소음저감 설계기술은 제품의 경쟁력 향상을 위해 일반인이 쉽게 접근할 수 잇는 가전제품, 자동차, 항공기 분야 등에서 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으며, 최근 소음환경 규제가 강화되고 대형기계의 설치 위치가 주거지역과 가까워지므로 산업용 기계설비의 소음제어에 대한 관심이 점차 증대되고 있다. 특히 디젤 엔진 발전기 세트를 이용해서 전원을 공급하는 산업용 기계에 있어서는 디젤 엔진과 발전기가 주소음원이며, 크게 기계적 소음, 공기 역학적 소음, 그리고 전자기 소음 등으로 분류된다. 본 연구는 이러한 소음을 발생시키는 엔진(Engine), 발전기(Generator), 방열팬(Radiator Fan) 등의 성능을 개선시켜 소음을 감소시키는 것이 아니라, 외부 덮개(Canopy)에 흡음재를 부착하여 소음저감 방법을 채택했다. 연구대상으로서는 항만에서 컨테이너(Container)를 운송하는 이동용 크레인(Transfer Crane)의 엔진 발전기 세트(set)로서, 각 구성품(엔진, 발전기, 방열 팬)의 음향 덮개의 내부구조를 설계하였다. 그리고 덮개 내부 온도를 일정하게 유지시키기 위하여 엔진에서 방사하는 방열공기와 내부로 흡입되는 냉각공기의 열유동장 해석도 병행하였다.

Although the identification of a moving noise source is important in reducing the source power of the transport systems such as airplane or high speed train, the direct measurement of the frequency characteristics is usually difficult due to wind noise when using a microphone running with that noise source. On the other hand the motion of a source causes the frequency characteristics of the pass-by sound measured at a fixed point to be distorted that it is quite difficult to identify the original source characteristics. In this study the relationship between the spectra of the source and the pass-by sound signal is analyzed for a source moving at a constant velocity. The effects of the speed and the frequency characteristics of the source on the pass-by noise spectrum are investigated through numerical simulations.

Cable-free seismic technology is to acquire seismic data with independent receivers which are not connected by cables. This is an effective method for survey designs with less topographical conditions. With technology advancement for cable-free receivers, reliable data quality, easy deployment, and picking up the receivers, the cable-free technology has begun to apply to land seismic acquisition. In this study we introduced a cable-free seismic system and its equipment. We tried to build up the cable-free seismic technology through the field application. In the seismic tomography field applications, the seismic signals of the cable-free receiver and cabled receiver with the same distance from the source show the same phase in early stage. The difference of the first arrival times between two signals is less than 0.4 ms, which could be accepted. In the field application for seismic reflection exploration, we acquired shot gathers with different source depth and dynamite charge. The shot gathers from cable-free and cabled system are similar to each other. With an efficient method for receiver deployment and survey design, the application of the cable-free technology will increase.

In bistatic sonar operation, the scattering strength of a sonar target is characterized by the probe signal frequency, the aspect angle and the bistatic angle. Therefore, the target detection and identification performance of the bistatic sonar may vary depending on how the positions of the target, sound source, and receiver are changed during sonar operation. In this study, it was evaluated which variable is advantageous to change by comparing the target identification performance between the case of changing the aspect angle and the case of changing the bistatic angle during the operation. A scenario of identifying a hollow sphere and a cylinder was assumed, and performance was compared by classifying two targets with a support vector machine and comparing their accuracy using a finite element method-based acoustic scattering simulation. As a result of comparison, using the scattering strength defined by the frequency and the bistatic angle with the aspect angle fixed showed superior average classification accuracy. It means that moving the receiver to change the bistatic angle is more effective than moving the sound source to change the aspect angle for target identification.

Sound localization can be controlled by simulating the transfer functions from sound source to listener's ears. Even by using this method. a good performance cannot be expected when a listener slightly moves from the position where the transfer functions were measured. We have already been proposed the multi-point control method to overcome the problem of the listener's small movement. In this method, the transfer functions are simulated at multiple points around the listner's ears so that the points forms an area which covers the small movement of the listener. In this paper. we investigated the effect of applying multi-point control method for the control of sound localization. Results show that multi-point control is effective to keep the perceptual error of the localized direction small when the listener moves up to 6 cm from the original position.

In this paper, a practical quasi-optimal DOA(direction of arrival) estimator is proposed in order to develop a one-axis gimbaled ultrasonic source tracker for mobile robot applications. With help of the gimbal structure, the ultrasonic moving source tracking problem can be simply reduced to the DOA estimation. The DOA estimation is known as one of the representative long-pending nonlinear filtering problems, but the conventional nonlinear filters might be restrictive in many actual situations because it cannot guarantee the reliable performance due to the use of nonlinear signal model. This motivates us to reformulate the DOA estimation problem in the linear robust state estimation setting. Based on the assumption that the received ultrasonic signals are noisy sinusoids satisfying linear prediction property, a linear uncertain measurement model is newly derived. To avoid the DOA estimation performance degradation caused by the stochastic parameter uncertainty contained in the linear measurement model, the recently developed NCRKF (non-conservative robust Kalman filter) scheme [1] is utilized. The proposed linear DOA estimator provides excellent DOA estimation performance and it is suitable for real-time implementation for its linear recursive filter structure. The effectiveness of the suggested DOA estimation scheme is demonstrated through simulations and experiments.

A high intensity acoustic test facility has been constructed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). Spacecrafts are tested in the facility to check the reliability on acoustic environment of launch vehicles. The reverberant chamber of the facility has a volume of 1,228 cubic meters and provides an acoustic environment of 152 dB over the frequency range of 25 Hz to 10,000 Hz. This paper describes how the basic parameters of the facility including a chamber and power generation system are designed. Moreover, design parameters including acoustic spectrum, acoustic modulator characteristics, reverberation time and isolation characteristics are experimentally verified during acceptance tests.

This paper proposes a quasi-optimal linear DOA (Direction-of-Arrival) estimator which is necessary for the development of a real-time robot auditory system tracking moving acoustic source. It is well known that the use of conventional nonlinear filtering schemes may result in the severe performance degradation of DOA estimation and not be preferable for real-time implementation. These are mainly due to the inherent nonlinearity of the acoustic signal model used for DOA estimation. This motivates us to consider a new uncertain linear acoustic signal model based on the linear prediction relation of a noisy sinusoid. Using the suggested measurement model, it is shown that the resultant DOA estimation problem is cast into the NCRKF (Non-Conservative Robust Kalman Filtering) problem [12]. NCRKF-based DOA estimator provides reliable DOA estimates of a fast moving acoustic source in spite of using the noise-corrupted measurement matrix in the filter recursion and, as well, it is suitable for real-time implementation because of its linear recursive filter structure. The computational efficiency and DOA estimation performance of the proposed method are evaluated through the computer simulations.

It is important to determine the communicational method that knows the characteristic of phase variation along transducers formed array within the water column in actual underwater environment and the correlation between transducers. This paper analyzes the characteristic of phase variation that vary on different locations by probe signals that transmitted from a probe source and received along transducers. This paper calculated the theoretical transmission capacities by the analyzation of the correlation between transducers through changing the distance between transducers and the distance between a probe source and transducers.
