In this study, a new practical method of predicting the sound absorption coefficient for multiple perforated-plate sound absorbing system was developed using transfer matrix method. In order to validate the proposed method, the absorption coefficients calculated by transfer matrix method for single perforated plate were first compared with the absorption coefficients measured by SWR method according to different porosity, hole diameter, and thickness of the perforated plate. Based on the comparison results, transfer matrix method was further applied to double and triple perforated plates to evaluate the absorption coefficients. The experimental results showed that the absorption coefficients from transfer matrix method generally agreed well with the corresponding absorption coefficients from SWR method. However, due to the limitations of the impedance model used in this study, the measured values were differed with the calculated values for small porosity, hole diameter, and thickness in size of the perforated plate indicating the need of impedance model development for multiple perforated-plate sound absorbing system covering wide ranges of porosity, hole diameter, and thickness of the perforated plate.

This paper raises issues in testing the absorption coefficients of sound-absorptive samples using the standing wave apparatus according to the Korean standard of KS F 2814. The standard code does not consider any effect of air-damping which is significant in testing relatively low sound-absorptive samples. This limitation has been shown to yield much variation of sound absorption coefficients for recent samples tests whose coefficients are less than 10%. An improved method of calculating the sound absorption coefficients is proposed in this work and its effectiveness in real test is also illustrated. Finally, the guideline for the modification of our national standard code KS F 2814 is proposed.

The possibility is investigated of determining the diffuse absorption coefficients of the wall surfaces in a real room by minimizing the errors between the measured energy impulse response of a real room and the predicted energy impulse responses obtained from the ray tracing simulation of the room. In other words, this can possibly serve as a basis for "acoustical system identification" in attempting to determine the "best fit" of modelled absorption coefficients to measured energy response data. Algorithms for attempting this were investigated. The algorithms developed for this purpose proved to be rigorous and efficient. Instead of using the ray tracing model to determine the absorption coefficients, the phase image model was used in order to determine the acoustic impedances of wall surfaces. However, the numerical algorithms could not find the correct impedance values, primarily due to the wide range of the acoustic impedance values of any single acoustic material and very long computation time.

The absorptions of aminopyrine, molecular compounds of aminopyrine and mixed compounds of aminopyrine were studies in the small intestine of rats (in situ). The molecular compounds of aminopyrine were more absorbed than aminopyrine and mixed compounds of aminopyrine were less absorbed than aminopyrine in small intestine of rats. The appearent permeability coefficients and the absorption velocity constants of the molecular compound of aminopyrine-barbital were highest and the orders of decreasing in values of permeability coefficients and the absorption velocity constants of the other molecular compounds are as follows: Aminopyrine-secobarbital, Aminopyrine-phenobarbital Aminopyrine-amobarbital, Aminopyrine-cyclobarbital Aminopyrine-allobarbital. The orders of decreasing in values of the appearent permeability coefficients and the absorption velocity constants of the mixed compounds of aminopyrine are as follows: Aminopyrine secobarbital, Aminopyrine allobarbital Aminopyrine cyclobarbital, Aminopyrine amobarbital Aminopyrine phenobarbital, Aminopyrine barbital. The relative absorption rates of aminopyrine, molecular compounds of aminopyrine and the mixed compounds of aminopyrine by the goldfish method and the partition coefficients were correlative to the values of circulation method.

This paper raises issues in testing the absorption coefficients of sound-absorptive samples in the standing wave tube according to the Korean standard of KS F 2814. The code does not consider any effect of air-damping during test. This limitation has been shown to yield much variation of sound absorption coefficients for recent sample tests whose coefficients are less than 10 %. An improved method of calculating the sound absorption coefficients is proposed in this work and its effectiveness in real test is also illustrated. Finally, the guide line for the modification of our national standard code KS F 2814 is suggested for the future.

The absorption power of a surface depends on the surface irregularity which has been known as an important factor in determining scattering coefficient. This study investigates the effect of increase in surface area on the absorption and scattering coefficients of a diffuse surface. The surface irregularity or surface pattern can be compared to the wavelengths and the random-incidence scattering coefficient of surface is measured by ISO 17497-1. The scattering coefficients of increasing the surface area in linear pattern of v-cut groove on rubber plate were measured in 1:10 scale model reverberation chamber. It is found that the scattering and absorption coefficients increase with increasing surface area. At 60% of increased surface area the spacing between the hemisphere diffuser and the v-cut groove acts similar with results of absorption coefficient. The results show that absorption coefficient depends on surface area and the spacing where as scattering coefficient depends on surface area and texture.

We have proposed a method to calculate the absorption coefficients for the bound-to-continuum transitions in a strong biased quantum-well infrared photodetector. We have applied this method to a manufactured sample of typical device parameters, and obtained good agreements with experiments. The absorption coefficients evaluated are up to 5,700/cm at some particular operating conditions. We have also been able to make a qualitative explanation for the bias dependence of response.

Today, the use of the sound absorptive material is increasing to improve the room acoustics in the auditorium and music hall, etc. Usually, the sound absorption materials have been used to enhance the performance of a noise barrier and improve the room acoustics in construction site. Generally, the sound absorbtion coefficients are the most important factor reflecting the sound absorbtion performance. There are two methods to measure the sound absorption coefficient. The first one is the reverberation room method, and the second is the impedance tube method. In this study, we measure the sound absorbtion coefficients using these two methods, and then we compared the results of the sound absorbtion coefficients to look into the difference of results between reverberation room method and impedance tube method. Also we compared the results of the sound absorbtion coefficients with respect to the size of sample and the volume of reverberation room. From the experiment, we could see that the sound absorbtion coefficients are measured equally for different sample size. But the sound absorbtion coefficients are measured differently according to test methods and test conditions.

The IR edge absorption of the important pure components of ZrF4-based glasses, including two previously uncharacterized components(ZrF4 and AlF3), has been measured. Values of the glass IR edge absorption coefficients have been calculated from these results, assuming additivity, and are compared with experimental glass absorption coefficients. The calculated ${\alpha}$ values are about a factor of two lower than the experimental values for ZrF4-based glasses, and the ZrF4 makes the largest contribution to the calculated ${\alpha}$ value.

This study offers a Monte Carlo alternative for computing mass energy absorption coefficients of any material through calculation of photon energy deposited per mass of the sample and the energy flux obtained inside a sample volume. This approach is applied in this study to evaluate mass energy absorption coefficients of some amino acids found in human body at twenty-eight different photon energies between 10 keV and 20 MeV. The simulations involved a pencil beam source modeled to emit a parallel beam of mono-energetic photons toward a 1 mean free path thick sample of rectangular parallelepiped geometry. All the components in the problem geometry were surrounded by a 100 cm vacuum sphere to avoid any interactions in materials other than the absorber itself. The results computed using the Monte Carlo radiation transport packages MCNP6.2 and GAMOS5.1 were checked against the theoretical values available from the tables of XMUDAT database. These comparisons indicate very good agreement and support the conclusion that Monte Carlo technique utilized in this fashion may be used as a computational tool for determining the mass energy absorption coefficients of any material whose data are not available in the literature.
