컴퓨터에 의한 실내음향 예측에 있어 확산반사의 고려는 매우 중요한 요소의 하나로 간주된다. 지난 수년 동안 음선추적법을 이용하여 실내음향을 예측하는 경우에 확산 반사를 고려하기 위한 방안들이 다양하게 제시되었으나 경면반사를 근본으로 하는 영상법에서는 확산 반사를 고려하기가 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 그래픽 분야에서 제안된 확장 라디오 시티법을 적용하여 영상법에서 확산반사를 고려하는 방안을 제시하였다. 부분적으로 확산성을 갖는 반사면에서의 음향에너지 반사는 확산반사와 경면반사의 형태로 나누어 볼 수 있으며 반사의 횟수를 거듭함에 따라 확산-확산, 확산-경면, 경면-확산, 경면-경면의 형태로 반사에너지의 전환이 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 고차 형태계수의 개념을 이용하여 이 네가지 형태의 반사음전달과정을 모두 고려할 수 있도록 함으로써 실내의 벽면을 부분적 확산반사의 특성을 갖는 반사면으로 모델링 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 확장라디오시티법의 개념과 이에 따른 고차형태계수의 근사 계산법을 제시하고 고차형태계수가 실내음향 씨뮬레이션의 결과에 미치는 영향 등을 분석해 보았다.

Numerous investigations have demonstrated that diffused reflection is one of the most important factors in predicting room acoustics by computer simulation. Recent studies have suggested several computational algorithms in order to account for diffused reflections in the ray tracing or beam tracing method. In this study, a computational algorithm for the calculation of diffuse sound reflections in the image method is suggested and a computer simulation system is developed based on the suggested algorithm. The methodology adopted in our computer simulation system is similar to the extended radiosity method, which is developed for the computer graphics. In a real room, sound energy is reflected in a partially diffused manner which results in four reflection combinations: diffuse-diffuse, specular-specular, diffuse-specular and specular-diffuse. In this study, higher order form factor is introduced to handle the four types of reflection combinations so that the partially diffused reflection could be modeled. In this paper, the concept of extended radiosity method is described and the approximate method of calculating higher order form factor is suggested. Finally, the effect of higher order form factors on the simulation of reverberation time is investigated.

Complex acoustic signals can be formed in a water-filled acoustic pulse tube under some exciting conditions. It makes difficult to measure plane-wave reflection coefficient with the pulse tube for low frequency bands. In this study, using COMSOL Multiphysics we show that the tube wall excitation generates complex acoustic field of nonplanar mode as well as planar one. From such field incident or reflected planar mode can be decomposed respectively with a modal decomposition method, two-dimensional Fourier filtering. It makes possible to more accurately determine the plane-wave reflection coefficient of acoustic specimen with time gating.

쐐기각이 다른 4종류의 쐐기형 흡음타일을 설계,제작하고 각각의 흡음타일에 대한 음파 반사계수를 측정하였다. 흡음타일의 정면에서 측정한 반사계수는 실험한 4개의 타일중 쐐기의 꼭지각이 30$^{\circ}$일 때 최소값을 갖고 120$^{\circ}$ 일 때 최대값을 가졌다. 쐐기형 흡음타일의 꼭지각이 클수록 그 반사계수가 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 쐐기의 꼭지각이 같은 종류의 타일헤서는 본 실험에 사용한 10kHz~30kHz 입사음파의 주파수와 측정한 반사계수는 무관함을 보였다. 그리고 쐐기형 흡음타일 후면에서 측정한 반사계수는 타입에 관계없이 일정하게 나타났다.

The plane wave reflection coefficient is an acoustic property containing all the information concerning the ocean bottom and can be used as an input parameter to various acoustic propagation models. In this paper, we measure the plane wave reflection coefficient, the sound speed, thd the attenuation for saturated granular medium in the water tank. Three kinds of glass beads and natural sand are used as the granular medium. The reflection experiment is performed with the sinusoidal tone bursts of 100 kHz at incident angles from 28 to 53 degrees, and the sound speed and attenuation experiment are performed also with the same signal. From the measured reflection signal, the reflection coefficient is calculated with the self calibration method and the experimental uncertainties are discussed. The sound speed and the attenuation measurements are used for the estimation of the porosity and permeability, the main Biot parameters. The estimated values are compared to the directly measured values and used as input values to the Biot theory in order to calculate the theoretical reflection coefficient. Finally, the reflection coefficient predicted by Biot theory is compared to the measured reflection coefficient and their characteristics are discussed.

High-frequency bottom loss measurements for grazing angle of $82^{\circ}$ in frequency range 17-40 kHz were made in Jinhae bay in the southern part of Korea. Observations of bottom loss showed the strong variation as a function of frequency, which were compared to the predicted values using two-layered sediment reflection model. The geoacoustic parameters including sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient for the second sediment layer were predicted from the empirical relations with the mean grain size obtained from sediment core analysis. The geoacoustic parameters for the surficial sediment layer were inverted using Monte Carlo inversion algorithm. A sensitivity study for the geoacoustic parameters showed that the thickness of surficial sediment layer was most sensitive to the variation of the bottom loss.

When we apply a propagation model to the ocean with boundaries, we can calculate reflected wave using reflection coefficient suggested by Rayleigh assuming the boundaries are flat. But boundaries in ocean such as sea surface and sea bottom have an irregular rough surface. To calculate the reflection loss for an irregular boundary, it is needed to compute the coherent reflection coefficient based on an experimental formula or scattering theory. In this article, we derive the coherent reflection coefficients for a fluid-fluid interface using perturbation theory, Kirchhoff approximation and small-slope approximation respectively. Based on each formula, we can calculate coherent reflection coefficients for a rough sea surface or sea bottom, and then compare them to the Rayleigh reflection coefficient to analyze the reflection loss for a random rough surface. In general, the coherent reflection coefficient based on small-slope approximation has a wide valid region. Comparing it with the coherent reflection coefficients derived from the Kirchhoff approximation and perturbation theory, we discuss a valid region of them.

In this study, the analysis technique of fracture stress using the reflection coefficient of SAW reflected from a brittle solid with surface crack has been studied. Fracture stress of brittle solid with surface crack has been obtained by the function of the critical stress intensity factor and the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of the crack in the body. And the maximum normalized stress intensity factor of a surface crack can be inferred from a measurement of reflection coefficient of SAW. In experiment, the surface cracks ranging from 0.5mm to 0.9mm in crack depth has been made at the center of each Pyrex disc, and the SAW wedge transducer has been set up for the pitch-catch mode. It has been compared the theoretical values of the fracture stress calculated from the reflection coefficient of SAW with the values of the fracture stress measured from UTM.

본 연구에서는 무반향 수조의 내벽 흡음 물질로 사용되는 무반향 타일을 쐐기형으로 제작하여 쐐기의 꼭지 각 변화에 따른 음향학적인 특성을 고찰하였다. 실험에서 사용된 쐐기형 무반향 타일의 크기는 $40{\cal}cm{\times}38.5{\cal}cm$ 이며, 타일을 구성하는 각 쐐기의 길이는 $2.75{\cal}cm$로 고정하고 각각 쐐기의 꼭지각이 $30^\circ$ 와 $60^\circ$ 인 타일을 제작하였다. 수중에서 쐐기가 없는 무반향 시료와 쐐기형 무반향 타일에 음파를 수직 입사하여 반사계수를 측정하였으며, 쐐기의 유무와 무반향 타일을 구성하는 쐐기의 꼭지각 변화에 따른 반사 및 흡음 특성을 고찰하였다. 음향특성 임피던스가 $2.14\times10^6$ Pa$\cdot$s/m인 쐐기형 무반향 타일을 25kHz 에서 100kHz의 주파수 영역의 음파를 입사했을 애 쐐기의 꼭지각이 $30^\circ$ 일 때 $60^\circ$보다 압력반사계수가 작고, 반사손실이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 그 결과로써 본 실험에서 사용된 $30^\circ$의 쐐기 꼭지각을 갖는 무반향 타일이 내벽 흡음 물질로서 성능이 더 좋다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper was conducted as an attempt in order to construct the data bank of target strength for acoustic estimation of fish length in the coastal waters of Korea. The fish length dependence of acoustic target strength for 13 large yellow croakers (Pseudosciaena crocea) at 75 kHz was investigated and the prediction of the target strength by using the Kirchhoff-Ray Mode model (KRM model) was compared with target strength measurements. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. In the averaged target strength pattern for 13 large yellow croakers the maximum target strength was -35.13 dB at $-13.35^{\circ}$ on a tilted angle. 2. The relationship between fork length(L, cm) and averaged target strength(TS, dB) was expressed as follows; TS=23. 76log (L) -73.45 (r=0.47) TS=20log(L) -67.35 From this result, the conversion coefficient was -73.45 dB and 6.1 dB lower than the coefficient -67.35 dB where the value of the slope of the regression equation is forced to be 20. 3. Averaged target strength and a length conversion coefficient derived from a target strength histogram for 13 large yellow croakers of mean length 25.59 cm were -41.23 dB, -69.72 dB, respectively. 4. In the range of $$2;{\ll} L (fish length /{\lambda}(wave length);{\ll}40$$, the prediction of the averaged target strength by the KRM model increased gradually with the increasing of $L/{\lambda}$ and was lower than the measured target strength.
