The insertion loss is the measured change in power flux at a specified receiver, when the acoustic transmission path between it and the source is modified by the insertion of silencer element. Such measurements have clear and valid physical meaning particularly if the source impedance remains while the transmission path is altered. When the invarient condition is satisfied, the insertion loss is given by the ratio of the acoustic pressure in upstream to that in downstream of the silencer, and that of the particle velocity. The measurement is consisted of using an adaptation of the two microphone method to obtain the complex amplitude of the sound in upstream tube as well as in downstream tube of the silencer. Examples of the data, reduced and presented in terms of the pressure ratio and particle speed ratio, are compared with the theoretical calculations.

FTIR, FT-Raman, and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to determine chain segregations and lamellar structures of the mixed binary n-paraffins with different chain lengths. The results of three different techniques, infrared spectroscopic studies of crystal field splitting, the Raman longitudinal acoustic mode, and the SAXS long period measurements were compared one another to understand the crystallization mechanism of separated or mixed n- paraffin lamellae.

In this paper, we present a new specific and customized interface tool with parameter identification of Modified Butterworth-Van Dyke models for ladder bulk acoustic wave filters. The aforementioned tool is easy to use and flexible because it allows simulations and reengineering to be conducted in an application. A modular design approach is applied to simplify the extension of the proposed tool for different topologies. The proposed tool was validated using measurements from an aluminum-nitride based ladder BAW filter dedicated to the frequency ranges of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service and standards and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access.

Crack penetration behavior by fatigue crack propagation and measurements of AE before-and-after crack penetration were examined using SS41 steel plate. Experimental crack shape of SU type was in good agreement with calculated shape rather than S type. Crack propagation behavior on the front surface appears not to change markedly after penetration. However, crack growth on the back surface appears to accelerate as reported by author. As a crack propagates, AE occurred heavily just before penetration. Then, it decreases and crack is penetrating. A transition from plane strain to plane stress was observed by fractographic study. At this time, separation of fracture surface was shown which affects AE occurrence.

In this paper, we emphasize the advantage of thermal annealing treatments for improvement characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on multi-layer thin films, namely, Bragg reflectors. Sintering and/or annealing processes were applied in our experiments. The measurements confirm once again a considerable improvement of return loss $(S_{11})$ and quality factor $(Q_{s/p})$. these thermal treatment techniques are really promising for enhancing performance of FBAR resonators in industry fabrication of RF devices.

In this study, 1D and 3D thermoacoustic analysis model were developed in order to predict fundamental characteristics of combustion instability in a gas turbine lean premixed combustor. The 1D network model can be used to analyze frequency and growth rate of combustor instability by simply dividing whole system into a couple of acoustic sub-elements, while the 3D Helmholtz solver model can predict directly acoustic modes as well as basic properties of combustion instability. Prediction results of both 1D and 3D models generally showed a good agreement with the measurements, even if there was a slight overestimation for instability range.

There are many results in which acoustical conditions of a classroom play an important role for studying effects and academic achievement of students. However, there are very few guidelines or design proposals which could make appropriate acoustic environment when classrooms are built or renovated. The present study suggests various design proposals satisfying acoustic standards of classrooms based on theoretical calculation and acoustic field experiments. At first, minimum area of sound absorption was calculated which is required to satisfy the acoustic standard for domestic middle and high schools. Also, room acoustic measurements were carried out in order to investigate the acoustic performance of an existing classroom by changing interior finishing materials on ceiling and rear walls. As a result, it was revealed that reverberation time standard below 0.8 s can be acquired even if there is no sound absorption on ceiling which is a general practice executed in Korea. Specially, it was found that if partial area of ceiling would be treated as reflective with the ratio of sound absorption and reflection as 2:1, almost similar acoustic parameters of $C_{50}$, $D_{50}$, RASTI (Rapid Speech Transmission Index) and higher sound levels could be acquired in comparison with the case of entire sound absorption on ceiling.

This paper proposes an approach to fused navigation of an unmanned surface vehicle(USV) and to detection of the outlier or interference of global positioning system(GPS). The method fuses available sensor measurements through extended Kalman filter(EKF) to find the location and attitude of the USV. The method uses error covariance of EKF for detection of GPS outlier or interference. When outlier or interference of the GPS is detected, the method excludes GPS data from navigation process. The measurements to be fused for the navigation are GPS, acceleration, angular rate, magnetic field, linear velocity, range and bearing to acoustic beacons. The method is tested through simulated data and measurement data produced through ground navigation. The results show that the method detects GPS outlier or interference as well as the GPS recovery, which frees navigation from the problem of GPS abnormality.

Cure monitoring and nondestructive characteristics of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were evaluated by the measurements of electrical resistance and acoustic emission (AE). Logarithmic electrical resistivity of the untreated single-carbon fiber composite increased suddenly to infinity when the fiber fracture occurred, whereas that of the electrodeposited composite increased relatively broadly up to infinity. As curing temperature increased. logarithmic electrical resistivity of steel fiber increased. On the other hand, electrical resistance of carbon fiber decreased due to the intrinsic electrical properties based on the band theory. The apparent modulus of the electrodeposited composite was higher than that of the untreated composite due to the improved interfacial shear strength (IFSS).

Field measurements of directional waves were carried out during the summer of 2002 at two coastal sites in water of finite depth. A couple of general purpose instruments were used employing acoustic Doppler technology. The aim of the study was to investigate the spatial behavior of the directional movement of waves as they come ashore. In total,74 tests were carried out during which sea states of low to moderate intensity were recorded. A great number of these runs displayed bimodal characteristics of the spreading function at high frequencies. It was found that in general, the frequency-integrated directional width tends to broaden as the water shoals and when refraction effects are negligible. This is attributed to wave-wave interactions that become pronounced in shallow water. The same directional width showed, also, a tendency to increase with increasing peak frequency of the sea state spectrum. The behavior of the kurtosis of the spreading function was also examined. It was found that for higher frequencies this index tends to increase in wave spectra above a certain sea severity threshold.
