Among the factors considered in the design stage of a space launch vehicle using liquid propellant, research has been focused out on the pogo phenomenon, longitudinal dynamic instability. The pogo phenomenon refers to the instability that the longitudinal vibration of the launch vehicle structure causes a change in the pressure and flow rate of the fluids in propulsion system, and this change re-excites the fuselage structure. This mechanism constitutes a closed system to gradually increase the vibration of the launch vehicle. This paper specifically focuses on the dynamic analysis of pressure and flow changes in the propulsion system. Based on the example study of the space shuttle, the acoustic modal analysis of the propulsion system is performed to predict the modes of the supply line causing instability of the fuselage.

A Possibility of combustion instability on longitudinal mode has a high level at large scale of L/D. Solid propellant has a metal particle and a grain of control to pressure oscillation. Solid rocket motor in slotted-tube grain controls pressure oscillation of longitudinal mode. Slotted-tube grain restrains longitudinal 1st pressure oscillation. But cavity volume of aft. insulation ablation amplifies 2nd pressure o scillation by vortext shedding. A study has suppressed combustion instability and vortex shedding by modified 4 slotted tube solid rocket motor design.

The determination of the natural frequencies and mode shapes for thin conical shell is an important step not only in the investigation of the dynamic response of the composite structures such as missile cone, mose firings, but also in the analysis of the acoustic behavior of bells. A Rayleigh-Ritz procedure was used to determine the natural frequencies for a certain class of mode shapes of a thin conical shell built in on the edge with the smaller radius and free on the other edge. Both bending and extensional energy are included in the analysis. This paper described the experiments on the two natural frequencies which are present in association with two preferential modal directions, as a result of imperfection of the thin conical shell. Experimental work was conducted on two different bronze conical shells. One of these was specially designed to the effects of the adding distributed mass to the end of the conical shell. The other shells were identical in all dimensions except that of the thickness to the end of the conical shell. In this paper, the effect of a adding mass to a conical shell was investigated. Experimental result was that the magnitude of the natural frequency rate and the increase of depth of beat frequency depend upon the location of adding lumped mass on the surface of the conical shell.

In the study, energy flow analysis is performed to predict the performance of silencers. To date, deterministic approaches such as finite element method have been widely used for silencer analysis. However, they have limitations in analyzing large structures and mid-high frequency ranges due to unreasonable computational costs and errors. However, silencers used for ships and off-shore plants are much larger than those used in other engineering fields. Hence, energy governing equation, which is significantly efficient for systems with high modal density, is solved for silencers in ships and off-shore plants. The silencer is divided into two different acoustic media, air and absorption materials. The discontinuity of energy density at interfaces is solved via hypersingular integrals for the 3-D modified Helmholtz equation to analyze multi-domain problems with the energy flow boundary element method. The method is verified by comparing the measurements and analysis results for ship silencers over mid-high frequency ranges. The comparisons confirm good agreement between the measurement and analysis results. We confirm that the applied analysis method is useful for large silencers in mid-high frequency ranges. With the proven procedures, energy flow analysis can be performed for various types of silencer used in ships and off-shore plants in the first stage of the design.

It is well known that the major noise source of Refrigerator is compressor, and due to the tendency of higher quality and more lighting of manufactured goods, the importance of prevention and reduction of a noise is increasing. In this paper, in order to prevent and reduce such a noise, sound pressure level and acoustic intensity are measured for compressor, and the result of these measurements, the noise radiation characteristics of compressor are reconized. And the experimental modal analysis is applied to the compressor to identify the noise sourcce. As the results of this study, we come to know that the spring, which is used to reduce vibration, does not reduce vibration efficiently, and compressor shell and its mounting system effect the noise radiation.

In this paper, derivation of the STL (Sound Transmission Loss) of a square plate installed in an impedance tube is discussed using an analytic method. Coupled motion of the plate vibration and acoustic field is considered. Vibration of the plate and pressure field inside the tube are expressed in terms of the infinite series of modal functions. Under the plane wave assumption, it is shown that consideration of the first few modes yields sufficiently accurate results. When the boundary of the plate is clamped, vibration mode is assumed as a multiplication of the beam modes corresponding to the crosswise directions. The natural frequencies of the clamped plate are calculated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. It is found that the STL shows a dip at the lowest natural frequency of the plate, and increases as the frequency decreases below the natural frequency. Comparison of the result in this paper with the STL obtained by measurements and FE computations in the reference shows an excellent agreement.
