Noise prediction for HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) systems are normally performed by empirical method suggested by NEBB(National Environmental Balancing Bureau, 1994). However, the method is not suitable for large ducts in ships. In this paper, computational analysis methods are used to develop a noise prediction method for the large ducts in ships. To develop regression formula of attenuation of sound pressure level in large ducts, Boundary Element Method(BEM) is used. BEM and Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) are applied to the analysis of flow-induced noise in ducts with stiffeners inside. Loud noise above 100 dB can be generated in some cases. Breakout noises of large ducts are also analyzed by using BEM and Finite Element Method(FEM). The acoustic pressure level shows about 10-15dB difference between inside and outside of the duct. Utilizing the results of this study, it is expected that shipyard planners can predict noise of the HVAC system for ships.

Recently, reducing underwater radiated noise (URN) of ships has become an environmental issue to protect marine wildlife. URN of ships can be predicted by various methods considering its generating mechanism and frequency ranges. For URN prediction due to ship structural vibration in low frequency range, the fluid-structure interaction analysis technique based on finite element and boundary element methods (FE/BEM) is regarded as an useful technique. In this paper, URN due to a double bottom-shaped structure vibration has been numerically investigated based on a coupled method of FE/BEM to enhance the prediction accuracy of URN due to the vibration of real ship engine room structure. Acoustic radiation efficiency and URN transfer function in case of vertical harmonic excitation on the top plate of double bottom structure have been evaluated. Using the results, the validity of an existing empirical formula for acoustic radiation efficiency estimation and a simple URN transfer function, which are usually adopted for URN assessment in initial design stage, is discussed.

A numerical algorithm for predicting fretting wear was developed using the boundary element method (BEM). A contact analysis was performed numerically using the relation between the elastic displacement and uniformly distributed loading of a rectangular patch on a semi-infinite solid. Geometrical updating based on nodal wear depths was performed. The wear depths were computed using the Archard's equation for sliding wear. In order to investigate the efficiency of BEM for predicting fretting wear, a problem involving a two-dimensional cylinder on a flat contact was analyzed, comparing it with the simulation model proposed by McColl et al. that was based on the finite element method. The developed method was then applied to the analysis of a spherical contact and it was shown that the developed simulation technique could efficiently predict fretting wear. Moreover, the effect of a step cycle on the solution obtained by the developed method was investigated.

This study is concerned with the acoustic characteristics for recently developed interference-type noise barrier (T-shaped). To modify the previous shape more conveniently the T-shaped noise barrier with tuning partitions was examined in detail by varying the number and the hight of tuning partitions. The 2-D boundary element method(BEM) analysis were compared with the experimental results of 1/10 reduced scale model.

일반적으로 사출성형법은 유동, 보압, 냉각과정등 크게 3단계로 나눌 수 있는 데 유동해석에 관한 수치해석은 Tadmor 등이 FAN(Flow Analysis Network) 방법을 도입하면서 실제 적용에 활발히 쓰이고있다. 그리고보압은 후충전 과정으로써 충전이 끝난후 수축된 부분을 보상하기 위해서 수행되는 단계이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 사출금형 제작 시 결정해야 될 냉각 채널의 위치, 크기, 수동에 대한 설계기준을 얻을 수 있는 냉각해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여경계 요소법(Boundary Element Method)을 이용하였으며 일반적인 냉각 채널 즉, Annual, Baffle 및 Bubber등 에 대한 해석이 가능하도록 하였다.

In the begining stage of development of a new automobile, decision of appropriate positions and room of resonators is important to NVH engineers. To find optimized positions of resonators of an automotive intake system, numerical approach such as acoustic FEM or BEM and experimental work are possible. However, either method requires many efforts and time to prepare a numerical or a real model. This research demonstrates easy way to design an adequate intake system.

The influence of the dam-reservoir interaction on the seismic response of concrete dam is studied. The dam body is assumed to behave elastically and modeled by FEM. The impounded water is assumed to be inviscid and compressible fluid and modeled by BEM. The seismic response of dam-reservoir system is analyzed by coupling two regions : the dam body and reservoir.

This paper deals with the stress singularity induced at the interface corner between the viscoelastic thin film and the rigid substrate subjected to uniform temperature change. The viscoelastic film has been assumed to be thermorheologically simple. The time-domain boundary element method(BEM) has been employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. The order of the free-edge singularity has been obtained numerically for a given viscoelastic model. It is shown that the free-edge stress intensity factor is relaxed with time, while the order of the singularity increases with time for the viscoelastic model considered.

Mmulti-domain noise analysis method using Power Flow Boundary Element Method(PFBEM) has been developed successfully. Some applications are introduced. several examples. PFBEM is a numerical analysis method formulated by applying Boundary Element Method(BEM) to Power Flow Analysis(PFA). PFBEM is very powerful in predicting noise level in medium-to-high frequency ranges. However there are restrictions in analyzing the coupled structures and multi-media. In this paper, an analysis method for multi-domain acoustic problems in the diverse acoustic fields is suggested. And the developed method is applied to the car interior and exterior multi-domain noise analysis.
