performance in noisy environments is improved compared to other feature extraction methods.

Biot proposed the frequency dependent formulation for the propagation of elastic waves in saturated media based on the coupled theory mixtures. Based on Biot theory, a special frequency called 'the characteristic frequency' contains unique information of the permeability of soils. The characteristic frequency is measured from I/Q (inverse quality factor) versus frequency curve by an acoustic sweep test, and the permeability of soils is computed from Biot equation. In this paper, laboratory tests are performed at The University of Mississippi using a large test box. The measured characteristic frequency is consistently obtained at 3500 Hz for mortar sands. The computed permeability of mortar sands based on Biot equation turned out 2.01 $10^{-4}m/sec$, while the permeability from the laboratory constant head test turned out 1.49 $10^{-4}m/sec$. This paper addresses the theoretical background and experimental procedure of this technique.
