This paper discusses the development of an acoustic vector channel simulator for the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system. The channel simulator consists of transmission module, acoustic channel model, receiver, beamformer, and adaptive equalizer. The source signal (QPSK) is generated by the specified parameters. The transmitted signal generates multipath signals which have a different delay, amplitude and doppler frequency. The paper presents in details the approach to the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system according to the antenna structure and the various baseband signal processing techniques.

Helical gear excitation is transmitted to a gearbox through the shafts and bearings and the vibration of the gearbox radiates the noise in the air. Therefore gearbox modeling is essential to evaluate the gear noise. This work deals with vibration and acoustic analysis of a cylindrical shell-type gearbox with/without holes excited by helical gears and focuses on the development of the simple gearbox model. To do so, helical gears and bearing forces are calculated. Gearbox with/without holes is modeled by the aluminum end plates and PMMA cylindrical shell body. The vibration mode and the forced harmonic response were calculated by the commercial FE software and the end plate of the gearbox is more contributed to vibration than the body. Acoustic analysis was also conducted by the commercial acoustic software and a cylindrical shell type gearbox with/without holes has the similar vibro-acoustic characteristics.

For a panel contribution of the passenger vehicle compartment, a model was created for acoustic analysis of the passenger vehicle compartment and through the acoustic normal modal analysis, frequencies and mode shapes of the resonance modes were calculated. Also, the contribution analysis of each panel was executed using acoustic reciprocal theorem, and through this analysis, normalized responses at the particular point indicate the relative contribution of each panel for generating noise and vibration

The steady-state response for a coupled structure-acoustic-cavity systme has been investigated by numerical technique using a directly coupled finite element method(FEM) and Boundary Element Method(BEM) model. The Laplace tranformed matrix equations for the structure and the acoustic cavity are coupled directly satisfying the necessary equilibrium and compatibility conditions. The coupled FEM-BEM code is verified by comparing its prediction for an example with known analytical, numerical and experimental results. The example involves a coupled structure-acoustic-cavity system which is a box-type cavity with one end as experimentally excited pinned-pinned plate.

Resilient mounting is effective measures to reduce the structure-borne noise and radiated noise for many applications. The acoustic stiffness (frequency-dependent stiffness) of resilient mounts is an important parameter required in order to model vibration isolation with high accuracy. It is general to use measurement method for obtaining acoustic stiffness of complex resilient mounts under static preload. In this paper, the principles of measuring acoustic stiffness were described and the developed test apparatus was introduced. Also, the feasibility of the test apparatus is illustrated by measurement results of a resilient mount.

For the purpose of controlling the coupling between the car body panels and passenger compartment, experimental investigation of an acoustic cavity with an air gap is carried out to reveal how the air gap influences the acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity. The acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity is closely related with the booming noise. The experimental results show that a very small air gap can change the acoustic modal characteristics of the cavity and, as a result, the air gap can be an important factor in controlling the booming noise for comfortable and safe passenger compartment.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field in terms of severe channel environments such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of the image transmission using vertical sensor array instead of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation diagram, and received image quality.

Combustion-driven oscillations in a surface burner have been investigated to clarify their characteristics. A model combustor is made and the oscillation frequencies are measured for various dimensions of the combustor. It is found that there are two modes of oscillations; one is the 'acoustic mode' at high frequencies, associated with the acoustic mode of the combustion system and the other is the 'combustion mode' at low frequencies around 100 Hz, associated with the instability of the flame. Acoustic mode is excited when the surface burner is placed where the phase of particle velocity leads that of acoustic pressure by $90^{\circ}$, for all the combustion conditions. Combustion mode is driven at high combustion rate by the lift of unstable flame near the lower limit of the combustible equivalence ratio. Combustion mode is greatly influenced by the inlet temperature of the premixed gas. When the inlet temperature is very high, the combustion mode does not occur.

In order to develop an inspection algorithm for an automatic eggshell inspection system, acoustic impulse response with neural network method was studied. An improved error backpropagation algorithm was selected as a loaming rule of neural network, and three layer network was chosen for the neural network architecture. Acoustic signals in time domain and theirs power spectrum were studied as the input to the neural network. The classification feasibility and success rate were investigated in terms of statistical analysis and neural network approach. As a result, the success rate was 95% with the statistical model having five independent variables. Among the neural network models studied, the power spectrum of acoustic signal as the input with 64 input neurons and the two impact data showed the success rate of 95.5% which was slightly higher than of statistical analysis.

The acoustic intensity in the very near field of a vibrating surface reveals information about the location of sound sources and sinks. A system model of tennis racket was developed from simultaneous measurement of excitation force, surface vibration and the near field sound pressure. The characteristics of structural dynamics were obtained by standard experimental modal analysis techniques while the sound radiation characteristics were determined by estimating the acoustic intensity. In this paper, the information about vibration behviour was obtained by acoustic intensity method and some, experiments for verification were carried out. Close correlation was found between experimentally determined acoustic intensity and vibration mode patterns of the tennis racket.
