Recently, a method of measuring impulse response is widely used for a room acoustic evaluation instead of measuring reverberation time by white noise excitation. Comparing with the traditional reverberation time measurement, this method has many advantages such as good repeatability and the ability to extract various room acoustic parameters at one measurement. In this study, the author developed a measuring system that can extract mono-aural room acoustic parameters from an impulse response measured with MLS (Maximum Length Sequence) signal excitation. These room acoustic parameters include reverberation times(EDT, RT), speech intelligibilities(C50, C80, D, U50, U80, AI) and sound strength(G). This paper introduces the configuration of the developed measuring system, test results and discussions for the measurements at several rooms.

In this paper, we studied the configuration and depth measurement method of the crack in the interior of solid with scanning laser acoustic microscope. Precision measurement method of crack depth is required in SLAM because that system reconstructs the shadow image to the transmission coefficient. We proposed this method that used geometrical structure to the shadow area of SLAM images obtained from oblique incidence and the mode conversion of ultrasound in specimen and then experimented it. For this experiment, we fabricated various specimens which had the vertical line-crack with different depth and made the wedge as 20$^{\circ}$ for oblique incidence. Experimental results showed that the shadow area of SLAM images were proportional to the depth of crack. Measured depth error to the crack was less than 6% compared with practical crack depth.

This paper proposes a new beamforming algorithm for acoustic measurement by using the nested linear array. In this algorithm, the weighting is optimized by minimizing the LMS error with the initial value obtained by FIR filter design algorithm. The optimization process is applied to each sub-band, which is divided from the octave band, to produce the uniform directivity index. For the optimization pseudo inverse matrix is used for the transfer matrix. As the simulation results, it is found that the proposed algorithm can get the desired beam pattern and unform directivity index so as to be used efficiently for the acoustic measurement by using a nested linear array.

This paper purposes the measurement method of vibration intensity in building structure which is a method of measuring the intensity and the flow of vibration energy. We derived basic theory and measuring theory for a simple beam, and comparison of the experimental results with calculated results. As a result, according to the calculated value from acceleration distribution and the measurement result from the method of vibration intensity under the condition except near field of measurement zone. The measured results, show that this method is useful for measuring the vibration energy flow in building structure.

In this paper, the measurement of SAW velocity on piezoelectric ceramic is studied. It can be done by using oscilloscope and pulse generator, and measure the velocity especially when feed-through is appeared. The propagating distance was exactly calculated considering that IDT responses are obtained by convolution theory, therefore the velocity was measured by the above simple method. As the results, the measurement velocity at room temperature was 3480 m/sec for $YZ-LiNbO_3$ single crystal and 2770 m/sec for a family of $PbTiO_3$ceramics with feed-through signal.

When measuring the sound absorption coefficient of a specimen, a reverberation room which is costly or an impedance tube which has limitations in measuring low frequencies have been engaged. In this paper, a new measurement method of acoustic impedance or sound absorption coefficient has been suggested, which does not need microphones and only uses electrical impedance measurement data and derived Thiele/Small parameters of a speaker. The theory of this method has been described using equivalent circuit of the loudspeaker and acoustic properties of a test specimen are measured to demonstrate the validity of this method. It was confirmed that this method can easily measure the sound absorption coefficient in the low frequency band, which was previously difficult to trust. The advantages, limitations, and applicability of this method are discussed.

물체내부의 단층구조를 나타내는 B-모드 영상은, 물체의 내부 경계로부터의 반사신호를 직접 비디오 신호로 변환하여 그 진폭에 비례하는 휘도 또는 색상으로 나타내고 있다. 그러한 시간영역 파형에 의한 처리에 있어서는 각 신호가 시간적으로 근접해 있을 경우 영상화가 곤란하다. 본 연구에서는 B-모드 영상에 있어서 거리분해능을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 캡스트럼법을 이용하는 것을 제안하고, 그 방법에 의해 음속이 알려진 얇은 물체의 두께를 보다 정확하게 측정, 표시함으로써 B-모드 영상화에 있어서의 분해능 향상 가능성을 보였다.

음파를 이용하여 덕트 내 길이 방향으로의 불규일 단면적을 측정하는 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 이러한 역문제적 단면적 재구성은 덕트내의 비파괴 검사 및 인간 기도의 형상 조사 등에 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 음파를 이용하여 덕트내의 단면적을 재구성하는 과정은, 충격응답을 구하는 과정과 충격응답을 면적 재구성 알고리즘에 대입하여 덕트 내 단면적을 구하는 과정으로 나누어진다. 본 연구에서는 랜덤소스와 역푸리에 변환을 사용하여 덕트 내 충격응답을 구하였다. 예제를 통해 제안된 방법에 의해 덕트 내면적 재구성이 매우 정도 높게 실현 가능함을 보였다.

There are many factors which affect the acoustical properties of a micro-speaker. Among the factors, the shape of the diaphragm is considered in this study. As an investigating method, the finite element methods and measurement techniques applied to study the acoustical properties according to diaphragm shape. In order to vary the stiffness of the diaphragm, the some patterns of comb teeth, such as the angle and the number of comb teeth, are applied to diaphragm. We can confirm that the change of the stiffness by the changing diaphragm shape affects the vibration and sound properties of the speaker. As a result, the reduction of the angle of the comb teeth increases the diaphragm stiffness and shifts the resonance frequency to a higher frequency range. The number of the comb teeth is related to the stiffness of the edge part.

Revision of KS, Korean Standards, is currently actively discussed. It is just the time for a new world class standards under the new system with WTO, World Trade Organization. This paper is a part of "Researches on the Standards in the Building Acoustic Field", as one of KS revision projects. The aim of this study is to define the requirements for measuring the reverberation time of rooms with reference to other acoustical parameters. In the former KS, there is no items matched with this purpose. Therefore measuring reverberation time and other room acoustical parameters with confidential test procedure was impossible. On these basis, a new part of KS is proposed, and some problems remained and further discussions in the proposed draft are described in this study.
