This paper presents a stochastic convergence analysis of LMS algorithm and VS-LMS algorithm for IIR filters using equation error formulation. Under the assumption that the signal is white Gaussian, theoretical equations that characterize the mean and mean-squared behaviors of the algorithms are derived. Computer simulation results show fairly good agreements between the theoretical and the empirical behaviors of the algorithms.

Generally we are used to apply waveform coding method obtaining the high quality synthesized speech. But we have to solve the problems, memory capacity and pitch alteration, for applying the waveform coding method to speech synthesis by rule. The former problem is conquered by improving the integrated semiconductor technology, but the latter problem remains. In this paper, we compare the methods that have proposed for pitch alteration in our laboratory until now. These methods are not change properties of vocal tract formants and only altered the pitch halving method, 1.14% for cepstrum analysis method, and 2.36% for hamonics compensated with the phase method.

본 연구는 경편성물의 특성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 구조변수인 조직, 편환의 계폐여부, 가이드바의 상호 움직임 방향에 따른 소리특성과 생리적 반응 사이의 관계를 파악함으로써 총합적 감성소재 설계를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 직물소리발생장치를 이용하여 7가지의 경편성물에 대한 마찰음을 녹음한 후, 이를 마찰음이 유발하는 생리반응을 측정하여 slow alpha파, fast beta파, ECG R-R, RESP, HF/LF, SCL, PV등을 분석하였다. 조직에 따라서는 LPT, Loundness(Z), Roughness(Z)와 Fluctuation strength(Z) 가장 큰 Sharkskin에서 fast beta파, ECG R-R, RESP는 증가하였으며 slow alpha파, PV, HF/LF는 감소하였다. 편환의 개폐여부에서는 폐환보다는 개환에서 Loudness(Z), Sharpness(Z), Fluctuation strength(Z)가 증가하였으며 RESP는 증가하고 HF/LF는 감소하여 개환이 더 불쾌한 감성을 유발하였다. 가이드바의 상호 움직임 방향은 counter보다는 parallel에서 slow alpha의 변화량이 감소하고 fast beta의 변화량이 증가하여 counter보다는 parallel이 더 불쾌한 감성을 유발하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 편성물의 음향특성 중 ΔL, Δf 와 Roughness(Z), Fluctuation Strength(Z)가 생리반응을 예측하는 중요한 요인으로써 나타났다.

Speech synthesis coding is classified into three categories: waveform coding, source coding and hybrid coding. To obtain the synthetic speech with high quality, the synthesis by waveform coding is desired. However, it is difficult to apply waveform coding to synthesis by syllable or phoneme unit, because it does not divide the speech into excitation and formant component. Thus it is required to alter the excitation in waveform coding for applying waveform coding to synthesis by rule. In this paper we propose a new pitch alteration method that minimizes the spectrum distortion by using the behavior of cepstrum. This method splits the spectrum of speech signal into excitation spectrum and formant spectrum and transforms the excitation spectrum into cepstrum domain. The pitch of excitation cepstrum is altered by zero insertion or zero deletion and the pitch altered spectrum is reconstructed in spectrum domain. As a result of performance test, the average spectrum distortion was below 2.29%.

본 논문에서는 시간-주파수 혼성 영역 피치 검출법을 제안하였다. 음성신호를 주파수 영역으로 변환하고 주파수 영역에서 위상 성분을 조절하여 시간영역으로 역변환 함으로써 피치 피크가 최대가 되도록 하여 용이한 피치검출이 가능하였다. 또한 처리시간을 단축하기 위하여 FFT와 IFFT의 비트 재정렬을 생략하여 처리할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 성능 측정 결과 기존의 켑스트럼 검출법에 비하여 검출성능은 우수하면서도 처리시간은 $84.8\%$로 단축됨을 알 수 있었다.

Hydrophone system has necessarily additional structures to resist installation and operation for military usage. In this paper, we assume that the hydrophone is a rigid circular cylinder and the neighborhood structure is a perfect reflector. Scattering fields by hydrophone and neighborhood structure are investigated to use a boundary element analysis program, SYSNOISE, which has an acoustic analysis capability. The pressure fields around circular cylinder with respect to the angle are evaluated.

This study made an analysis of the characteristics of vibration & tone color of the piano strings on which a concentrated mass was set to give variety of different variations to the gamut. Theoretical analyses in this study were based on discrete and continuous system, of which the former was transformed into a multi-degree of freedom system by dividing into a number of small parts, while the latter utilized mode summation and Laplace transformation methods. And experiments were carried out with setting concentrated masses on upright piano string.

진동시험 동안 구조물은 진동시험기로부터 높은 진동에너지를 받게 되는데 공급되는 에너지를 시험물에 전달하기 위해서는 시험물에 따라 다양한 종류의 진동시험치구가 필요하게 된다. 이중에서 T-형상 진동시험치구는 진동시험축에 대해 3방향으로 시험물을 설치할 수 있고, 형상이 간단하며, 또한 값이 저렴하므로 많은 설계자들은 T-형상 치구를 설계하여 사용한다. 그러나 이 치구는 수직판이 어떤 주파수에서 평판처럼 공진현상을 일으키기 때문에 동역학적으로 설계하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 진동시험치구의 기능을 향상시키기 위해 모우드 시험(Model Testing)기법을 사용하는 방법과 시험결과를 근거로 설계변경을 위해 수직보강판, 수평보강판, 그리고 천연 고무패드를 사용하여 이것들이 치구의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 기술하며 그 결과를 치구설계 때 응용 가능하도록 한다.

Many of steel structures having little internal damping consist of stiffened plates. In case that viscoelastic materials are adhered to the stiffened plates for the reduction of structure-borne noise, their effects are varied by the adhered position and dynamic characteristics of the structures as well as their material properties and adhered amount. In this paper, sound reduction effects of viscoelastic materials partially adhered to the different positions of a stiffened steel plate have been investigated by the measurement of vibratory velocity and sound intensity. The results show that optimal adherent positions of viscoelastic materials to reduce sound radiation power are the loop areas of modes.

Underwater acoustic transducers are widely used for SONAR application, whose important design parameters are shapes. materials, dimensions and supporting structures. Practical design method of transducers consists of manufacturing, experiments and modifications so that it requires much time and expenses. In this study, an analytical method was developed for the Tonpilz type transducers using the commercial finite element analysis code ATILA which can solve the electro-mechanical coupling problems. A finite element model was established including the transducer elements such as ceramic stack, head mass, tail mass, tensile bolt, and molding layers. The proposed model was verified and modified by comparing the in-air and in-water test results of prototypes. The developed analysis method will be effectively used for the sensitivity analysis of design parameters in transducer design process.
