This paper describes the development process for vibration and acoustic characteristics of a balanced armature speaker. The design parameters were chosen in consideration of the influence of the bending stiffness of balanced armature which is the form of a cantilever structure in the speaker. For study of the performance of the speaker according to the design parameters, in the first step, we analyzed the characteristics of the velocity of the diaphragm to the electrical input. Next step, acoustic characteristics were analyzed by structural-acoustic coupled analysis. And the reliability of the analysis was verified by comparing the result of analysis with test results. Finally, we proposed a design method for implementing an enhanced balanced armature speakers through analysis method.

The performance of an acoustic transducer is determined by the effects of many design variables, and mostly the influences of these design variables are not linearly independent of each other. To achieve the optimal performance of an acoustic transducer, we must consider the cross-coupled effects of the design variables. In this study, the variation of the performances of underwater acoustic transducer in relation to its structural variables was analyzed. In addition, the new optimal design scheme of an acoustic transducer that could reflect not only individual but also all the cross-coupled effects of multiple structural variables, and could determine the detailed geometry of the transducer with great efficiency and rapidity was developed. The validation of the new optimal design scheme was verified by applying the optimal structure design of a flextensional transducer which are the most common use for high power underwater acoustic transducer. With the finite element analysis(FEA), we analyzed the variation of the resonance frequency, sound pressure, and working depth of a flextensional transducer in relation to its design variables. Through statistical multiple regression analysis of the results, we derived functional forms of the resonance frequency, sound pressure, and working depth in terms of the design variables. By applying the constrained optimization technique, Sequential Quadratic Programming Method of Phenichny and Danilin(SQP-PD), to the derived function, we designed and verified the optimal structure of the Class IV flextensional transducer that could provide the highest sound pressure level and highest working depth at a given operation frequency of 1 kHz.

A flow induced mechanical vibration and acoustic resonance should be considered at design stage because they are mainly occurred in the tube bank of boiler. Acoustic resonance is occurred when the vortex shedding frequency of tube bank coincides with the acoustic natural frequency of the cavity. Effective solution to avoid acoustic resonance is installing acoustic baffles in the tube banks parallelly inside of the flow cavity. Thus, location and number of acoustic baffles should be exactly calculated to eliminate the acoustic resonance. This paper presents case study of acoustic resonance due to inappropriate number and location of acoustic baffles. Measured frequency and mode in the study is verified by FEM acoustic modal analysis. The number and location of acoustic baffles to avoid acoustic resonance are calculated by using FEM acoustic modal analysis.

In this paper, the characteristics of receiving voltage sensitivity about acoustic package in towed array sonar is analyzed through the numerical simulation and design of experiments. Simulation results show that the variation of receiving voltage sensitivity is caused by the structural resonance mode shape on baseline acoustic package. The effect of design parameters of the acoustic package are analyzed through the design of experiments to reduce the deviation of receiving voltage sensitivity. A change of hydrophone shield can thickness (t) is the greatest effect on the deviation of receiving voltage sensitivity. As a result of water tank test, the acoustic package derived from the design of experiments has reduced deviation of receiving voltage sensitivity.
