The reactor internals shall be secured in safety and structural integrity under various vibrational loading conditions. Thus, U.S. NRC, Regulatory Guide 1.20 requires the evaluation for the reactor internals due to acoustic induced vibration including the response to the reactor coolant pump pressure pulsation. This paper suggests a methodology to develop an analytical model of the core support barrel accounting for the fluid around the structure and to analyze the responses to the pump pulsation loads using acoustic structure interaction analysis. The analysis results were compared with those of US Palo Verde 1 CVAP and showed a good agreement. Thus, it is expected that the suggested methodology could be an efficient way to evaluate the response of the core support barrel to the pump pulsation loads.

Beamforming for underwater acoustic communication is affected by the broadband feature of underwater acoustic communication signal, which has the low center frequency compared to the signal bandwidth. In this paper, the baseband equivalent array signal model is derived and we present computer simulation results for the broadband finite impulse response (FIR) beamformer performance according to the FIR filter order and the tap spacing. If the FIR filter order is increased above the optimum value, the beamformer performance is degraded. Also the tap spacing is related to the optimum FIR filter order.

본 논문에서는 Cross-Spectrum법에 의한 임펄스 응답을 추정할 때의 창함수의 영향을 살펴본다. 여러종류의 창함수에 대해 전달함수의 지연시간과 창함수의 길이의 관계를 조사하고, 측정에 의해 비교 확인하였다. 음향 전달계의 임펄스 응답 추정치의 평가식을 이용하여 창함수중 Riesz 창함수의 추정 정확도가 대체로 양호함을 확인했다.

In this paper, a new pre-processing algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of stereo acoustic echo canceller. The proposed algorithm has the improved performance by the estimation error reduction of filter coefficient using input signal which was reduced reverberation of room in the basis MINT (Mu1tip1e-input/output Inverse Theorem) filtering. For real stereo speech signal and real room impulse response the results of simulation, we showed that the proposed method could improved 3∼5 dB ERLE (Echo Return Loss Enhancement) regardless of NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square) and Projection adaptive algorithm.

The sandwich type piezoelectric resonator is widely used for the acoustic sources of underwater acoustic transducers, whose important design parameters are shapes, materials, dimensions and supporting methods. Practical design method of resonators consists of manufacturing, experiments and modification so that it requires much time and expenses. In this study, an analytical design method of sandwich type piezoelectric resonators is presented based on the nonlinear optimization technique. The proposed method is applied to the design of an example resonator model in order to maximize the output powers. For the investigation of performance according to the division and their electrical connection, three types of resonators are manufactured. In addition, their dynamic characteristics such as electrical admittance and transmitting voltage response are measured and compared.

This paper describes the application of a coupled finite element-boundary element method to obtain the steady-state response of a hydrophone. The particular structure considered is a flooded piezoelectric spherical shell. The hydrophone is three-dimensionally simulated to transduce an incident plane acoustic pressure onto the outer surface of the sonar spherical shell to electrical potentials on inner and outer surfaces of the shell. The acoustic field formed from the scattered sound pressure is also simulated. And the displacement of the shell caused by the externally incident acoustic pressure is shown in temporal motion. The coupled FE-BE method is described in detail.

The nature and the sources of sound in cars is discussed in the light of many previous works, and the importance of the system resonances inside cars is suggested. An investigation of a 'boom' problem in a small size passenger car is described. It was established that the 'boom' frequencies coincided with engine firing frequency and also with several system resonances. To find out main transmission path of the noise to the car interior, various possible sources were eliminated from the investigation by means of simple modification to the vehicle. Data on the structural modes of the body, and the acoustic modes of the passenger compartment at various forcing cases were obtained to provide better understanding of the problem. It was found that the acoustic resonance responsible for the boom was controlled largely the bending motion of the floor. To investigate the effect of the structural modification to the acoustic response, center floor of the car was reinforced. a great reduction of the noise inside the car especially at the offending speed range, was achieved by this modification.

Theoretical models to study the vibro-acoustic performance of a sandwich panel are proposed. The wave propagation characteristics are analyzed, and dispersion relation is derived. The vibration Is analyzed using the Mindlin plate theory. The vibration of the compliantly supported Mindlin plate is investigated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The Timoshenko beam functions are used as trial functions. The model is applied to numerically investigate the influence of the plate mechanical properties. The vibro-acoustic properties are mostly determined by bending deformation at low frequencies. At higher frequencies, the shear deformation has a strong influence. The proposed numerical model is used to estimate the optimal panel properties that result in minimum sound radiation. With increasing dynamic stiffnesses the vibration response decreases but the radiating wavenumber components increase.

Recently the impact sound insulation performance is regarded as one of the most important factor in determining the quality of apartment house. So many studies were carried out to improve these performance and to propose an appropriate evaluation method and standard of floor impact sound insulation for apartment house by psycho-acoustic method in the laboratory. This study was carried out the field psycho-acoustic test to find a correlation between physically measured values and psychological response in apartment house, and the results will be used to establish the appropriate evaluation method and standard of floor impact sound insulation.

It is well known that the acoustic cavity inside the tire-wheel assembly contributes to vehicle interior noise and ride comfort. In this paper, we performed acoustic and structural modal testings by varying the temperature ranging from $20^{\circ}\;to\;45^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effects of temperature on acoustic cavity resonance and structural vibration characteristics for unloaded and loaded tires. The testing has given us some findings, which are reported in this paper.
