In this study, the physical characteristics of steel-wire sound absorbing materials with different thickness and bulk density is experimentally obtained in terms of the porosity and specific flow resistivity. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions can be made. The porosities of steel-wire sound absorbing materials are smaller than those of general absorbing materials, which are inversely proportional to the volume densities. For the porosity measurement with a good accuracy, the dynamic correction based on the system compliance should be involved in porosity measurement. In addition, the flow condition for the precise measurement of the specific flow resistivity of steel-wire sound absorbing materials should be limited in the laminar flow region.

This paper studied combustion characteristics of the sponge type sound-absorbing materials extensively used on building interior. To estimate of the combustion characteristics, we carried out combustion experiment of general type and incombustibility type sound-absorbing materials. And then to evaluate the suitability of the sponge type sound-absorbing materials, we measured heat release rate (HRR) and smoke density (Ds) of the sound-absorbing materials using by a cone-calorimeter. From the combustion experimental results, general type sound-absorbing materials were rapid burned simultaneously with ignition and the incombustibility type sound-absorbing materials had all gone out simultaneously with ignition. Measured results of HRR and Ds were not satisfied KS F ISO 5660-1 and IMO FTP Code, form the results, the sponge type sound-absorbing materials were ill-suited for using building interior.

Todays, according to development of traffics, there are so many tunnels around us. Tunnels are used for trains, subway trains, cars, etc. Especially for subway, all of its routes are tunnels. So the noise of the subway train cannot radiated out of the station and the noise level in the station and train cabin is so high. There are some methods to reduce this noise and one of them is using absorbing materials. But the area of the tunnel and station is very large, so it is important to determine the effective position and amount of absorbing materials before attaching them. In this study, we studied the effect of sound absorbing materials in the tunnel using boundary element method. We applied BEM for general boundary conditions. With BEM calculations, we found the effect of absorbing materials and effective positions for the subway tunnel and station.

This study search for absorbing sound and exhaust-gas which aims to manufacture continuous void by using clay and foam, the surface of materials is covered with $TiO_{2}$ powder as heat treatment. According to the results of the experiment, the increase of thickness of manufactured sound absorbing materials caused the increase of absorption rate in the range of low and middle sound and thus it can be an important factor of improving absorption rate. Sound absorbing materials could satisfy 70% of the average of sound absorption ratio in 7cm thickness. Also, the manufactured sound absorbing materials is covered with $TiO_{2}$ showed an excellency in the clarification of exhaust-gas under ultraviolet rays treatment when 70% of removal rate and about 10% of generation rate of $NO_{2}$ is settled by the flow of 2 $\ell$/min NO gas. Especially, manufactured sound absorbing materials could improve compressive strength of continuos porous concrete. in the case of 7% bubble addition, when the substitution rate of coagulator was 30% and 20%, compressive strength was 45kgf/$cm^{2}$ and 65kgf/$cm^{2}$ respectively. As the substitution rate of coagulator reducing, compressive strength increased after preforming burnt clay.

To improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing materials, the thickness of the material should be increased or the sound absorbing material having an irregular surface shape should be used. In this study, the acoustic characteristics and methods to improve the acoustic performance of a sound absorbing system equipped with double layered polyester sound absorbing materials were investigated. The numerical model was set up and the results obtained from the model were compared with the actual measurement data. And, strategies to improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing systems with double layered sound absorbing materials made of polyester with different configuration were shown. So, this study is expected to be usefully used at sites that require high acoustic absorption performance with minimal installation thickness to reduce sounds reflection in narrow spaces such as interior of subway tunnels or in noise barriers installed adjacent to rails.

This paper studied combustion characteristics of the building materials such as polyurethane-foam, sponge type sound-absorbing materials and styrofoam. To estimate of the combustion characteristics, we carried out combustion experiment of the building materials. And then to evaluate the suitability of the building materials, we measured heat release rate(HRR) and smoke density(Ds) of polyurethane-foam, sponge type sound-absorbing materials and styrofoam using by a cone-calorimeter. From the combustion experimental results, the general type sound-absorbing materials (GSAM) and styrofoam were rapid burned simultaneously with ignition and the incombustibility type sound-absorbing materials(ISAM) and polyurethane-foam had all gone out simultaneously with ignition. Measured results of HRR and Ds were not satisfied KS F ISO 5660-1 and IMO FTP Code, from the results, the polyurethane-foam, the sponge type sound-absorbing material and the styrofoam were ill-suited for using building interior materials.

A research for the optimal design of microwave absorbing material featuring for the broadband has been conducted to apply to warship. A multilayered structure was suggested using wave absorbing layers and resistance layer to perform high performance in broadband frequencies. For the optimization of the wave absorbing characteristics, the thickness and permittivities of the absorbing layers as well as the surface resistance of the resistant layer were determined using genetic algorithm. The data base of permittivities related to the density of the dielectric materials and loss materials was obtained by the experiments for the dielectric constants of the absorbing layers, furthermore, the results were numerically expressed and used for the optimization.

In this paper, the acoustic performance of an absorptive silencer was enhanced by optimizing an arrangement of multi-layered absorbing materials. The acoustic performance of the silencer was evaluated through transmission loss, and finite element method-based numerical analysis program was employed to calculate the transmission loss. Polyurethane, a porous elastic material frequently used in absorptive silencers, was employed as the absorbing material. The Biot-Allard model was applied, assuming that air is filled inside the polyurethane. By setting the frequency range of interest up to the 2 kHz and the acoustic performance affecting properties of the absorbing materials were investigated when it was composed as a single layer. And the acoustic performance of the silencers with the single and multi-layered absorbing materials was compared with each other based on polyurethane material properties. Subsequently, the arrangement of the absorbing materials was optimized by applying the Nelder-Mead method. The results demonstrated that the average transmission loss improved compared to the single-layered absorptive silencer.

Environment-friendly shock-absorbing materials were made of wastepaper such as Korean old corrugated containers(KOCC) and Korean old newsprint (KONP) with a vacuum forming method. The plate-like cushioning materials made of KOCC and KONP respectively by vacuum forming showed superior shock-absorbing properties with lower elastic moduli compared to expanded polystyrene (EPS) and pulp mold. Even though the plate-like materials had many free voids in their fiber structure, their apparent densities (${\approx}0.1g/cm^3$) were a little higher than that of EPS (${\approx}0.03g/cm^3$) and much lower than that of pulp mold(${\approx}0.3g/cm^3$). However, the elastic moduli of the cushioning materials made of wastepaper were much lower than that of EPS or pulp mold. This finding implies that the cushioning materials made of KOCC fibers containing more lignin than KONP show better shock-absorbing properties than KONP. Moreover, the cushioning materials made of KOCC and KONP respectively showed greater porosity than pulp mold. The addition of cationic starch to the cushioning materials contributed to the increase in the elastic modulus to the same level as that of EPS. Furthermore, the deterioration in fiber quality by repeated use of wastepaper played a positive role in improving shock-absorbing ability.

The effects of absorbing materials on the characteristics of supersonic jet noise were experimentally investigated using a convergent-divergent nozzle with a design Mach number of 2.0. Overall sound pressure levels (OASPL) and noise spectra were obtained at far-field locations. Schlieren optical system was used to visualize the flow-fields of supersonic jets. In order to investigate the effect of absorbing materials, baffle plates of different materials (metal, grass wool and polyurethane foam) were installed at the exit of the nozzle. Experiment was carried out over a wide range of nozzle pressure ratios from 2.0 and 18.0, which corresponds to over- and under-expanded conditions. The results obtained show that the screech tone amplitude and the overall sound pressure level reduce by using the baffle plates of absorbing materials, compared with the metal baffle plate. It is also found that the characteristics of supersonic jet noise are strongly dependent on the size of baffle plate.
