A high-intensity ultrasound wave generates acoustic streaming and acoustic radiation forces when propagating through a medium. An acoustic radiation force generated in a three-dimensional space can produce a solid tactile sensation, delivering spatial information directly to the human skin. We placed 154 ultrasound transmit elements with a frequency of 40 kHz on a concave circular dish, and generated an acoustic radiation force at the focal point by transmitting the ultrasound wave. To feel the tactile sensation better, the transmit elements were excited by sine waves whose amplitude was modulated by a 60 Hz square wave. As an application of ultrasonic tactile sensing, a region where tactile sense is formed in the air is used as an indicator for the position of the hand. We confirmed the utility of ultrasonic tactile feedback by implementing a system that provides the number of fingers to a machine by receiving the shape of the hand at the focal point where the tactile sense is detected.

Considering biological safety, it is very important to measure acoustic power from ultrasonic array probe for diagnostic ultrasound imaging applications. In this paper, to measure acoustic power from each element on array probe for ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, we reconstruct and automate the acoustic power measurement system. The acoustic power from linear, phased and curved array were measured and analyzed. As a result of measurement, the effects caused by directivity of sound beam from curved array were founded. To remove these effects, we developed and applied the correction model. The proposed system is useful to evaluate characteristics of the acoustical output power of array probe.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acoustic radiation force on the standing wave acoustic levitation phenomenon, which is the levitation of small objects near the pressure node of the standing wave, using the Bernoulli principle. The source and scheme of the acoustic radiation force, which is the cause of the levitation, are conceptually explained through comparison with the graph of the acoustic radiation force versus the distance from the transducer. A series of experiments supporting this explanation was performed with a BLT(Bolt-clamped Langevin Type) ultrasonic transducer to confirm that the objects are floating near the pressure nodes and that it satisfies the condition for the standing wave formation when the object is levitating. Furthermore, the vertical alignment of floating objects, which is a characteristic of standing wave acoustic levitation phenomenon, could be explained.

초음파 변환기의 방사 컨덕턴스를 결정하기 위해서는 변환기로부터 방사된 음향파워와 입력전압의 정밀측정을 요구하게 된다. 음\ulcorner파워는 초음파를 거의 완전 반사시킬 수 있는 표적을 사용하여 변환기로부터 방사된 음압에 의해 표적에 가해진 힘을 수동맞저울과 레이저 간섭계로 측정하여 구하였으며, 입력전압을 열 변환기와 전압계를 한 시스템으로 하여 정밀 측정하였다. 방사 컨덕턴스의 최대 측정오차는 $\pm$4% 이내로 평가되었다.

The precise measurement of ultrasonic power is important to the qualify assurance and the safety of medical ultrasonic equipments In the Present work, a brier theory was introduced to determine the ultrasonic Power from the time valving balance-indication due to the radiation force acting on an absorbing target and/or other causes such as buoyancy during the repetition of on/off behavior of ultrasonic irradiation. The developed automated system measuring the ultrasonic power was described in detail with the precise mechanical alignment tool , the electric signal generation network, the control and measurement network and the appropriate procedure. The ultrasonic power measured by the developed system was compared to the reference data calibrated by the other national metrology institute at 1 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 15 MHz over the range 10 mW to 10 W. Their relative differences are within $5\%$.

자동차의 경음기는 보행자나 다른 차량에게 경고를 보내기 위해 필요한 장치로 너무 작은 소리를 내는 경우에는 경고를 전달할 수 없는 문제점이 생기고, 너무 큰 소리를 내는 경우에는 소음피해를 주게 된다. 경음기의 소리 크기 뿐만 아니라 음색 또한 무시할 수 없는 중요한 인자라 할 수 있는데 이것은 경고음에 대한 사람의 반응에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 자동차에 대한 고객들의 감성적인 평가에 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 자동차용 디스크 타입 경음기의 특징을 이해하기 위해 진동 및 음향특성에 관한 실험을 수행하였고, 이를 기반으로 전자기적, 기계적인 힘의 상호관계를 바탕으로 FEM, BEM 등의 방법으로 해석하였으며, 경음기의 소음 진동 특성을 시뮬레이션하였다. 이를 바탕으로 경음기의 형상 인자와 경음기의 소음 특성간의 관계를 해석하여 진동판과 방사판의 형상에 따른 주파수 특성관계를 도출하였다.

The detemination of sound pressure radiated from peoriodic plate structures is fundamental in the estimation of noise levels in aircraft fuselages and ship hull structures. As a robust approach to this problem, here a very general and comprehensive analytical model for predicting the sound radiated by a vibrating plate stiffened by periodically spaced orthogonal symmetric beams subjected to a sinusoidally time varying point load is developed. The plate is assumed to be infinite in extent, and the beams are considered to exert both line force and moment reactions on it. Structural damping is included in both plate and beam materials. A space harmonic series representation of the spatial variables is used in conjunction with the Fourier transform to find the sound pressure in terms of harmonic coefficients. From this theoretical model. the sound pressure levels on axis in a semi-infinite fluid (water) bounded by the plate with the variation in the locations of an external time harmonic point force on the plate can be calculated efficiently using three numerical tools such as the Gauss-Jordan method, the LU decomposition method and the IMSL numerical package.

The determination of sound pressure radiated from periodic plate structures is fundamental in the estimation of noise level in aircraft fuselages or ship hull structures. As a robust approach to this problem, here a very general and comprehensive analytical model is developed for predicting the sound radiated by a vibrating plate stiffened by periodically spaced orthogonal symmetrical beams subjected to a sinusoidally time varying point load. In this these, we experiment with the numerical analysis using the space harmonic series and the SYSNOISE for measuring the vibration mode and character of response caused by sound radiation with adding the harmonic point force in the thin isotropic plate supported by the rectangular lattice reinforcement. We used the reinforcements, beams of open type section like the style of 'ㄷ' letter; the space of the beams were chosen to be 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m. We studied the behavior of sound pressure levels, analysis of vibration mode between support points, connection between frequency function and sound pressure levels, and connection between position function and sound pressure levels.

A theoretical models has been prepared which describes the noise generated by tire/road interaction for the tire structure-borne sound analysis. The model begin with a set of thin shell equations describing the motion of the belt of a radial ply tire, as drived by Bohm('mechanisms of the belted tire', Igeniur-Archiv, XXXV, 1966). Structural quantities required for these equations are derived from material properties of the tire. The rolling shape of a tire is computed from the steady-state limit of these equations. Vibrational response of the tire is treated by the full dependent shell equations. The force input at the tire/road interface is calculated on the basis of tread geometry and distribution of contact patch pressure. Radiation of noise is calculated by a simpson integral. Using the programs, the effect on noise of various tire design variations is computed and discussed. Trends which lead to quiet tire design are identified.
