This study is about predicting the interior pressure level of the korean high speed train using ray acoustic method. The motor car and the motor and passenger cabin are investigated under the environment of passing open countryside and inside tunnel of 350 km/hr. Calculated sound levels are compared with the proposed sound levels and suggestions about the transmission Joss values of isolating panels inside motor car and the guide lines of allowed sound power limit of motor equipments are provided. Results of TPI car show calculated interior sound level is below the proposed values for both cases of open countryside running and inside tunnel. Since ray acoustic method calculated only air borne noise component, real sound level of the motor car may be higher than prediction. Passenger cabins of TMI, TM5 show higher sound level than the proposed values, so window method was carried out to find the contribution of each panel components and point out the remedy of transmission path. Reduction of sound power of motor equipments should be condisered at the same time.

In this paper, FSTL (Field Sound Transmission Loss) measured in a mock-up simulating ship cabins is studied. A mock-up is built by using 6 mm steel plate, and two identical cabins are made where 25 mm or 50 mm sandwich panel is used to construct wall and ceiling inside the steel structure. Various wall panels and ceilings are tested, where effects of wall and ceiling panel thickness, and presence of a unit toilet on FSTL are investigated. It is found that the effect of unit toilet on FSTL is at most 1 dB. From the comparison of FSTL for panels of the same thickness of 50 mm, it is observed that panel having inside air cavity of 10 mm shows higher STL than that of the panel without air cavity. Comparison of FSTL for panels of 50 mm and 25 mm thickness shows that dependency on surface density predicted by mass law is not observed. The sandwich panels act as a mass-spring system, which shows a resonant mode that cannot be explained by the mass law. It is also found that STL from laboratory test is higher than FSTL by 5- 10 dB, which can be explained by flanking structure-borne noise transmission path such as ceiling, floor and corridor-facing wall.

대부분의 제품 생산 시에는 시제품을 제작하여 이에 대한 성능 심사를 통해 미비한 부분을 보완하기 위한 재설계 작업과정을 필요로 한다. 설계 작업에 가장 중요한 부분인 특정 설계 변수에 대한 민감도의 파악은 설계 작업의 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 대개의 경우 진동설계를 위한 설계변수로 구조물의 단위면적, 길이, 재료의 성질과 같은 물리적인 변수를 많이 활용하고 있으며 이러한 변수들에 대한 민감도 해석 기법들은 이미 많은 연구를 통해 실용화되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 변수만으로는 주어진 조건을 만족하도록 설계하기가 어려운 경우가 있다. 이런 경우는 부가구조물을 첨가하여 저진동 설계조건을 만족하는 구조물을 제작하는 것이 보편적이다. 한편, 구조물의 최적화 과정에서 고유진동수를 고려해야 하는 경우가 많다. 저주파 영역의 문제에서는 첫번째 고유진동수가 구조물의 진동량에 관계되는 중요한 요인이 되고, 또한 공진에 의한 문제가 발생했을 경우에는 고유진동수를 옮겨서 공진을 회피할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 에어컨 실외기의 진동을 저감하고 그로 인한 구조기인 소음을 저감하기 위하여 음압 레벨을 바탕으로 정한 관심 주파수 영역에 고유진동수가 존재하지 않도록 부가구조물을 최적화하였다. 최적화에 필요한 민감도는 신뢰성 있는 유한요소 모델을 구성하는 것이 쉽지 않으므로 실험으로 구한 주파수 응답함수를 이용하였다.

A dash panel plays an important role to protect noise as well as heat. Meanwhile, it is also the most important path that transfers energy to the interior cavity, so that some of noises are transferred via air and its structural vibration becomes a major issue. From the viewpoint of NVH performance, simplified structures analogues to the dash wall are dealt with. Stiffeners, damping sheets and sound packages attached to a flat panel are taken into account as design variables. Structural radiation characteristics(thus, structure borne) such as radiation efficiency and radiation power are mainly discussed. For the case when an excitation is applied on a frame that surrounds the panel, it is shown that the radiation efficiency increases by attaching a stiffener to the panel, which is similarly found from the case when a panel is directly excited. It seems more effective to attach damping sheets along the boundary area of the panel rather than its middle area. The radiation efficiency of sound packages may make a dominant contribution to transmission loss as well as sound radiation. Experimental work was carried out to verify the results based on the simulation study.

There is growing consciousness of the environmental performance of buildings in Hong Kong. The Buildings Department, the Lands Department and the Planning Department of the Hong Kong Government issued the first of a series of joint practice notes [1] to promote the construction of green and innovative buildings. Green features are architectural features used to mitigate migration of noise and various air-borne pollutants and to moderate the transport of heat, air and transmission of daylight from outside to indoor environment in an advantageous way. This joint practice note sets out the incentives to encourage the industry in Hong Kong to incorporate the use of green features in building development. The use of green features in building design not only improves the environmental quality, but also reduces the consumption of non-renewable energy used in active control of indoor environment. Larger window openings in the walls of a building may provide better natural ventilation. However, it also increases the penetration of direct solar radiation into indoor environment. The use of wing wall, one of the green features, is an alternative to create effective natural ventilation. This paper therefore presents a preliminary numerical study of its ventilation performance using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The numerical results will be compared with the results of the wind tunnel experiments of Givoni.

To determine subglacial topography and internal features of the Fourcade Glacier on King George Island in Antarctica, helicopter-borne and ground-towed ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data were recorded along four profiles in November 2006. Signature deconvolution, f-k migration velocity analysis, and finite-difference depth migration applied to the mixed-phase, single-channel, ground-towed data, were effective in increasing vertical resolution, obtaining the velocity function, and yielding clear depth images, respectively. For the helicopter-borne GPR, migration velocities were obtained as root-mean-squared velocities in a two-layer model of air and ice. The radar sections show rugged subglacial topography, englacial sliding surfaces, and localised scattering noise. The maximum depth to the basement is over 79m in the subglacial valley adjacent to the south-eastern slope of the divide ridge between Fourcade and Moczydlowski Glaciers. In the ground-towed profile, we interpret a complicated conduit above possible basal water and other isolated cavities, which are a few metres wide. Near the terminus, the GPR profiles image sliding surfaces, fractures, and faults that will contribute to the tidewater calving mechanism forming icebergs in Potter Cove.

In this paper, we propose a new structure modeling algorithm from 3D cloud points of terrestrial LADAR data. Terrestrial LIDAR data have various obstacles which make it difficult to apply conventional algorithms designed for air-borne LIDAR data. In the proposed algorithm, the field data are separated into several clusters by adopting the structure extraction method which uses color information and Hough transform. And cluster based Delaunay triangulation technique is sequentially applied to model the artificial structure. Each cluster has its own priority and it makes possible to determine whether a cluster needs to be considered not. The proposed algorithm not only minimizes the effects of noise data but also interactively controls the level of modeling by using cluster-based approach.
