Insertion loss prediction of large acoustical enclosures using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) method is presented. The SEA model consists of three elements: sound field inside the enclosure, vibration energy of the enclosure panel, and sound field outside the enclosure. It is assumed that the space surrounding the enclosure is sufficiently large so that there is no energy flow from the outside to the wall panel or to air cavity inside the enclosure. The comparison of the predicted insertion loss to the measured data for typical large acoustical enclosures shows good agreements. It is found that if the critical frequency of the wall panel falls above the frequency region of interest, insertion loss is dominated by the sound transmission loss of the wall panel and averaged sound absorption coefficient inside the enclosure. However, if the critical frequency of the wall panel falls into the frequency region of interest, acoustic power from the sound radiation by the wall panel must be added to the acoustic power from transmission through the panel.

In a reciprocating compressor, highly impulsive pressure fluctuations induced by a reciprocating piston give rise to serious noise and vibration problems. A muffler is frequently used to reduce this impulsive noise, but also has adverse effects on compressor performance due to additional pressure drop and heat transfer of refrigerants through it. Therefore, the flow and acoustic performances of mufflers used in a compressor should be considered simultaneously. In this study, both of flow and acoustic performances of mufflers are investigated using computational fluid dynamic techniques by solving full three-dimensional compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. For validation purpose, the numerical method is initially applied to predict the transmission loss of a simple expansion muffler, and its predicted results show good agreements with theoretical and experimental results. Then, the flow and acoustic performances of an existing muffler is numerically investigated. On the basis of the analysis results, a new muffler is purposed and its performances are compared with the existing one. Improved performances of the new muffler are confirmed.

Wireless communication systems are inevitable for efficient underwater activities. Because of the poor propagation characteristics of light and electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves are generally used for the underwater wireless communication. Although there are many kinds of information type, visual images take an essential role especially for search and identification activities. For this reason, we developed an acoustic-based underwater image transmission system under a dual use technology project supported by MOCIE (Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy). For the application to complicated and time-varying underwater environments all-digital transmitter and receiver systems are investigated. Array acoustic transducers are used at the receiver, which have the center frequency of 32kHz and the bandwidth of 4kHz. To improve transmission speed and quality, various algorithms and systems are used. The system design techniques will be discussed in detail including image compression/ decompression system, adaptive beam- forming, fast RLS adaptive equalizer, ${\partial}/4$ QPSK (Quadrilateral Phase Shift Keying) modulator/demodulator, and convolution coding/ Viterbi. Decoding.

This paper proposed a new formula for predicting acoustic power transmission loss of simple expansion chamber with two internal partitions. Seventeen cases of computational results were performed and the database was constructed for the TL according to the various positions of internal partitions. Using this database, firstly, the formula for the peak values of TL at certain frequencies was developed using the least square estimation. Secondly, the formula for the TL curve could be obtained automatically with the input data of the positions of two internal partitions. The formula of TL developed in this paper showed good agreement with computational results. This formula will be helpful for the positioning of internal partitions to improve TL at target frequencies.

It is well known that monolithic glass has specific coincidence dip allowing transmittance of noise around the critical frequency. Laminated glass, made of a polyvinyle butyral(PVB) interlayer sandwiched by two panes of glass sheet, has long served for the advantage in noise attenuation properties as well as the safety purpose. More research on the improvement of sound insulation performance is needed, considering much of the noise is still transmitted through the glass. As a preliminary study, authors have made several test specimens, varied combinations of glass and interlayer film, to optimize the acoustic performance. Experimental investigation was carried out to study the sound transmission loss of test specimens in the reverberation chamber by using sound intensity method. Several new applications, instead of the existing PVB laminated glass, show better results in sound transmission loss and low temperature have a bad influence on the acoustic performance.

본 논문은 덕트 내 소음을 저감하기 위해 저주파 대역에서 작동하는 음향메타물질 소음기를 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 지그재그 도파관 구조물과 헬름홀츠 형상을 조합하여, 음파의 공간상 진행 속도를 줄이는 고 굴절 메타물질 기반 음향 소음기를 설계하였다. 파장보다 매우 작은 도파관에서 점성 및 열 감쇠 효과를 계산하기 위해 점성 및 열 매쉬를 도입하여 Finite Element Method(FEM) 해석을 진행하였다. 4-Microphone Method를 이용하여 해석 결과로부터 반사율, 투과율과 흡음률을 구했으며, 지그재그 구조 소음기의 구조물 간격을 변화시켜 차단 주파수와 투과손실을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 메타물질들을 직렬 및 병렬 배열하여 광대역으로 소음을 차단하는 메타물질 소음기를 제시하였다.

The walls of modern train cars are required to have higher transmission loss since modern train have had high speed and light weight. The method based on Reverberation Chamber like KS F 2808 could be used to measure transmission loss. However, this method has difficulty in that constrained Standard of it requires extremely large facilities. Recently, the method based on Scale Reverberation Chamber is used as an alternative to Reverberation Chamber. The method of Scale Reverberation Chamber is known to be small and economical but it provides standing wave that directly influences measurement error. Therefore, this research is focus on predicting standing waves based on method of FFM and reducing measurement error by changing shape of chamber.

An acoustic transmission loss analysis method for mufflers with complex geometry is developed using MSC/NASTRAN on the basis of acoustic-structural analogy and two-microphone method. In this study, mufflers with simple and complex shapes are analyzed using this method and compared with theoretical and experimental results to verify it. Applying this method to design of discharge muffler in a rotary compressor, we obtained 2dB(A) of noise reduction in the range of lower than 1300Hz. Futhermore, adopting this technique for a suction muffler in reciprocal compressor, more than 10dB(A) noise reduction at 500Hz, and in total, 3dB(A) noise reduction is achieved.
