본 연구에서는 축대칭 셸의 고유모우드에 의하여 발생하는 음향의 방사특성을 유한요소법으로 구하고 실험을 수행하여 그 타당성을 검토하였다.축대칭 셸에서 원 주방향으로의 압력분포를 가정하여 2차원 문제로 단순화시키고 거리가 무한대인 영역 은 음향 임피던스 (acoustic impedance)를 이용하여 대처함으로써 축대칭 셸의 고유모 우드에 의하여 발생하는 음향세기와 방사효율을 구하였다. 각각의 고유모우드에 의 하여 방사되는 에너지는 서로 독립적이므로 강제진동에 의한 음향의 방사효율은 고유 모우드에 의한 방사효율의 가중치에 의한 평균(weighted average)을 취함으로써 구할 수 있다.

The interaction between a vibrating structure and a surrounding acoustic medium determines the acoustic power propagating into the far-field. A straightforward method to reduce the radiated power is to reduce the vibration of the structure. However it is more efficient to control the modes of the structure separately since each vibration mode of the structure has different radiation efficiency. An efficient method to reduce the sound radiation in the low frequency region is proposed by reducing the radiation efficiency of the structure. Numerical simulations are carried out for a simply-supported beam in which the feed-forward control is applied to reduce the volume velocity of each structural mode. This method is found to be very efficient in reducing low frequency sound radiation.

Underwater noise pollution has a significant impact on the marine environment. This study proposed a simple approach to estimate the acoustic radiation efficiency of structures with air bubble layers. The method considered the insertion loss caused by the air bubble layer through post-processing of numerical results, assuming that insertion loss is equivalent to attenuation as demonstrated by previous studies. The proposed approach was validated by comparing it with a fully coupled analysis for plate structure models. The commercial finite element program COMSOL Multiphysics was used for the acoustic-structure interaction analysis, and the acoustic characteristics of air bubble layer for the fully coupled analysis was simulated by on the Commander and Prosperetti theory. The trends indicated good agreement between the simple approach and the fully coupled analysis in terms of radiation efficiency. It is confirmed that the proposed method is providing insight into the principal mechanism of underwater noise reduction for the bubble layer on the wedge-shaped structure.

평면 배열형 소나 센서에서는 트랜스듀서 상호간의 간섭효과들이 음을 방사하는 각각의 트랜스듀서 및 평면 배열의 빔패턴에 영향을 주게된다. 따라서 음향 방사출력의 계산은 소나용 트랜스듀서의 성능및 효율을 평가하는데 필수적이다. 음향 방사출력을 예측하기 위하여 무한 강성 배플에 고정된 수개의 트랜스듀서를 이론해석의 대상으로 설정하였다. 각 트랜스듀서는 자기방사 임피던스 및 상호방사 임피던스로 구성되어 있으며 이것의 총 방사 임피던스 및 음향반사 출력의 추출은 등가 전기회로 모델을 이용하였다. 이론및 수치해석의 결과에 근거하여 음향방사 출력은 각 트랜스듀서 상호간의 간섭의 양에 의존함을 보였으며 상호간섭에 의한 음향출력 손실은 25.05%에서 최고 51.52%정도임을 확인하였다.

Planar array of acoustic transducer is normally used in a sonar system. Acoustic radiation makes beam pattern in underwater uses. The main source of the beam pattern is due to the transducer array. Therefore, estimation of the acoustic radiated power is necessary to predict the performance and efficiency of the transducer. As an example of the acoustic radiation power, nine acoustic transducers mounted to a rigid infinite baffle are considered in a theoretical model. Each piston's acoustic radiation consists of self- and mutual-radiation impedances. Total radiation impedances and acoustic radiation power of the transducers are extracted using on the theory of an equivalent electric circuit. The theoretical results reveal that acoustic radiation power of the transducer depends on the mutual coupling effects.

The definition of the radiation efficiency is very important to estimated underwater radiated noise of a ship. Considering the structure of the ship, it can be found that the hull of a ship consists of a lot of plates supporting by longitudinal and transverse stiffener. Therefore, various modes of the hull vibration occur related to the combination of these plates including stiffeners. In this paper, the method to define the radiation efficiency is suggested considering the vibration mode of the hull based on Uchida's experimental equation of the radiation efficiency. The suggested method is verified by the experiments with various kinds of naval vessels.

Underwater radiated noise is an important characteristic in the naval weapon systems. It is difficult to measure the radiation efficiency of underwater vehicle, such as UUV(unmanned underwater vehicle) and underwater weapons in real operation environment. In this study, acoustic radiation efficiency of a circular cylindrical structure is measured in the laboratory-water tank. The radiation efficiency is compared with the numerical results and it is found that they are in a good agreement. Therefore, the measurement method can be applied effectively for predicting the underwater radiation noise and effectiveness of radiation reduction means.

This article investigates the effects of geometric configuration on the vibro-acoustic characteristics of in-plane vibration of a thick annular disc. Disc thickness and outer radius for a given inner radius are selected as independent variables having reasonable ranges. Variations in structural eigensolutions for radial modes are investigated using pre-developed analytical method. Based on these data, far-field sound pressure distributions due to the modal vibrations for a given geometry are also calculated using an analytical solution. Modal sound powers and radiation efficiencies are calculated from the far-field sound pressure distributions and vibratory velocity distributions on the radial surfaces. Based on the results explained above, the geometric configuration that minimizes modal sound radiations in a given frequency range is determined. Finally sound power and radiation efficiency spectra for a unit harmonic force from the selected geometric configuration are obtained from structural and acoustic modal data using the modal expansion technique. Multi-modal sound radiations of the optimized disc that are obtained using proposed analytical methods are confirmed with numerical results. Using the procedure introduced in this article, sound radiation due to in-plane modes within a specific frequency range can be minimized by the disc geometry modifications in a comprehensive and convenient manner.
