In this study, the acoustic response technique was applied to evaluate the maturity of melon nondestructively. The acoustic response signals through melon were obtained by microphone and signal conditioner with the lapse of days after fruit set. The acoustic parameters such as resonant frequencies and the spectrum energy ratio were analyzed. To investigate the relation between acoustic parameters and firmness of melon, the compression test was performed. Three resonant frequencies representing f1, f2 and f3 were 150 to 250 Hz, 300 to 400 Hz, and 450 to 550 Hz, respectively. The resonant frequencies were shifted to the lower frequencies and the magnitude of spectrum decreased as the maturity of melon increased. Some significant correlations were found between melon firmness and the spectrum energy ratio in some frequency ranges. It is possible to estimate the maturity of melon by acoustic response technique.

Modal parameters determine the frequency response characteristics of vibration system or acoustic system. When the two systems are fully coupled, however, coupling changes the vibrational and acoustic model parameters into those of the coupled system. In this case, it is very difficult to obtain the modified model parameters and response characteristics. In this paper, coupling effect is analytically investigated on the natural frequency, mode and frequency response characteristics. The result can be applied to understand and to design the frequency response characteristics of the vehicle passenger compartment.

로켓엔진에서 발생하는 음향 불안정성의 정성적 경향성을 파악하기 위해 축대칭 연소실에서의 음향파 응답 특성을 수치해석적으로 조사하였다. 주로 작동조건의 변화와 외부교란의 가진 주파수 변화에 따른 응답 특성을 계산하였다. 외부교란으로 연소실 입구부분의 전압이 정현파 형태로 섭동하도록 인위적으로 부여하였다. 음향 응답의 정성적 경향성이 유지되는 범위내에서, 분무 연소과정에 수반되는 여러 가지 물리 화학적인 과정들을 단순화하였다. 먼저, 주어진 작동조건에서 정상상태의 연소장을 구하고, 다음 단계로 압력섭동에 대한 연소장의 거동을 시간의 경과에 따라 구하였다. 작동조건의 변화에 따른 음향파 응답의 계산 결과, 반응 지역에서 약한 강도의 화염이 형성되는 경우 민감한 응답이 나타나 불안정안 압력분포를 나타냈다. 또한, 가진되는 압력 섭동의 주파수에 따라 응답 특성이 변하였고, 특히 높은 가진 주파수의 압력 섭동에 대해서 불안정한 응답이 나타났다. 해석 결과로 나타난 거시적 현상의 이해를 돕기위해, 기존의 화염소 모델을 채택한 음향파 응답 연구 결과와의 상관성을 찾아 본 해석 결과를 분석하였다.

Extinction characteristics and acoustic response of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flamelet in turbulent flames in combustion chambers. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases linearly with pressure and then decreases, and increases again at high pressures. Thus, flames are classified into three pressure regimes. Such nonmonotonic behavior is caused by the change in chemical kinetic behavior as pressure rises. The investigation of acoustic-pressure response in each regime, for better understanding of combustion instability, shows different characteristics depending on pressure. At low pressures, pressure-rise causes the increase in flame temperature and chain branching/recombination reaction rates, resulting in increased heat release. Therefore, amplification in pressure oscillation is predicted. Similar phenomena are predicted at high pressures. At moderate pressures, weak amplification is predicted since flame temperature and chain branching reaction rate decreases as pressure rises. This acoustic response can be predicted properly only with detailed chemistry or proper reduced chemistry.

Acoustic response control of a comer-pinned plate using piezoelectric wafers was studied, both theoretically and experimentally. Three different sizes of aluminum alloy plates were used and available ball joints were employed to hold the plate at the four comers. The plate with the largest aspect ratio showed the largest and most clear responses to the acoustic excitation in the range of frequencies (0~200Hz), and sound pressure levels (80~100dB) as predicted. The reduction of the acoustic response of the plate by piezoelectric actuator was very significant, more than expected, but abatement of the sound transmission through the plate was only slightly altered by the piezoelectric actuator. This work is an original work extending earlier work with doors excited by acoustic fields. The important difference is the used of ball joints to simulate the joints.

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.

Acoustic response control of a corner-pinned plate using piezoelectric wafers was studied, both theoretically and experimentally. Three different sizes of aluminum alloy plates were used and available ball joints were employed to hold the plate at the four comers. The plate with the largest aspect ratio showed the largest and most clear responses to the acoustic excitation in the range of frequencies $(0\sim200Hz)$, and sound pressure levels $(80\sim100dB)$ as predicted. The reduction of the acoustic response of the plate by piezoelectric actuator was very significant, more than expected, but abatement of the sound transmission through the plate was only slightly altered by the piezoelectric actuator. This work is an original work extending earlier work with doors excited by acoustic fields. The important difference is the used of ball joints to simulate the joints.

Theoretical analysis Is carried out to identify the modal coupling effect between some particular acoustic modes of a vehicle compartment cavity and vibration modes of body panels like side doors, roof or floor. A simplified panel-cavity coupled model is investigated on the coupled resonance frequencies, modes and frequency response characteristics. Through parametric study, It Is possible to explain how the acoustic response of a coupled system will be determined by the vibration and acoustic property of the individual panel and cavity system. Full coupled system shows some interesting features different from those of the semi-coupled system In frequency, mode and acoustic response.

Acoustic pressure response and NO formation of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are numerically studied by employing counterflow diffusion flame as a model flame let in turbulent flames in combustion chambers. The numerical results show that extinction strain rate increases linearly with pressure and then decreases, and increases again at high pressures. Thus, flames are classified into three pressure regimes. Such non-monotonic behavior is caused by the change in chemical kinetic behavior as pressure rises. Acoustic pressure response in each regime is investigated based on the Rayleigh criterion. At low pressures, pressure-rise causes the increase in flame temperature and chain branching/recombination reaction rates, resulting in increased heat release. Therefore, amplification in pressure oscillation is predicted. Similar phenomena are predicted at high pressures. At moderate pressures, weak amplification is predicted. Emission index of NO shows similar behaviors as to the peak-temperature variation with pressure.

It is necessary to study on acoustic and vibratory response of a MEMS resonant accelerometer before applying to military applications. In this paper, we analyze why the resonant accelerometer reacts to an acoustic wave and a high frequency vibration. And we describe experimental results on acoustic and vibratory response of the accelerometer. The accelerometer consists of a proof mass and a dual ended tuning fork. It is a differential resonant accelerometer with arranging a pair of accelerometers. The mode shape was analyzed to find out the input mode frequency by using a FEM simulation. Some experiments regarding the acoustic noise was carried out by using a tweeter and a microphone in the anechoic room. Results showed that the accelerometer reacted to the acoustic wave and vibration which had the input mode frequency as we had expected. We showed experimentally not only that the susceptibility of the accelerometer to an acoustic wave was 70 dB but also that the effectiveness of applying an acoustic absorber and a metal case was 20 dB, respectively. Also, we could minimize the vibratory response property of the accelerometer by installing a IMU with a silicone rubber mount pad.
