There have been always some difficulties in target setting and conditioning of acoustic performances of the Korean traditional music hall due mainly to the lack of the information on the sound radiation characteristics of Korean musical sources. In this study, the radiation characteristics of four typical Korean traditional musical sources were investigated in precision and their usage was demonstrated: The selected musical sources were Gayageum (string), Daegeum (woodwind), Jango (drum), and Pansori Chang (vocal performance). Each sound source was located at the center of a semi-anechoic chamber and the directivity was determined by the measured sound pressure levels in every 10° angular position, for both vertical and horizontal directions. The directivity pattern of Gayageum varies from a uniform to a complex pattern having many side lobes with the increase of frequency. The main radiation of Daegeum is toward the upward direction. The directivity pattern of Jango is clearly a side-oriented one and the left direction intensity is sharper than its right side at low frequencies. For the Chang, the directivity pattern change from a uniform pattern to a frontally directed one as the frequency goes high. Measured directional and spectral characteristics of traditional Korean music sources were implemented into the computation of architectural acoustic measures for the Busan National Korean Traditional Music Hall which is under construction. Parameters such as RT, SPL, C80, IE, STI were calculated at two receiver positions by using a ray tracing technique. Significant differences in the acoustic measures at receiver positions were observed between the results in using the omni-directional source and the directional one. It is thought that the suggested source data and design method can be used as a basic reference in the future acoustic design of performance halls for the Korean traditional music.

In this paper, radiation characteristics of the beating sound are analytically investigated on a slightly asymmetric cylindrical shell. The cylindrical shell isan efficient model to consider the beat characteristics of Korean bells. Slight asymmetry in Korean bells makes mode pair which has close frequency components and the interaction of each mode pair produces beating sound. Based on the analytical model, the radiated sound field is determined. Using the sound beat map, the beating sound vs. direction and distance is investigated. Finally, results of the theoretical method are compared with those of the boundary element method to verify the validity.

The experimental and analytical study was conducted to determine the noise transmission characteristics of acoustically loaded steel plate of rectangular enclosure and to investigate the sound radiation characteristics through out the enclosure. The vibrations of acoustically loaded plate give rise to sound radiations and generate the reverberant space that the sound field exists very close to a vibrating plate. Acoustic transmission loss is measured from the incident intensity into the plate and the transmitted intensity through out the plate. Sound radiation patterns are measured from both acoustic intensity technique and surface intensity technique. Those resultant patterns and vibrational modes are vital in understanding the relations between vibration and noise in the near field out of vibrating plate.

초음파 변환기의 음향 특성 평가항목으로는 주파수에 따른 출력특성, 입력 전압에 대한 출력의 선형성(방사컨덕턴스), 방사음장의 지향성 및 대칭성 등을 들 수 있다. 평면 주사기법은 교정된 하이드로폰을 이용하여, 초음파 변환기에서 방사된 음파가 형성하는 음장의 분포를 측정하는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 이들을 측정할 수 있는 장치로 DC servo모터를 장착한 3 축 이송 장치와 가로 400 mm, 세로 800 mm, 높이 400 m를 갖는 수조를 제작하고 제어프로그램을 개발하여 상온의 증류수에 형성된 초음파 음장의 공간 분포를 실험하여, 이론적 예측값과 비교하였다.

This is the first of two companion papers which suggests the algorithm of the combined Finite Element Method and Infinite Element Method for the analysis of the axi-symmetric acoustic transducer in the open boundary. Using the algorithm, the numerical analysis for the transducer radiation impedance, directivity, and coupling effect between transducer elements are also conducted. In the second paper, the wideband array transducer is designed and its acoustic characteristics are examined on the basis of the results of the first paper.

개영역(open boundary) 내의 변환기에 대한 음장 특성은 경계 조건이 좌표계와 정합되는 특수한 경우 헤름홀쯔 방정식풀이로 그렇지 않은 복잡한 형태의 음장에 대해서는 경계적분법이나 근사해법으로 얻어진다. 그러나 최근 이러한 문제들은 발달된 컴퓨터의 계산능력으로 유한요소법이나 경계요소법을 이용한 수치해법으로 해결되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경계조건 변화에 따른 원통형 압전변환기의 방사임피던스 및 지향특성을 유한요소법 및 하이브리드형 무한요소법을 이용하여 구하고 기존의 해석적 결과와 비교하여 수중용 변환기 제작의 설계에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

트랜스듀서의 삽입손실과 임펄스 응답특성 등을 정확히 해석하기 위해서는 대상 주파수 대역에 대한 특성을 알아야한다. 방사임피던스는 주파수의 함수이기 때문에 이러한 특성을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정방형 방사면을 가지는 트랜스듀서 이용하여, 무한배플에서의 방사임피던스를 고려한 삽입손실을 이론적으로 계산하고 무한배플로 근사할 수 있는 모델을 제작하고, 이를 실험으로 확인한 결과 좋은 일치를 보이고 있어 본 연구에서 제안한 해석법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

Uniformity in transducer performance is a must-have to ensure the reliable acoustic performance of a tile projector, used for active echo reduction. However, practical limitations imposed by variations in material properties and fabrication errors lead to performance variations among unit transducers, which could degrade the radiation characteristics (transmitting voltage response and directivity) of the tile projector and ultimately the echo reduction performance. In this paper we present a method to minimize these adverse effects via an appropriate placement of unit transducers within the tile projector. To this end, we perform a series of coupled acoustic-piezoelectric simulations, assuming a group of 36 unit transducers having 6 dB variations in transmitting voltage response, to analyze and compare the radiation characteristics of tile projectors under different transducer placement schemes.

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.
