Large span spaces have been widely used for various purposes including sports events in other countries. Due to increasing demands on multi-purpose use of such spaces, recently built large span sport facilities such dome stadiums have been required to accommodate sport events as well as performing events. Also, retractable ceilings and/or walls were generally adopted in those spaces for providing various event conditions. It seems obvious that the openings between diffuse fields and free field may cause difficulties in the acoustic design of such spaces In the present work, the acoustic characteristics of non-diffuse field has been investigated using 1/10 acoustic scale models. It was found that RTs at low- and mid-frequencies decayed faster than those at high-frequencies as the percentage of opening area increased. The decay rate of RTs at high frequencies were not influenced by increasing the area of an opening. Also high dependence of EDT on the percentage of opening area was observed at all frequency range. D50 was not improved by increasing the area of an opening up to 12.5% and then sharply increased. The application of Schroeder integration to evaluate the reverberation charateristics of coupled spaces may not be proper, since non-exponential decay process with double or triple decays of those spaces can not be properly defined. EDT seems more appropriate to predict reverberation at the early acoustic design stage of acoustically coupled spaces.

In this paper, the validity for the application of the diffuse sound field theoty to the real sound field, especially on the bounding surfaces of the rooms, was reconsidered. The analytical result for directivity pattern on the bounding surfaces of the room was compared with the result of numerical simulations using ray tracing technique. Comparison results show that the distribution of the incident sound energy vs incident angles is approximated to Gaussian distribution, not to the uniform distribution.

본 연구는 음장의 주관 확산감과 관련있는 두 귀에 입사하는 신호의 상호상관도와 청각유발 반 응과의 관계를 밝히기 위한 것이다. 실험은 중신 주파수가 500Hz인 1/3옥타브 대역잡음을 이용하여 IACC를 0.95에서 0.1까지 가변시키면서 AER을 기록하였다. IACC와 주관확산감과의 함수 결과와 비교 하기 위하여 기준음과 테스트음의 쌍을 교대로 제시하면서 AER을 청각 부위에서 기록하였다. 그 결과 테스트음에 대해 IACC와 관련된 정보는 AER의 반응시간에 나타났고, IACC의 크기가 감소함에 따라 반응시간이 길어지는 경향이 나타났다. 여기에서 IACC와 AER의 반응시간과는 선형관계를 나타냈다. 이 결과는 청각계에서 음장의 IACCDP 반응하는 뉴런이나 메카니즘이 존재하는 것을 암시하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Generally, interlayer noise is measured in decibels (A) in terms of free field. In this paper, we propose a measurement method of interlayer vibration acceleration in the diffusion field perspective. The proposed method can represent a vibration-embodied formula similar to the sensitivity of earthquake intensity when the natural vibration of apartment house is measured by acceleration with its average value of $20mm/s^2$ represented by an the geometric progression of radix. Based on this theory, this paper proposes a method to show the optimal user experience (UX) by applying the interlayer vibration acceleration of the epicenter to the system of human - computer interaction (HCI).

Fast Fourier Transform in the vibration acceleration analysis system has recently been utilized in the field of sensor measurement. In this paper, we propose a Fast Fourier Transform based method of detecting the normal frequency among the many frequency types of diffuse field. This normal frequency is expressed by the formula of frequency damping recognition which is calculated in a similar way to the octave center frequency. Based on this theory, this paper can more accurately inform noise producers of the degree of damping, which is different from the vibration type of diffuse field.

스테레오, MIDI, MP3 등등의 신호를 입력으로 하여 음상의 공간감, 거리감, 방향감, 확산감, 위치감 등이 지각을 느끼게 하는 공간적 현장감 시스템을 제안한다. 본 제안은 2채널로 기록된 매체를 2채널 또는 다채널로 표현이 가능하며 영상과 더불어 두 개의 스피커만으로도 입체 음향을 즐길 수 있다. 음악의 경우는 장르에 따라 각각의 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러한 특징은 위치감과 방향감에 의해 음장의 형태를 구현하고 공간감 거리감을 부과하므로 입체 음장 구현을 도모한다. 그리고 확산감을 부과하므로써 실조화 공간 음장을 구현할 수있다. 본 논문은 특정한 음색을 변화하기 위하여 이퀄라이저를 이용할 필요가 없으며, 다양한 음장 형태를 DSP를 이용 알고리즘화 하여 구현하던 것을 본 RSF는 아날로그 방식으로 구현하므로써 노이즈 측면과 PCB 패턴 부분 고려등을 고려하지 않고도 구현할 수 있다.

The present work measured and analyzed changes in the acoustics of a sound field which has a retractable ceiling. An 1/20 scale model of an openable space was built and measurement was carried out by varying the opened area of a ceiling. The most widely used room acoustic and design parameters, RT, EDT, and D50 were investigated. The results suggest that the use of RT as an acoustic design parameter may not be proper in an openable space and further it is likely to mislead the initial acoustic design of such spaces. It is mainly due to the characteristics of RT in which non-exponential decay processes are linearly fitted. Early decay times were found to be decreased in proportion to increaing the ratio of opened area. D50, an index of speech intelligibility, was effectively shows the influence of openings on the acoustics. It is also found that EDT and D50 at the seats, not directly exposed to the opened part of a ceiling, were almost linearly decreased in proportion to the ratio of opened area, while little influence was found for the opening ratio larger than 40% at the directly exposed seats to the opened part of a ceiling.

The degree of diffusion, characterized by the "scattering coefficient" of surface materials, has been known to be one of the most important factors in determining the acoustical qualities of concert halls. Based on the suggested ISO method, which measures the random-incidence scattering coefficient of surfaces in a diffuse field, the scattering coefficients of different sizes and densities of wooden hemispheres and cubes were measured in model-scale reverberation rooms. As a result, wooden hemispheres with a structural depth of more than 15㎝ have the highest average (500㎐∼4㎑) scattering coefficient. It was also found that the scattering coefficient becomes higher when the diffuser density reaches about 50% for hemispheres and 30% for cubes.

실의 음향성능을 규명하기 위하여 많은 음향인자가 개발되어지고 제시되어 왔다. 음향인자 중 확산은 실의 전반적인 음향성능에 매우 유용한 것으로 여겨져 왔다. 본 연구는 장방형의 형태를 가지고 체적과 마감재료가 같은 2종류의 축척모델을 제작하여 각각의 모델에서 RT, EDT, SPL, C, IACC 등을 측정하여 확산체의 유$\cdot$무에 따른 실의 실내음향 성능을 알아보고자 한다 실험결과 실내 표면의 확산성의 차이에 따라 표면의 확산성이 좋은 공간에서 초기음장에서 음에너지가 집중되고 분산되는 것을 입증하였다. 즉 확산성이 좋은 모델에서 잔향시간(RT)은 더 짧으나 초기감쇠시간(EDT)이 더 길게 나타남으로 인하여 음에너지의 분포가 실의 확산상태에 의하여 음의 발생이후 짧은 시간내에 집중하여 전달되고 있음을 증명하였다. 또한 실의 확산상태가 좋은 공간의 명료도가 확산이 되지 않은 실에 비하여 훨씬 더 좋은 결과를 보이고 있음을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 실내 표면의 확산성이 전반적인 실내 음장의 향상에 크게 기여하고 있음을 밝혀 냈다.

This study is dealt with a method to enhance low-frequency diffuse sound field in a scaled reverberation chamber. Because scaled reverberation chamber has not enough room volume, as a result, it shows a few room modes. So it is not build up low-frequency diffuse sound field. A Helmholtz resonator's arrangement is used to improve spatial uniformity of sound pressure at low frequency. The spatial distribution of sound field has been measured before and after control. The standard deviation of sound field has decreased at 315Hz 1/3 Octave band.
