Theoretical models to study the vibro-acoustic performance of a sandwich panel are proposed. The wave propagation characteristics are analyzed, and dispersion relation is derived. The vibration Is analyzed using the Mindlin plate theory. The vibration of the compliantly supported Mindlin plate is investigated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The Timoshenko beam functions are used as trial functions. The model is applied to numerically investigate the influence of the plate mechanical properties. The vibro-acoustic properties are mostly determined by bending deformation at low frequencies. At higher frequencies, the shear deformation has a strong influence. The proposed numerical model is used to estimate the optimal panel properties that result in minimum sound radiation. With increasing dynamic stiffnesses the vibration response decreases but the radiating wavenumber components increase.

Sonoelastography is an ultrasound-based technique that visualizes the elastic properties of soft tissues by measuring the tissue motion generated by an externally applied vibration. In this paper. the characteristics of wave generation in soft tissues due to an acoustic vibrator are studied. The effects of modal patterns on the detectability of lesions such as tumors in senoelastography are also investigated These are accomplished by analyzing the vibration patterns calculated using theoretical equations and finite element methods in halt space, infinite plate. and finite-sized tissue. A finite-width source generates shear waves with large amplitude Propagating in specific directions. and the generation characteristics depend both on the width and frequency of the vibrator. as well as the distance from it. It is shown in a finite-sized tissue that the lesion detection in displacement images is quit dependent on the modal patterns inside tissue. In contrast it Is also found that the lesion detectability in strain images is less dependent on the modal Patterns and is much better than that in displacement images.

Visco-elastic damping material for reducing heavy-weight floor impact noise and vibration in reinforced concrete structures was tested according to its thickness in the damping layer. The effect of damping material was compared with 20, 15, 10 and 5mm thickness. The wave propagation characteristics was measured for suggestion of an efficient method to reduce the floor impact noise. The method was proposed using the flexural wave propagation characteristics. The result showed that reduction of the thickness of damping layer made a slight difference; the natural frequency moved to higher frequency and the amplitude increased at low frequencies with 5mm thickness of damping material.

고체내의 열에너지의 전달을 분석하기 위하여 고전적인 Fourier 열전도 법칙과 에너지 보존식에서 유도되는 열전도 방정식을 사용해 왔다. 이러한 열전도 방정식은 열전도가 무한한 속도로 진행된다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 그러나 극저온상태에서나 매우 급속한 열전도과정 중 매우 짧은 시간의 상태에서 non-Fourier 모델에 기초를 둔 쌍곡선형 열전도 방정식이 도입되었다. 최근의 이에 관한 연구에서 열전도가 파장의 형태로 유한한 전파속도를 갖는다는 것이 실험적으로 증명되었고 이로부터 여러 가지 실험적인 해석과 이론 해석이 전개되었다. 본 논문에서는 열전파 속도의 유한한 성질을 나타내는 수정된 열전도 법칙을 이용하여 1차원 평판에 대하여 공간에 대한 finite Fourier 변환 방법과 Green 함수 방법으로 해석하여 열전도파의 파동 성질, 공진 현상 및 위상차를 고찰하고자 한다. 열전도파가 갖는 모달 주파수에 대해 임계값을 갖으며 이 임계값을 초과할 때 공진 현상과 위상차를 고찰할 수 있었다.

Transient analysis for compressible fluid flow has been performed experimentally and analytically to study the dynamic characteristics of the end volume transmission lines following a sudden pressure change a its entrance. The numerical method was developed based on the method of characteristics. The sudden pressure at its entrance was generated by rupture of diaphragm in a shock tube. The sudden pressure was used to obtain the response, as input signal for the numerical analysis. The response to the sudden pressure at the end volume was measured using a pressure transducer. The experimental result shows good agreements with the numerical result. The effects of tube length, its diameter and end volume magnitude are evaluated on the responses of the pressure and on the damping factor. It is found that the viscous damping effects on the response through the transmission pipeline becomes larger with increasing pi;eline length and decreasing diameter of the pipe and the fluid-elastic stiffness decreases with increasing the terminal volume. The numerical approach presented in this paper can be very useful in designing the instrument and control system.

The performance of the piezoelectric patches as vibration control elements depends on the shunting electronics which are designed to dissipate vibration energy through a resistive element. In this study, tuning of the shunting circuits is performed based on the wave propagation characteristics. Optimization of the electronic component is performed depending on the dynamic and geometric properties which include boundary conditions and position of the shunted piezoelectric patch relative to the structure. The developed tuning methods showed superior capabilities in minimizing structural vibration and noise radiation compared to other tuning methods. The tuned circuits are relatively insensitive to changes in modal properties and boundary conditions.

In general, environment-induced vibration propagates from the center of source to the destination through ground. In fact, the mechanism of wave propagation is highly dependent on the ground conditions, and various methods to protect structures from such a ground vibration have been proposed. The method of wall barrier has been frequently used to cut off ground vibration effectively. However, the capability of wall barrier may be affected by various factors like constituent material of it. Therefore, it is important to figure out appropriate material for the wall barrier. This study is focused on the effect of EPS on the vibration protection. Centrifuge model tests were performed. Two types of models such as a cylindrical and a rectangular wall were used. For the cylindrical type of wall, installation depth was changed, while the length of the wall varied fur the rectangular type to figure out the capability of vibration protection.

The electromagnetic (light) waves have a limitation to penetrate media, ie, water and sea-bottom layers, due to high energy attenuation, but acoustic (sound) waves play as the good messenger to gather the underwater target information. Therefore, the acoustic methods are applied to almost all of ocean equipments and technology in terms of in-water and sub-bottom surveys. Generally the sound character is controlled by its frequency. In case that the sound source is low frequency, the penetration is high and the resolution is low. On the other hand, its character is reversed at the high frequency. The common character at the both of light and sound is the energy damping according to the travel distance increase.

In general, open trenches or in-filled trenches have been used to isolate transmitting of vibration. Recently alternative methods, in which various materials are used for wall barriers have been proposed and performed in several sites. Although the effects of these methods are verified, resonable and qualitative evaluation methods have not yet been conducted. It may be because many factors, such as the characteristics of vibration sources, ground condition, and parameters of wall barrier are coupled complicatedly. In this study, a series of centrifugal modelings were conducted in order to examine the evaluation method of a vibration wall barrier when point load transmits to the surface. The experiments were performed with different stiffness of wall barriers and different depths of installations. Using the results obtained from tests, effects of those variables on the efficiency of vibration barrier were analyzed. Through this investigation we observed vibration transmission of under ground, and verified the applicability of ball dropping system which was developed in this study.

This paper suggests the 2 D.O.F mathematical model of the High Frequency Vibro-Hammer (HFVH), introduces an experimental method for measuring of the attenuation of piling vibration and proves what experiments are coincident with the equation of wave propagation. As vibratory installation of piles and casings has many economic merits in the construction field, most of all contractors prefer to vibratory pile driving method than the other. Compared to impact pile driving, vibratory installation has the advantage of reducing vibration or noise pollution and can drive piles under high frequency. Experiments serve estimations of capabilities and limitations of the HFVH's excitation force and finding of sensitivity for important soil resistance parameters. Also, we discuss the HFVH that can drive with three kinds of input waves (triangular, sine and square wave) and propose the design of parameters to improve actuating performance in it.
