A design procedure using spatial Fourier transform is presented for a structural-acoustic coupled radiator that can emit sound in the desired direction with high power and low side lobe level. The design procedure consists of three steps. Firstly, the structural-acoustic coupled radiator is chosen to obtain strong coupling between structural vibration and acoustic pressure. The radiator is composed by two spaces which are separated by a wall. Spaces can be categorized as reverberant finite space and unbounded semi-infinite space, and the wall are composed of two plates and an opening. The velocities on the wall are predicted. Secondly, directivity and energy distribution of radiator are predicted in wave number domain using spatial Fourier transform. Finally, optimal design variables are calculated using a dual optimal algorithm. Its computational example is presented including the directivity and resulting pressure distribution using proposed procedure.

Typical underwater acoustic sensors can measure the scalar quantity of sound-pressure-magnitude with the limitation of being unable to identify the direction of an incoming wave. This paper proposes a method to detect the direction of the sound wave with a ring sensor. The sensor of the proposed structure has a piezoceramic ring divided into eight elements, and distinguishes the direction of the sound wave by properly combining the output voltages of the piezoceramic elements. Further, through the analysis of the effects of the structural parameters like the ring radius and length, and piezoceramic thickness, we have suggested the way to improve the sensitivity of the vector sensor.

Nowadays, it is required for naval ships to estimate 3D underwater radiated noise pattern in all direction at peak frequencies of hull vibration for the reduction of being detected and doing the effective operation. For this purpose, the numerical method has to be developed to calculate 3D underwater radiated noise pattern with experimental data. It is very difficult to obtain the experimental data for the real ship. Alternative to get the experimental results is to use NAH(near-field acoustic holography) in acoustic tank with experimental model. Application of NAH in acoustic tank for the experimental model needs some investigation of reflection wave from the wall of the acoustic tank and unmeasured zone of the experimental model due to the supporting structure for it. In this study, the effect of reflection wave in the acoustic tank and unmeasured area of the experimental model when using the NAH was investigated with experiment and numerical model. From these, it is known for the error due to reflection wave can be reduced when the distance between the measurement plane and source is being shorten. Also, unmeasured area of the experimental model gives rise to some error in the estimation of the far-field acoustic pressure.

It is desirable to develop the effective NDT techniques to evaluate the strength of composite structures. In this study several of acoustic NDT techniques were applied to investigate useful parameters for evaluating the filament wound GFRP structures and following results were obtained. 1. Propagation velocity of stress wave to axial direction in the filament wound GFRP pipe depends on the effective modulus along the propagation direction and source location was parcticable from the a measured velocities. 2. By the application of acoustic emission techniques to GFRP pipe during hydraulic test, it was proven to be possible to detect the damage initiating pressure which could be evaluated nondestructively through the measuring of stress wave energy factor(SWEF). 3. The final failure pressure of GFRP was greatly influenced in the presence of pass through defects, and void-like defects were more dangerous than the laminar type defects.

The directivity of the sound pressure increases the sensitivity of the incoming sound from specific directions. The directivity measurement of the sound pressure is usually done in an anechoic room using a sloping motor. In this paper a replaceable anechoic chamber was designed for the acoustic directivity pattern measurement. Electrical equipments were interfaced with a PC for experiment automatic control. Some comparative results are shown in the result.

This paper investigated sound characteristics by the delamination of an acoustic window. In detail, acoustic scattering and transmission characteristics on the delaminated acoustic window were estimated using an experimental and numerical approach. The experiment results showed that acoustic wave could lose its amplitude and take phase delay when it propagates the delaminated acoustic window. The numerical results showed that scattering phenomena occur on the delamination surface. The scattering characteristics presented differently according to the delamination size in the acoustic window. It also showed that transmitted sound distortion due to delamination could cause a direction detection error of SONAR by changing the position of the main lobe and the magnitude of the side lobe. In conclusion, the delamination has to be managed during the manufacturing process of acoustic windows.

An acoustic vector sensor is a device that is capable of measuring the direction of wave propagation and the acoustic pressure. In this paper, the modeling of micro-cantilever sensor for the vector sensor are proposed by consideration of acoustic phenomenon in water. Two models based on unimorph structure are proposed in this paper and corresponding transfer function which describes the relation between input pressure wave and output voltage depending on incidence angle and frequency of pressure wave is derived based on lumped model. It has been shown that very thin and flexible micro-cantilever can be used to measure directly the particle velocity component in water.

In this study, waves and currents observed by acoustic AWAC, VECTOR and Aquadopp Profiler in Anmok coastal waters were analysed to account for the variability of wave and current and to understand the mechanism of sediment transport generated by wave-induced current in the surf-zone. The monthly variation of wave and residual currents were analysed and processed with long-term observed AWAC data at station W1, located at the water depth of about 18m measured during from February 2015 to September 2016. Wave-induced currents were also analysed with intensive field measurements such as wave, current, suspended sediment, and bathymetry data observed at the surf-zone during in winter and summer. The statistical result of wave data shows that high waves coming from NNE and NE in winter (DEC-FEB) are dominant due to strong winds from NE. But in the other season waves coming from NE and ENE are prevalent due to the seasonal winds from E and SE. The residual currents with southeastern direction parallel to the shoreline are dominant throughout a year except in winter showing in opposite direction. The speed of ebb-dominant southeastern residual currents decreasing from surface to the bottom is strong in summer and fall but weak in winter and spring. By analysing wave-induced current, we found that cross-shore current were generated by swell waves mainly in winter with incoming wave direction about $45^{\circ}$ normal to the shoreline. Depending on the direction of incoming waves, longshore currents in the surf-zone were separated to southeastern and northwestern flows in winter and summer respectively. The variation of observed currents near crescentic bars in the surf-zone shows different direction of longshore and cross-shore currents depending on incoming waves implying to the reason of beach erosion generating the beach cusp and sandbar migration during high waves at Anmok.

Acoustic streaming Induced by longitudinal vibration at 30 kHz is visualized for a test fluid flow between the stationary glass plate and ultrasonic vibrating surface with particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) To measure an increase in the velocity of air flow due to acoustic streaming, the velocity of air flow in a gap between the heat source and ultrasonic vibrator is obtained quantitatively using PIV. The ultrasonic wave propagating into air in the gap generates steady-state secondary vortex called acoustic streaming which enhances convective cooling of the stationary heat source. Heat transfer through air in the gap is represented by experimental convective heat transfer coefficient with respect to the gap. Theoretical analysis shows that gaps for maximum heat transfer enhancement are the multiple of half wavelength. Optimal gaps for the actual design are experimentally found to be half wavelength and one wavelength. A drastic temperature variation exists for the local axial direction of the vibrator according to the measurement of the temperature distribution in the gap. The acoustic streaming velocity of the test fluid in the gap is at maximum when the gap agrees with the multiples of half wavelength of the ultrasonic wave, which are specifically 6 mm and 12 mm.

광대역 표면 탄성파(Surface Acoustic Wave)를 이용하여 도파로 층의 빛을 특정 각도로 변조하여 편향 휴대용 홀로그램 디스플레이를 구현하기 위한 음향 광학(Acoustic-Optic) 장치를 개발했다. 개발된 시스템은 프리즘, 도파로층, 표면탄성파를 일으키는 IDT 및 스크린으로 구성된다. 도파로내에서 전파하는 빛은 표면탄성파에 에너지가 가해지지 않으면 도파로층의 진행중 경로 변화가 발생하지 않지만 표면 탄성파에 에너지를 가하면 빛의 편향된다. 큰 편향 각도와 고효율을 위해서 표면탄성파의 파워, 표면탄성파의 중심주파수, IDT aperture length, waveguide thickness 등을 조절하여 빛 편향각도 및 효율변화를 관찰하였다.
