To understand the low frequency instability(LFI) characteristics in hybrid rockets combustion, effects of equivalence ratio variations on the phase shift between pressure and heat release oscillations were investigated by using the direct numerical simulation. The change in the equivalence ratio of the main chamber was simulated by the temperature and composition variation of the combustion gas introduced into the post-combustion chamber. In the results, additional combustion appeared along with vortex generation at the backward step, and combustion pressure and heat release oscillations were observed as the vortex moved. In addition, the results confirmed that the phase difference between the pressure and heat release oscillation shifts because of the changes in the propagation velocity of pressure wave as the temperature of combustion gas changes.

One of the typical problems in the precise vibration is resonance characteristics at low frequency disturbance due to a heavy mass. An electro-magnetic(EM) air spring is a kind of vibration control unit and active isolator. The EM air spring in this study aims at removing the low frequency resonance for semiconductor manufacturing. The mechanical and electronic parts in the active isolator are designed to operate under a weight of 2.5 tons. The EM spring is floated using air pressure in a pneumatic elastic chamber and actuated by EM levitation force. The actuator consists of a EM coil and a permanent magnetic plate which are installed inside of the chamber. An air mount was constructed for the experiment with a stone surface plate, 4 active air springs, 4 gap sensors, a DSP controller, and a multi-channel power amp. A PD control method and operating logic was applied to the DSP. Simulation using 1/4 model was carried out and compared with the experiments. The time duration and maximum peak at resonance frequency can be reduced sharply by the proposed system. The results show that the active system can avoid the resonance caused by the natural frequency of the passive system.

In this paper, characteristics of infrasound and low-frequency noise emission from large modern wind turbines are experimentally investigated. The sound measurement procedures of IEC 61400-11 and ISO 7196 are utilized to field test and evaluation of noise emission from each of 1.5 MW and 660 kW wind turbines using the stall regulation and the pitch control for the power regulation, respectively. It was found that the G-weighted SPLs of low-frequency noise including infrasound shows positive correlation with the wind speeds, irrespective of methods of power regulation. This highlights the potential complaint of local community against the infrasound and low-frequency noise of wind turbines. The comparison of measured data with the existing hearing thresholds and criteria curves shows that it is highly probable that the low-frequency noise from the 1.5 MW and 660 kW wind turbines in the frequency range over 30 Hz leads to the psychological complaint of ordinary adults, and that the infrasound in the frequency range from 5 Hz to 8 Hz causes the complaint by rattling the house fitting such as doors and windows.

A method of the low-frequency noise reduction in an enclosure by using an array of Helmholtz resonator is presented. An integral form of equation, which represents the acoustical coupling between the internal sound field and the resonator array, is formulated so that the boundary element method can be applied to solve the coupling problem. It is shown that the resonator array on the surface of the enclosure can be regarded as impedance patches on the boundary element. Experiments on a simple enclosure acoustically coupled with an array of resonators are conducted to verify the method. The predicted noise reduction by the boundary element method shows good agreement with the measured one. The effects of the resistance of resonators as well as the number of resonators on the noise reduction are demonstrated. As a practical example, the presented method is applied to the payload fairing of a space launcher with resonator arrays. It is demonstrated that the resistance of resonators affects significantly the required number of resonators to achieve a desired noise reduction.

플라이 휠 에너지 저장장치(Flywheel Energy Storage System: FESS)는 전기 에너지를 회전 운동 에너지로 저장하였다가 필요시 회전 운동에너지를 전기 에너지로 변환하여 재사용 가능한 에너지 저장장치 이다. 최근 전력 변환 기술의 발전으로 인하여 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치의 에너지 입출력 속도가 빨라지고 대용량의 에너지를 저장할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 플라이휠 에너지 저장 장치의 전력 입출력 특성을 이용하여 전력 시스템에서 발생하는 저주파 진동(Low frequency oscillation)을 억제하는 방안을 제시 하여 안정도를 향상 시키고자 하였다. 전력 시스템은 발전조건, 전송조건, 부하조건에 따라 동작 조건이 지속적으로 변하고 있다. 이러한 동작 환경 변화는 전력 시스템에 대한 수학적인 표현과 실제 전력계통간의 차이가 발생하기 때문에 정확한 제어 목적을 달성하기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 제어기 설계 단계에서 전력 계통의 불확실성을 고려할 수 있는 $H_{\infty}$ 제어 기법을 이용하여 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치를 위한 강인 제어기를 설계 하였다. 제안한 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치의 강인 제어기의 유용성을 입증하기 위하여 1기 무한대 모선에 적용한 결과를 비선형 시뮬레이션을 통하여 다양한 외란이 발생한 경우에 외란 억제 성능과 강인성에 대하여 고찰 하였으며, 제안한 방식이 기존의 전력계통 안정화 장치(Power system stabilizer: PSS) 보다 효율적이며 전력계통의 안정도 향상에 크게 기여함을 보이고자 하였다.

A laboratory study on low frequency noise assessment has been carried out to evaluate the relevance of the weighting curve. Especially, the A-weighting curve which is used in most noise assessments has been evaluated using the acceptability limit in this study. The acceptability limit is one of the indicators in which the subjective responses were well-reflected. For the measurement of the acceptability limit, pure tone stimuli were used in the frequency range between 20 and 200 Hz. The measurement was proceeded in the anechoic chamber to minimize the background noise level. A total of 29 test subjects, who were aged between 19 to 33 years, participated in this study. They had been exposed to various stimuli for about 1 hour by supra-aural earphone. The measurement consisted of two listening sessions: hearing threshold and the acceptability limit session. The results showed that the tendency of the acceptability limit curve was approximately equal to C-weighting curve which had been found to be superior to A-weighting curve in assessment of low frequencies.

공연장음향성능에 영향을 미치는 중요한 부자재중의 하나인 음향반사판의 면밀도 변화에 따른 흡음특성 변화를 조사하였다. 음향반사판은 목질계반사판으로 밀도 변화는 $11\;㎏/m^2{\sim}41k\;㎏/m^2$으로 총 3개의 시료를 대상으로 측정하였다. 저주파 대역에서의 흡음률을 측정하기 위하여 서브우퍼와 무지향성 스피커를 사용하였으며 측정결과 중고주파수 대역의 흡음률은 면밀도 변화에 따라 큰 차이가 없었으나 저주파수 대역의 흡음률을 면밀도 변화에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 음악 공연 공간내의 음향반사판의 면밀도 변화에 따른 실내 음향 특성 변화 및 설계지침에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Compressor is a major noise source of air-conditioner. Especially, its low frequency band noise below 1000㎐ is very important because it will not be attenuated by passing through the cover panel and heat exchanger in air-conditioner. The factors affecting the low frequency band noise are studied by geometric similarity along with several experiments, and the low frequency noise is closely related with the discharge holes of muffler as well as the cavity of lower shell.

A method of deminishing low frequency noise by acoustic acoupling with compliant wall is described. The coupled governing equations and boundary conditions are derived and solved. The coupled system shows very interesting behavior in the low frequency region; in the low frequency, acoustic wave doesn't propagate, but decay to satisfy the boundary condition with the compliant wall. Henceforth using this mechanism, we propose a method of reducing low frequency noise, which is infact related with the physical properties of compliant wall. The method has been experimentally verified.
