Acoustic Quanta, which British Physicist Dennis Gabor created, is the theoretical background for granular synthesis and has influenced many computer music artists and sound designers. Acoustic Quanta is a very short sound burst, lasting only 1 to 100 ms. Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis technique which slices original sound into sound grains and re-combines them into a new acoustic event. Concept of sound grain is borrowed from the acoustic quanta. Granular Synthesis can make very unique sound, so that it can be useful in many ways, especially in sound design. This paper presents concept of acoustic quanta and granular synthesis. It then discusses making a synthesizer as an implementation of synchronous granular synthesis and its applications on sound design. As a result, the duration of acoustic quanta should range between 0.239 and 33.367 ms, in consideration of audible frequencies, which is different from the original concept of the acoustic quanta.

In accordance with recent culture-advancement and national improvement in conscious level, the desire for cultural life is on increasing, so that it is also increasing tendency toward the planning and construction of large performance hall for the local residents, conducted by the provincial self-governing body. For the sake of a satisfiable acoustic efficiency at the said large performance hall, although it is designed and constructed with application of various methods of simulation from the planning stage, there could be appeared an error of the said simulation and defect occurred in the construction, and due to such reason, a situation unable to fulfill a satisfiable Acoustic efficiency to be generated thereat after opening of the hall. Accordingly, it is able to judge on the part which necessitates for betterment, also the region where acoustically weak, through measurement and evaluation on the acoustic efficiency in the completed performance all, and by its correction as well as supplement thereon based on the afore-mentioned, a performance hall equipped with the supreme acoustic condition could be established.

The active noise control which regards the acoustic power as a target function to be minimized, is analyzed to test its feasibility of which simplifies the measurement system compared with the global acoustic energy based active noise control system. In fact, it is found that the acoustic power based active noise control strategy is equally likely as good as the global acoustic energy based active noise control method if the acoustic field of interest is diffusive or very low model density one. In the intermediate model density field, we also demonstrate that the power based control gives the similar results as the energy based control in terms of global sound energy reduction for the lightly damped enclosure which might be most important system in practical application. From all the theoretical and power based control strategy is dependent on the characteristics of the acoustic field to be controlled; i.e., the model density distribution, the degree of reverberation, and on the strength of modal interaction of the control source with the primary source; i.e., the location of control source.

It is well recently recognized that quench is one of the serious problems for the integrity of superconducting magnets, which is mainly attribute to the rapid temperature rising in the magnet due to some extrinsic factors such as conductor motion, crack initiation etc. In order to apply acoustic emission(AE) technique effectively to monitor and diagnose superconducting magnets, it is essential to identify the sources of acoustic emission. In this paper, an acoustic emission technique has been used to monitor and diagnose quenching phenomenon in racetrack shaped superconducting magnets at cryogenic environment of 4.2K. For these purposes special attention was paid to detect AE signals associated with the quench of superconducting magnets. The characteristics of AE parameters have been analyzed by correlating with quench number, winding tension of superconducting coil and charge rate by transport current.

용접과 관련되는 분야에서, 재료평가와 비파괴 검사법으로서의 Acoustic Emission의 응용을 살펴 보았다. 재료 평가법으로서의 AE는 다른 시험방법들이 검출해 내지 못하는 재료 내부에서의 미시적인 현상들을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 앞으로 새로운 용접재료의 개발이라든지, 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 용접부위의 정량적인 평가를 위해서 AE의 응용은 중요한 정보들을 제공하게 될 것이다. 한편 용접구조물의 비파괴적 평가법으로서의 AE는 균열의 동적인 거동 및 균열의 위치를 검지할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 응용범위는 더욱 넓어질 것이다. 여기서 유의하여야 할 점은, 목적으로 하는 AE신호를 수만배 까지 증폭시키는 과정에서 환경잡음의 영향을 무시할 수 없는 경우에는 우선적으로 잡음을 적극적으로 제거하는 고도의 연구도 함께 병행되어야 한다는 것이다.

A continuum-based shape design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is presented for the acoustic radiation from thin body. The normal derivative integral formulation is employed as an analysis formulation and differentiated directly by using material derivative to get the acoustic shape design sensitivity. In the acoustic sensitivity formulation, derivative coefficients of the structural normal velocities on the surface are required as the input. Thus, the shape design sensitivities of structural velocities on the surface with respect to the shape change are also calculated with continuum approach. A simple disk is considered as a numerical example to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the analytical shape design sensitivity equations derived in this research. This research should be very helpful to design an application involving thin body and to change its acoustic characteristics.

This Study was conducted to evaluate structural integrity and crack source location of RC structures strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plates using acoustic, Four pont bending tests were carried out RC reinforced with C.F.R.P for the several strengthening specimens, the process of fracture was monitored by Acoustic Emission and duration and energy in AE parameters were analyzed. The location and propagation of crack could be easily determined by monitoring AE, which concluded that AE technique could be a very useful tool to evaluate structural integrity of reinforced RC structure.

The electromagnetic (light) waves are limited to penetrate the 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 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.

The prediction of sound pressure using acoustic holography has been recognized as a useful tool for the visualization of sound field. Cylindrical acoustic holography amongst acoustic holographic methods planar, spherical, and cylindrical ones-has a wide range of application since its rather simple construction and easy implementation for the sources. To utilize the propery of cylindrical holographic method, estimation errors associated with holographic parameters such as aperture size and sampling space must be envisaged. In this these errors have been studied by numerical simulation and the relation between the errors and the spectrum in wavenumber domain is described. The results are also confirmed by simple experiments.

A noise transfer function(NTF) is the frequency response function between an input force applied to an exterior point of a vehicle body and the resultant interior sound pressure usually measured at the driver's ear position. It represents the measure of noise sensitivity for the output force transmitted to the joints between the body and chassis. The principle of vibro-acoustic reciprocity is often utilized in the measurement of NTF. One difficulty in using the volume source is that most of the previously proposed methods require the knowledge of the volume velocity of the acoustic source in advance. A new method proposed in the present work does not require any calculation related with the volume velocity of the acoustic source, but still yields even more accurate results both in the amplitude and phase of the NTF. In the present work, the new method is applied to obtain NTF data for a midsize sedan.
