Recently, wide spread distribution of the giant jellyfish, Nemopilema nomurai, has occurred in the East China Sea. This increased distribution has caused serious problems in inshore and offshore fisheries in Korea and Japan. As a result, it is necessary to evaluate the damage caused to the fisheries by jellyfish. Accordingly, several hydroacoustic studies have been conducted to estimate the target strength (TS) of the giant jellyfish. However, the effects of fluctuation in the acoustic scattering characteristics on swimming patterns have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we theoretically estimated the effects of changes in the acoustic scattering pattern on the swimming behavior of jellyfish using the Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) model. The results confirmed that acoustic scattering of jellyfish results in a significant change in their swimming pattern. Specifically, our theoretical estimation indicated that the TS of giant jellyfish (d=40 cm) fluctuated until 8.5 dB at 38 kHz, 13.8 dB at 70 kHz, and 15.1 dB at 120 kHz based on changes in their swimming patterns.

Several theoretical acoustic scattering models were applied to estimate the target strength (TS) for assessing the biomass of zooplankton, to overcome the difficulty of direct measurements. Acoustical scattering characteristics of copepods were estimated using three theoretical models, and the application of the models was evaluated for four frequencies of a scientific echo sounder. The scattering directivity by the body shapes of copepods at 200 kHz and 420 kHz was significantly affected by TS patterns. Averaged TS, however, were similar at higher frequencies. Consequently, a low frequency model, such as a truncated fluid sphere model, provides a good acoustical biomass estimation. The regressions of TS and 30 logL were < $TS_{200\;kHz}$ >= 30logL-118.4 ($R^2=0.716$) and < $TS_{420 kHz}$ > =30 logL-108.8 ($R^2=0.758$), respectively.

An ultrasonic resonance scattering spectroscopy technique is developed and applied for reconstructing elastic constants of a transversely isotropic cylindrical component. Immersion ultrasonic measurements are performed on tube samples made from a boron/aluminum composite material to obtain resonance frequencies and dispersion curves of different guided wave modes propagating in the tube. Theoretical analysis on the acoustic resonance scattering from a transversely isotropic cylindrical tube is also performed, from which complete backscattering and resonance scattering spectra and theoretical dispersion curves are calculated. A sensitive change of the dispersion curves to the elastic properties of the composite tube is observed for both normal and oblique incidences; this is exploited for a systematic evaluation of damage and elastic constants of the composite tube samples. The elastic constants of two boron/aluminum composite tube samples manufactured under different conditions are reconstructed through an optimization procedure in which the residual between the experimental and theoretical phase velocities (dispersion curves) is minimized.

The ship radiated noise level fluctuates by the interference between direct and reflected paths. The effect of sea surface reflection path on interference depends strongly on sea surface roughness. This paper describes error characteristics of ship acoustic signature estimation by sea surface scattering effect. The coherent reflection coefficient which explains a magnitude of sea surface scattering and its resultant interference acoustic field is analyzed quantitatively as a function of a grazing angle, effective surface height, frequency, source-receiver range and depths of source and receiver. Theoretical interference acoustic field is compared with experimental result for two different sea surfaces and five different frequencies by changing source-receiver range. It is found that both matches well each other and a magnitude of interference acoustic field is decreasing by increasing a grazing angle, effective surface height, frequency, and depths of source and receiver and decreasing source-receiver range. For given experimental conditions, the transmission anomaly which is a bias error of ship acoustic signature estimation, is about a range of 1~3 dB. The bias error of an existing ship radiated noise measurement system is also analyzed considering wind speed, source depth and frequency.

Hydrophone system has necessarily additional structures to resist installation and operation for military usage. In this paper, we assume that the hydrophone is a rigid circular cylinder and the neighborhood structure is a perfect reflector. Scattering fields by hydrophone and neighborhood structure are investigated to use a boundary element analysis program, SYSNOISE, which has an acoustic analysis capability. The pressure fields around circular cylinder with respect to the angle are evaluated.

Nonlinear scattering of difference frequency acoustic wave in a water-saturated sandy sediment was investigated. Difference frequency acoustic wave was observed to be scattered due to the nonlinearity of water-saturated sandy sediment when the collinear acoustic waves with two different fundamental frequencies are incident on the sediment. The pressure level of the difference frequency acoustic wave was 6 dB higher than the background noise level. It seems very useful to evaluate the nonlinear parameter of water-saturated sandy sediment without disturbing the sediment. Such nonlinear acoustic response of water-saturated sandy sediment can be used as background acoustic data for estimating the gas void fraction in marine gassy sandy sedimen.

The acoustic properties of anti-inflammatory egonol were investigated by using micro-Brillouin scattering spectroscopy, by use of a 6-pass tandem Fabry-Perot interferometer and an optical microscope specially modified for spectroscopic purposes. The measured Brillouin spectrum was composed of a central peak centered at zero and a Brillouin doublet arising from the longitudinal acoustic waves, i.e. propagating density fluctuations. For the first time, the glass transition of egonol was identified to be about $5^{\circ}C$ at which the Brillouin peak position and the half width showed abrupt changes. The substantial damping of acoustic phonons of egonol near the glass transition temperature indicated that the contribution of internal relaxation processes such as small-amplitude librations of side chains to the damping of acoustic phonons may be substantial depending on the internal structure of molecules.

수중에서 기포는 비선형성이 강한 음향 산란체로서 수중 기포들로부터 산란된 음파들은 강한 비선형 음향특성을 보인다. 입사 음파의 산란된 음파들은 기본 주파수에서뿐만 아니라 배진동 또는 고차진동 주파수들에서도 관측된다. 서로 다른 주파수의 두 음파가 기포에 입사되는 경우, 산란된 음파들은 입사 음파들의 합 및 차주파수에서도 관측될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수중에 형성된 기포막에 두 음파가 입사되는 경우, 기포의 비선형성에 의해 차주파수 음파의 진폭이 증폭되고 두 입사 음파의 전파방향으로 지향성이 나타남을 관측하였다. 산란된 차주파수 음파의 지향성은 일차 음원의 지향성을 사용하여 가상음원에 대한 결맞음 산란특성으로 해석하였다.

연안역의 천해 해저면에 설치된 ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, 300㎑, 1200 ㎑)를 이용, 천해에서 체적 산란강도 (volume scattering strength, Sv)의 수직분포에 대한 시변동성을 알아보았다. 수심 85m와 113m에서 ADCP로 측정한 후방 산란강도의 일주기 변동성은 동물플랑크톤 (zooplankton)으로 추측되는 산란체의 일주기 수직이동 (daily vertical migration)에 기인된 것으로 추정되었다. 그러나 수심 20m의 천해에서 관측된 산란강도의 시변동성은 경험적 직교함수 (Empirical Orthogonal Function, EOF) 분석 결과, 해저면 부근의 변화가 천해 체적 산란강도의 변동성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
