닫힘균열과 같은 고체-고체의 접촉계면에서 접촉 음향 비선형성을 평가하기 위해 벌크 투과파를 이용하는 기존의 전통적인 음향 비선형 기술의 경우 현장 적용하는데 있어서 송수신 탐촉자를 장착하기 위해 구조물 내부로 접근하는 것은 접근한계성의 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서, 고체-고체의 접촉계면에서 음향 비선형성을 측정하기 위해 새로운 반사기법을 제안하였고 이는 대상재료의 동일한 면에서 송신과 수신을 하여 현장 적용성에 매우 편리한 기법이다. 이를 위해, 접촉압력에 대한 멱함수 모델를 통한 선형 그리고 비선형 강성을 추정하고 이를 기반으로 계면에서 반사된 초음파의 비선형 파라미터를 이론적으로 계산하였다. A16061-T6 시편에 대한 접촉압력에 따른 접촉계면 실험 결과들은 이론적인 예측과 매우 잘 일치하였으며 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 반사모드 기술의 유효성을 검증하였다.

Hydro-acoustic surveys with scientific echo sounder were carried out to estimate the total density and distribution of the juvenile cod in Jinhae bay, Korea. The surveys were conducted 4 times from May to June using 2 frequency method (38kHz and 120kHz) and beam trawl were used to investigate the species composition. Also the catch amounts of juvenile cod were compared with the cod density estimated by the hydro-acoustic method. It was confirmed that the juvenile cod was stayed in Jinhae bay in early June and There was the relationship between catch of juvenile cod and the estimated density by hydro-acoustic survey. The number of juvenile cod was consequently about 365,000 fish (CV 12.9%) in May and 113,000 fish (CV 9.2%) in May based on the hydro-acoustic data.

최근 드론과 같은 멀티로터 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, 무인항공기)의 산업 범위가 크게 확대됨에 따라, UAV를 활용한 데이터의 수집 및 처리, 분석에 대한 요구도 함께 증가하고 있다. 그러나 UAV를 이용해서 수집된 음향 데이터는 UAV의 모터 소음과 바람 소리 등으로 크게 손상되어, 음향 데이터의 처리 및 분석이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 UAV에 연결된 마이크를 통해 수신된 음향 신호로부터 목표 음향 신호의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 단일 채널 음향 향상 기술 중 하나인 densely connected dilated convolutional network를 음향 신호의 채널 간 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 확장하였으며, 그 결과 SDR, PESQ, STOI과 같은 평가 지표에서 기존 연구 대비 좋은 성능을 보였다.

For evaluating the feasibility of treating recurrent lesions in the vaginal cuff and cervix by hyperthermia, ultrasound applicators were designed, constructed, and characterized. For the treatment A half-cylindrical transducer Cd=1cm, length=lcm) and cylindrical transducer (d=2.5cm, length= 1.5cm) were used to construct ovoid type and cylindrical applicators. For the ovoid type applicator, each element was operated at 1.5MHz and characterized by measuring transducer efficiency and acoustic power distribution. Thermocouple probes were used to measure the temperature rise in phantom. The element sizes used in this study were selected to be comparable for high dose rate brachytherapy colpostat applicator. Each element was powered separately to achieve a desired temperature pattern in a target. The acoustic output power as a function of applied electric power of the element 1 and 2 was linear over this 1 to 40 W range and efficiencies were 32.2${\pm}$3.4% and 46.2${\pm}$0.8%, respectively. The temperature measurements in phantom showed that 6$^{\circ}C$ temperature rise was achieved at 2 cm from the applicator surface. As a conclusion, the ability of the ultrasound colpostat applicator to be used for hyperthermia was demonstrated by measuring acoustic output power, ultrasound field distribution, and temperature rise in phantom. Based on the characteristics of this applicator, it has the potential to be useful for inducing hyperthermnia to the vaginal cuff in clinic.

ADCPs have been widely used to estimate the dynamic characteristics and biomass of sound scattering layers (SSLs), and swimming speed of fish schools for analyzing SSLs spatial distribution and/or various behavior patterns. This result showed that the verification of the mean volume backscattering strength (MVBS or averaged SV, dB) acquired by the ADCP would be necessary for a quantitative analysis on the spatial distribution and the biomass estimation of the SSLs or fish school when ADCP is used for estimating their biomass. In addition, the calibrated sphere method was used to verify values of each MVBS obtained from 4 beams of ADCP (153.6 kHz) on the base of 3 frequencies (38, 120, 200 kHz) of Scientific echo sounder's split beam system. Then, the measured SV values were compared and analyzed in its Target Strength (TS, dB) values estimated by a theoretical acoustic scattering model.

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.

Combustion instability is critical problem in developing liquid rocket engine. There have been many efforts to solve this problem. In this study, the method was sought through the injector as part of these efforts to suppress combustion instability. If the injector can suppress the disturbance coming from the supply line as a kind of buffer it will serve to reduce combustion instability. Especially we target at gas propellant oscillation in gas-centered swirl coaxial injector. The phenomenon is simulated with acoustic excitation of speaker. The film thickness response at injector exit was measured by using a liquid film electrode. Also the response of spray to the disturbance was observed by high-speed photography. Gas-liquid momentum flux ratio and the frequency of feeding gas oscillation were changed to investigate the effect of these experimental parameters. The trend of response by varying these parameters and the cause of weak points was studied to suggest the better design of injector for suppressing combustion instability.

Many Korean children have difficulty learning English vowels. The gestures inside the oral and pharyngeal cavities are hard to control when they cannot see the gestures and the target vowel system is quite different from that of Korean. This study attempts to collect children's acoustic data of twelve English vowels published by Hillenbrand et al. (1995) online and to examine the acoustic features of English vowels for phoneticians and English teachers. The author used Praat to obtain the data systematically at six equidistant timepoints over the vowel segment avoiding any obvious errors. Results show inherent acoustic properties for vowels from the children's distribution of vowel duration, f0 and intensity values. Second, children's gestures for each vowel coincide with the regression analysis of all formant values at different timepoints regardless of the vocal fold and tract difference. Third, locus points appear higher than those of American males and females. Their gestures along the timepoints display almost similar patterns. From the results the author concludes that vowel formant trajectories provide useful and important information on dynamic articulatory gestures, which may be applicable to Korean children's education and correction of English vowels. Further studies on the developmental study of vowel formants and pitch values are desirable.

본 논문은 가상현실 음향 구현을 위한 심층신경망 기반 사운드 보간 방법에 관한 것으로서, 이를 통해 두 지점에서 취득한 음향 신호들을 사용하여 두 지점 사이의 음향을 생성한다. 산술평균이나 기하평균 같은 통계적 방법으로 사운드 보간을 수행할 수 있지만 이는 실제 비선형 음향 특성을 반영하기에 미흡하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 두 지점과 목표 지점의 음향신호를 기반으로 심층신경망을 훈련하여 사운드 보간을 시도하였으며, 실험결과 통계적 방법에 비해 심층신경망 기반 사운드 보간 방법의 성능이 우수함을 보였다.

Density and sound speed contrasts (g and h, respectively), and swimming angle were measured for sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) without swimbladder. The density contrast was measured by the volume displacement method while the sound speed contrast was measured by the acoustic measurements of travel time (time-of-flight method). The swimming angle was measured by dividing it into daytime, nighttime, daytime feeding and nighttime feeding. The g was 1.001 to 1.067 with an average (± standard deviation) of 1.032 (± 0.017), and the h was 1.007 to 1.022 with an average (± standard deviation) of 1.015 (± 0.003). The swimming angles (mean ± standard deviation) were 16.8 ± 10.3° during the daytime, 1.9 ± 12.3° during the nighttime, 30.2 ± 12.6° in the daytime feeding and 35.0 ± 13.2° in the nighttime feeding. These results will provide important parameters input to calculate theoretical scattering models for estimating the acoustic target strength of sandfish.
