We present a new method for the fabrication of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) devices that exploits the thin piezoelectric ZnO films particularly sputter-deposited in a mixture of N2O and Ar gases as the reactive and sputtering gases, respectively. Some thermal annealing treatments were performed on the as-deposited ZnO films and also their effects on the resonance characteristics of the FBAR devices were investigated. It was found that with an optimized process, the resonance characteristics of the fabricated FBAR devices could be further improved.

In this study, the effects of different mix proportions and fire scenarios (exposure temperatures and post-fire-curing periods) on fire-damaged concrete were analyzed using a nonlinear resonance vibration method based on nonlinear acoustics. The hysteretic nonlinearity parameter was obtained, which can sensitively reflect the damage level of fire-damaged concrete. In addition, a splitting tensile strength test was performed on each fire-damaged specimen to evaluate the residual property. Using the results, a prediction model for estimating the residual strength of fire-damaged concrete was proposed on the basis of the correlation between the hysteretic nonlinearity parameter and the ratio of splitting tensile strength.

Swirl injector with adjustable backhole length was analyzed to suppress high-frequency combustion instability in Liquid Rocket Engines. In order to analyze the effect of variable backhole injector as an acoustic absorber, backhole injector was regarded as a quarter-wave resonator. As a result of theoretical approaches and acoustic tests, backhole injector with adjustable length could decrease the unstable modes of combustion chamber. And the damping efficiency was estimated by measuring damping rates experimentally.

40-100m 수심에 평탄한 모래층으로 구성된 구성된 친해를 1/1,000모형으로 축소시킨 무향수조내에서 Pekeris 모델에 대한 normal mode 관측실험을 점수신기로 수행하였다. 무향수조에 사용된 쐐기형 흡음재가 50kHz이상에서 20-25dB의 반향음 감쇠율을 가지므로 해서 이 수조가 해양과 유사한 조건을 갖게 되었으며, 실험에 사용된 점수신기는 B&K의 8130 수중청음기에 음향중심으로부터 조그만 크기의 사각형 틈을 제외하고 pressure-release 물질을 씌움으로써 얻을 수 있었다. 이 실험을 통해 얻은 결과들을 종합해 보면 연속모드의 피적분함수가 cut-off로부터 멀어지면 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과는 대략 수심의 10배 이내에서 다소 차이를 보일 뿐 전 관측거리에서 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다. 그러나 연속모드의 공진이 cut-off에 가까워 질수록 가상모드가 음향에 미치는 역할이 증대되어 근거리에서는 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과 큰 차이가 날 뿐만 아니라 영향이 미치는 거리가 수심의 수십배까지 증가함을 볼 수 있다. 특히 불연속모드의 개수가 2개이고 cut-off로부터 아주 가까운 가상모드가 존재할 경우, 가상모드가 수심의 60배 가까운 거리까지 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In this research, a Helmholtz resonator was applied to the thermo-acoustic environment that has thermal gradient using Rijke tube. The thermo-acoustic instability was invoked by a Rijke tube which use a DC power supplier and a Blower. A target instability frequency was appeared by the Rijke tube. A preliminary experiment on damping characteristics of the resonator in the thermo-acoustic environment was performed and compared with the room temperature experiment data.

We developed an electronic lens for acoustic imaging systems, which is linear array with 31 microphones equally spaced with distance 34mm. Resonant frequency fo receiver circuit coupled to microphone is 20 kHz. We arranged 16 microphones horizontally and 15 microphones vertically, so that the array allows us to obtain a 2 dimensional angle of source, and to track the motion of source in real time. Due to the problem of aliasing in discrete Fourier Transfrom, the maximum observable angle of the lens is limited to 15${\circ}$. We also employed quadrature phase detection scheme to adjust the focus. We have tested the acoustic lens with a personal computer in an anechoic room and obtained the results agreed with the acoustic imaging theory.

A Helmholtz resonator is applied to control high frequency combustion instability in liquid rocket engine. Damping characteristics of the Helmholtz resonator are investigated by the flow characteristic and its design. To simulate combustion instability, resonance in a test section(with fixed volume) is made by a pressure pulsator, and then damping characteristics are investigated. Its orifice length and diameter are selected as the design parameters and flow rates are varied to reveal the effect on damping characteristics. The experimental results show that a Helmholtz resonator is also working with flows. When length and diameter of an orifice are small, the tuning frequency increases as the flow velocity increases.

The hybrid acoustic sensor for implantable hearing aid has the structure in which a sound pressure based acoustic sensor (ECM) and a vibration based acceleration sensor are combined. This sensor combines the low frequency sensitivity of an acoustic sensor with the high frequency sensitivity of an acceleration sensor, allowing the acquisition of a wide range of sound from low to high frequency. In this paper, an acceleration sensor for use in a hybrid acoustic sensor has been proposed. The acceleration sensor captures the vibration of the tympanic membrane generated by the acoustic signal. The size of the proposed acceleration sensor was determined to diameter of 3.2 mm considering the anatomical structure of the tympanic membrane and the standard of ECM. In order to make the hybrid acoustic sensor have high sensitivity and wide bandwidth characteristics, the aim of the resonance frequency of the acceleration sensor is to be generated at about 3.5 kHz. The membrane of the acceleration sensor derives geometric structure through mathematical model and finite element analysis. Based on the analysis results, the membrane was implemented through a chemical etching process. In order to verify the frequency characteristics of the implemented membrane, vibration measurement experiment using external force was performed. The experiment results showed mechanical resonance of the membrane occurred at 3.4 kHz. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed acceleration sensor can be utilized for a hybrid acoustic sensor.

A car horn serves a crucial safety role as a means of communication between drivers and a part that alerts pedestrians in advance. While previous studies have utilized finite element method and electric circuit model to simulate and analyze characteristics of the car horns, there remains a lack of research on design methods of a trumpet horn. This paper presents a design approach that predicts the operating frequency based on the acoustic reactance at the throat of the horn, once the vibrating part is determined. We deal with a horn combining both an exponential horn and a waveguide in the acoustic section, and confirm that the acoustic reactance at the horn throat measured by impedance tube experiment agrees well compared with the numerical result obtained using the finite element method. The resonance frequency of the car horn is predicted using the COMSOL Multiphysics finite element numerical analysis model, and the proposed design method is validated by measuring the operating frequency of the designed horn in a sound pressure experiment. As a result, the resonance measured in a semi-anechoic chamber environment by applying a DC voltage of 12 [V] excluding the holder occurs accurately within a few [Hz] of the design operating frequency. This paper discuss the design method of a trumpet horn from the perspective of the horn's acoustic reactance, and is expected to be useful for designing horn systems.
