In this paper integral equations are derived and simulated numerically for the mutual radiation impedance of an acoustic transducer in a Plane array. It is assumed that the pistons are mounted in the rigid infinite baffle. The mutual radiation impedance is separated into resistance and reactance and plotted as a function of ka and kd. Mutual radiation resistance is decreased and perturbed according to increase of ka. Mutual radiation reactance is decreased along to increase of ka. Mutual impedance is decreased when kd is increased. However, when ka is 6, 13, and 19 the interaction effect is decayed. When the relative piston position of the two pistons is 45 degree, the amount of interaction becomes minimized.

Conductance and susceptance of the self-radiation impedance in a rectangular acoustic sensor without baffle are measured experimentally. Finite polyurethane window is mounted at the end of the acoustic sensor. The sensor radiation impedance is cauculated using the equivalent electric circuit. Using the Levine's integral equations of a rectangular piston mounted to the rigid infinite baffle, radiation resistance and reactance were simulated numerically. Numerical and experimental results are compared to each other.

Self-sensing on micro-failure, dispersion degree and relating properties, of carbon nanotube(CNT)/epoxy composites, were investigated using wettability, electro-micromechanical technique with acoustic emission(AE). Specimens were prepared from neat epoxy as well as composites with untreated and acid-treated CNT. Degree of dispersion was evaluated comparatively by measuring volumetric electrical resistivity and its standard deviation. Apparent modulus containing the stress transfer was higher for acid-treated CNT composite than for the untreated case. Applied cyclic loading responded well for a single carbon fiber/CNT-epoxy composite by the change in contact resistivity. The interfacial shear strength between a single carbon fiber and CNT-epoxy, determined in a fiber pullout test, was lower than that between a single carbon fiber and neat epoxy. Regarding on micro-damage sensing using electrical resistivity measurement with AE, the stepwise increment in electrical resistivity was observed for a single carbon fiber/CNT -epoxy composite. On the other hand, electrical resistivity increased infinitely right after the first carbon fiber breaks for a single carbon fiber/neat epoxy composite. The occurrence of AE events of added CNT composites was much higher than the neat epoxy case, due to micro failure at the interfaces by added CNTs.

The in-duct acoustical sources of fluid machines are often characterized by the source impedance and strength using the linear time-invariant model. However, negative resistances, which are physically unreasonable, have been found throughout various measurements of the source properties in IC-engines and compressors. In this paper, the effects of the time-varying nature of fluid machines on the source characteristics are studied analytically. For this purpose, the simple fluid machine consisting of a reciprocating piston and an exhaust is considered as representing a typical periodic, time-varying system and the equivalent circuits are analyzed. Simulated measurements using the analytic solutions show that the time-varying nature in the actual sources is one of the main causes of the negative source resistances. It is also found that, for the small magnitude of the time-varying component, the source radiates large acoustic power if the piston operates at twice the natural frequency of the static system. or integral submultiples of that rate.

내연기관의 흡기 소음을 줄이기 위한 효과적인 소음 제어 요소로서 다공형 직조관(porous woven hose)이 널리 사용된다. 직조관이 사용된 흡기계의 음향 특성을 예측하기 위해서는 직조관의 임피던스(acoustic wall impedance)에 대한 정보를 알아야 한다. 그러나, 높은 저항(resistance), 두께, 곡률, 비균질성 등의 특수한 음향학적/구조적 특성 때문에 직조관의 임 피던스를 정확하게 측정하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 소음기의 전달손실(transmission loss)을 측정하는데 널리 사용되는 간단한 측정장치를 이용하여 직조관의 임피던스를 측정하였다. 측정된 임피던스에 대해 직조상태를 나타내는 인자와 주파수를 독립 변수로 사용하여 curve-fitting을 수행하여, 직조상태가 다른 직조관의 임피던스를 예측하였다. 이렇게 예측된 임피던스로부터 실제 사용되는 범위 내에서 임의의 길이를 가지는, 직조상태가 다른 직조관의 전달 손실을 예측하였고, 측정된 전달손실과 비교하여, 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 직조관의 음향 특성을 파악하고, 직조관이 사용된 자동차 흡기계의 음향성능을 예측하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Interfacial durability and electrical properties of CNT, ITO or xGnP coated PVDF nanocomposites were investigated for acoustic actuator applications. The xGnP coated PVDF nanocomposite exhibited better electrical conductivity than CNT and ITO case due to the unique electrical property of xGnP, and this nanocomposite also showed good sound characteristics. Interfacial adhesion durability between either neat CNT or plasma treated CNT and plasma treated PVDF were measured by static contact angle, surface energy, work of adhesion, and spreading coefficient tests. The optimum acoustic actuation performance of xGnP coated PVDF nanocomposite was measured using sound level meter with changing radius of curvature and coating conditions. As compared to CNT and ITO, the xGnP was known as more appropriate acoustic actuator due to the characteristic electrical property. It is the most appropriate condition when the radius of curvature is 15 degree. Although sound characteristics were different with various coating thicknesses, it is possible to manufacture transparent actuator with good sound quality.

In the design of electro acoustic transducer, power factor improvement circuit is more required rather than impedance matching if the driving power amplifier has little inner resistance. Many research results have been focused on the power matching circuit designing for transferring maximum power in the wideband. There are few results in the designing study on the power factor improvement for the wide band electro acoustic transducer. In this paper, we propose a new design method on the power factor improvement for the wide band electro acoustic transducer. The proposed method consists of two steps, the chebyschev matching method and the constrained optimization, respectively.

하천에서 식생은 하도내 흐름저항과 항력을 증가시켜 유속과 유사이동을 감소시킨다. 유속의 감소로 인해 유사가 퇴적되어 사주 발생이 증가하며 이는 하도 지형변화의 중요한 요인이 된다. 하천내 식생은 하천생물의 서식과 밀접한 관련이 있는 물리적인 서식환경을 변화시키게 된다. 이러한 물리적인 서식환경 변화는 수중음향으로 표현되는 하천의 음환경(Soundscape) 변화로 연결된다. 본 연구는 하천 식생대에서의 수중 음향변화를 식생유무, 수온, 수심에 따라 분석하고 수리학적 특성과의 상관관계를 파악하고자 한다. 실규모 하천 수로에 식생 38 주/$m^2$를 식재하고 1 m정도 성장시킨 후 식생을 완전 침수시켜 $3.2m^3/s$의 유량을 공급하여 유속의 변화와 수중음향을 측정하였다. 오후시간대와 새벽시간대를 이용하여 수온이 다른 조건에서 측정하였고, 수심은 표면 3 cm, 40 cm, 80 cm 깊이에서 각각 측정하였다. 측정지점은 식생구간의 상류지점(A), 식생구간(B), 식생구간의 하류지점(C) 세 곳을 선정하였고, 유속은 micro-ADV, 수중 음향은 Hydrophone을 사용하여 5분간 측정하였다. 측정 주파수 spectrum은 1/3 Octave band로 처리하여 음압을 비교분석하였다. 주파수에 따른 음압을 분석한 결과 측정지점에 관계없이 주로 125 Hz, 315 Hz에서 높게 나타났다. 수심에 따른 음향을 분석한 결과 식생이 없는 상류(A)지점에서는 수중음향의 차이가 크게 나타났으며, 식생지점(B)과 식생이 없는 하류(C)지점에서는 수중음향이 유사하게 나타났다. 이는 식생에 의한 유속의 저하로 인해 흐름이 안정화되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다. 수온에 따라서는 식생구간(B)과 하류(C)지점에서 대체로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 상류(A)지점에서는 수온이 높을 때 음압이 더 크게 나타났다. 이는 온도가 높을수록 소리의 전달속도가 더 빨라지기 때문으로 판단된다. 이처럼 식생의 유무와 수심, 온도에 따라 하천의 수리학적 특성이 달라지고 이에 따른 수중음향도 달라지므로 하천의 물리적 서식환경을 평가하기 위한 인자로 수중음향을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In order to develop an ultrasonic evaluation method for properties degradation of high temperature materials, a number of Cr-Mo-V steel samples were heat-treated and their damage mechanism was examined. Ultrasonic parameters such as velocity, attenuation, and more recently developed nonlinear acoustic parameter were measured. The nonlinear acoustic parameter was found to be most sensitive to material degradation mainly attributed to the precipitation of impurities in grain boundaries. When compared to the electrical resistivity results, the nonlinear parameters showed similar behavior. There existed a relatively good correlation between the nonlinear parameter and the fracture appearance transition temperature (FATT) obtained by Charpy V-notch impact test. Based on the relationship between the FATT and the fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$), correlation between the nonlinear parameter and $K_{IC}$ was established.
