Linear acoustic analysis has been performed to elucidate damping characteristics of acoustic cavities. Results have shown that resonant frequencies of acoustic cavity obtained by classical theoretic approach and present linear analysis are somewhat different from each other. This difference is due to the limitation of classical theory. To quantify the damping characteristics, acoustic impedance has been introduced and resultant absorption and conductance have been evaluated. Satisfactory agreement has been achieved with previous experiment. Finally the design procedure for optimal tuning of acoustic cavity has been established

An experimental study on the characteristics of collection efficiency for electrostatic precipitator under the action of acoustic energy in the gas stream was performed. In the experiment, the acoustic energy which has 2 kHz and 141 dB was applied to electrostatic precipitator inlet, and the test parameters were used in terms of the magnitude of gas velocity. From the results of experiment, the collection efficiency of ESP was increased due to acoustic energy, and this effect was much clearer at high velocity. This means that the acoustic energy can play an important role in the enlargement of specific collection area of the electrostatic precipitator.

In this paper, the characteristic response of reflected signals of acoustic reflection microscope, V(z) phenomenon, has been studied and a new type of NDE technique has been presented. 10 Won coin, aluminium, IC component, and kevlar-epoxy samples have been used for the experiment of NDE and the acoustic microscope operating at a center frequency of 3 MHz has been used in the focused or defocused mode of operation. In experiment, it has been shown that the acoustic microscope has the resolution of $500\mu m$ and the defects present on the surface and near surface of samples have been detected by acoustic transducer and imaged on a monitor, and the variation of the contrast of image for samples has been in good agreement with V(z) phenomenon.

A linear acoustic analysis has been performed to elucidate damping characteristics of acoustic cavities in a liquid rocket combustor. Results have shown that resonant frequencies of acoustic cavity obtained by classical theoretic approach and by the present linear analysis are somewhat different with each other. This difference is attributed to the limitation of the simplified classical theory. To quantify the damping characteristics, acoustic impedance has been introduced and resultant absorption coefficient and conductance have been evaluated. Satisfactory agreement has been achieved with previous experiment. Finally the design procedure for an optimal tuning of acoustic cavity has been established.

In case of indoor gymnastics training floor, in view of its characteristics, since it is simultaneously required the related smooth communication between the coach and the player, also the acoustic performance regarding to the clearness of music, besides the sport activity, the consideration about the acoustic character has entered the stage as an indispensable element. On such viewpoint, recently constructed dome-typed gymnastic training floor was optimized acoustic design with remodeling through acoustic simulation test. And acoustic satisfaction degree and reaction was attempted to investigate about the gymnastics training floor estimating value of human's psychological(sensual) degree using auralization that enables to experience the virtual sound field at the stage of design. As the result of investigation about the research on the space of object, it could be known that the valuation regarding to the acoustic performance of 'after-improvement' was distinctly more refined than that of 'before-improvement'. It is now considering that such result of the study can be utilized as the useful data which enables to improve the retrenchment effect of the construction cost as well as the acoustic capability, by means of the prediction control on the acoustic problem from the stage of design, for the occasion when the similar indoor sport gymnasium is planning to build for the near future.

The case study for this research is a middle school music room located in Iksan City, Korea. Although the room is used for teaching music, indiscreet sound-absorbing materials were applied within the space. Accordingly, a number of difficulties have been experienced when using the room. During a music lesson, the sound-volume is inadequate for music appreciation, while the music performance has an arid sound due to an insufficient echo. In order to control the obstructive factors resulting from a short Reverberation Time, the acoustic factor is optimized in this study by using an Acoustic Simulation, following an arrangement of Acoustic Design. A Psycho-acoustics Experiment was conducted using the Auralizational Technique, whereby the Virtual Acoustic Field can be experienced at the design stage.

The purpose of this study was to explore the acoustic characteristics of sexy voice. In this study, we measured acoustic parameters (fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and nasalance) of a sustained vowel sound produced by 40 actors (20 males and 20 females) and 40 non-actors (20 males and 20 females). Digital audio recordings were made in the sustained vowel |a| for acoustic analyses using Praat (version 4.1.9) and Nasal View (version 4.5). Twenty voice pathologists participated in the listening experiment and judged the degree of sexiness on a 7-point scale. The results showed that fundamental frequency, shimmer and nasalance had significant differences between actors and non-actors. The acoustic parameters of sexy voice matched perceptual aspects of a previous study: Low fundamental frequency-low pitch and high shimmer-husky voice. On the other hand, the nasalance score did not match that of the previous study: Decreased nasalance had a higher score on sexiness scale judged by the listeners. It would be desirable to study the voice quality by analyzing and controlling more acoustic and auditory parameters for practical applications in the future.

This paper describes the propagation characteristics of acoustic signals as a function of distance from the location of partial discharge(PD) occurrence to analyze correlation between discharge magnitude and acoustic signal in insulation oil. To measure small acoustic signals produced by PD, we fabricated an amplifier and simulated PD at a needle-plane electrode system set in insulation oil. The amplifier has the gain of 40 dB and the frequency bandwidth of 1.6 kHz$\sim$1.6 MHz. These are enough characteristics for the measurement of acoustic signals. After a comparative calibration experiment by a standard pulse generator and a coupling capacitor, we analyzed the propagation characteristics of acoustic signals in insulation oil.

Underwater acoustic channels are generally recognized as one of the most difficult communication media because of the multipath propagation, dispersion, and so on. MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output) techniques have been actively pursued in underwater acoustic communications recently to increase the data rate over the bandwidth-limited channels. The transmit diversity techniques can be applied in this case, and one of them is Alamouti's scheme. In this paper the performances of the transmit diversity technique are evaluated via experiment. Two transmitters and two receivers were used in experiment, and the experiment was performed in indoor water tank. The error rate 5~8% was confirmed in experimental results, and these are the improved values than the error rate 14.8% for SISO(Single-input single-output) channel under same data rate condition.

In this paper, we study the application of DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) in underwater acoustic communication for robust the ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference. We confirm the application of DSSS in underwater acoustic communication in underwater by the simulation with underwater channel impulse response and experiment. As a simulation result, the BER of QPSK technique is $1.14{\times}10^{-1}$ and the BER of DSSS technique is $6.73{\times}10^{-3}$. And we performed the experiment of DSSS technique in underwater. As a experiment result, the BER of QPSK technique is $3.19{\times}10^{-1}$ and the BER of DSSS technique is $5.17{\times}10^{-4}$.
