In the present study, a tunnel type soundproof wall with partial opening is proposed to reduce the environmental noise caused by railway vehicles traveling on bridges, which affects residents of high-rise apartment buildings; the study also attempts to minimize load due to wind and the weight of the wall. Applying the principles of computational fluid dynamics and structural mechanics, and the ray tracing method, a reduction in noise as well as of the overall weight of the soundproof walls is estimated. Analysis results show that the proposed soundproof wall with a partial opening weighs less, while reducing the wind loading by up to 30%. To prevent direct propagation of sound through openings in the wall, an acoustic louver, which is a type of silencer, could be considered for the opening. In order to achieve a similar noise effect with existing insulation material, the fluid flow and the insulation effect of the acoustic louver are analyzed. As the considered opening is in the range of 30~40% of the total length of the soundproof wall, the noise effect and wind load are reduced by 10dB and 25% respectively. Consequently, opening some part of tunnel type soundproof walls and installing louvers on the wall openings can have the effects of weight-reduction and reduced wind load. If a partial opening is applied with proper sound material application, a gain of an additional 5~10dB of noise reduction can be achieved.

실내 바닥슬래브의 휨진동에 의한 음향방사문제에 대하여 유한요소법을 적용하여 검토하였다. 단순한 형상의 판이 휨진동하여 자유공간에 음을 방사하는 문제에 대해서는 이론적인 해를 구할 수 있으나, 임의형상의 판이 휨진동하여 실내에 음을 방사하는 문제에 대해서는 검토되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와같은 문제를 단순화한 해석법으로서 먼저 유한요소법을 이용하여 판의 휨진동에 대한 고유모드의 상대변위를 구하고, 다음 상대변위를 진동속도로 변환한 결과를 입력조건으로 하여 유한요소법에 의한 3차원 음장해석을 하였다. 그 결과 실내 바닥슬래브의 휨진동에 의한 음향방사파워는 슬래브의 진동모드, 실내음향모드 및 벽흡음율 등의 조건에 따라 크게 변화된다는 것을 확인하였다.

This preliminary study is about the application of the compound source to the active noise barrier system as control sources. A compound source is composed of two monopole sources but having opposite phase. However, both monopole sources in one compound source are not independently controlled. The source strength of monopole source close to the noise source is proportional to the other one. Therefore, the cost for the hardware system is cheaper than usual system but known to possibly having a similar performance in generating anti-noise acoustic field. In this study, using a simple active noise barrier system model having a non-reflective floor, the effectiveness of the system with compound sources is investigated through computer simulations and shows 30~40 % performance improvement of noise reduction.

Fluid loading of a vibrating cylindrical shell has influence on natural frequencies and vibration magnitudes of the shell and the acoustic pressure of fluid. The vibroacoustics of fluid-filled cylindrical shells need the coupled solution of Helmholtz equation and governing equation of a cylindrical shell with boundary conditions. This paper proposed the wall impedance of fluid-filled axisymmetric cylindrical shells, focusing on the inner fluid/shell interaction. To propose the impedance, shell displacements used the linear combination of in vacuo shell modes. Acoustic pressure prediction of fluid used Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation with Green's function of the plane mode. For the demonstration of the proposed results, numerical applications on mufflers were conducted.

본 논문에서는 다중 wedge와 방음벽에 의한 음파의 회절을 예측하는 공식을 다루었으며 BEM이나 다른 측정결과와 비교하여 정확성을 확인하였다. 여러 가지 경우의 회절경로가 있을 때 가장 적은 수의 회절경로를 따라 전파하는 음파가 가장 중요한 성분이며 회절수가 커질수록 크기는 줄어든다.

벽면 근처에 가까이 위치하는 회전와류쌍을 음원으로 갖는 비정상 유동장에서 벽면이 음장에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 이차원 음장 수치해석을 시도하였다. 비압축성 유동장에 대한 비정상 수력정보를 기반으로 오일러식에서 교란 압축성 소음항을 도출하였다. 원거리 자유 경계면은 비반사 경계조건을 이용하였으며, 벽면에서는 벽면 효과를 음향장에 고려하였다. 자유흐름장에 놓인 와류쌍이 대칭인 나선팔을 갖는 반면에, 벽면이 있는 경우엔 음파가 전달되는 경로를 따라 방향성이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 벽면이 존재하는 경우에 비정상 수력정보를 이용하여 근거리와 원거리 음장을 동시에 수행할 수 있음을 알아내었다.

Noise barriers are widely used to reduce the sound level propagating from highways, railways or factories to residential areas. The reduced noise level at a receiver point is then determined by the diffracted waves around the edge of the barrier as well as by the transmitted waves through the barrier. 1'or proper usage, many studies either theoretical or experimental have been made with the objective of precisely Predicting the acoustic field and improving the noise attenuating properties of barriers. In this study. a simple scattering model. a line acoustic source scattered by an infinite cylinder, is introduced to simply Investigate the sound attenuation efficiency of a sound-resonating barrier. From this model study, it is observed that the sound-resonating harrier can be used as a good sound-shielding element especially for the pure-tone noise generated from the transformer. Large sound-attenuation is achieved by applying the sound-resonating barrier to the large transformers in a substation.

This study is concerned with the acoustic characteristics for recently developed interference-type noise barrier (T-shaped). To modify the previous shape more conveniently the T-shaped noise barrier with tuning partitions was examined in detail by varying the number and the hight of tuning partitions. The 2-D boundary element method(BEM) analysis were compared with the experimental results of 1/10 reduced scale model.

Acoustic resonance characteristics were analyzed and their effect on the refrigerating capability were experimentally verified on a fabricated Hofler-type thermoacoustic refrigerating system. Factors governing the overall resonance are the resonator composed of a cavity and two pipes, the loudspeaker driving the resonator, and rear side impedance characteristics of speaker housing. All these are coupled with electric constants of the speaker to exhibit electric resonance. Also the 'wall-effect' within the resonator causes attenuation to reduce the sharpness of the resonance. Analysis and experiments showed housing and the wall-effect of the resonator reduce the sharpness of resonance. Maintaining the accuracy of the resonance is, therefore, very important for efficient refrigeration.
