To verify the possibility of generating rattling noise from a motor on caliper brake system, a test was conducted using a caliper excited with vibrations similar to that in a vehicle running on actual roads; this test was conducted using a quiet shaker installed in an anechoic room. After several hours of external excitation, the test assembly was loosened, and the frequency of rattling noise generation increased. A microphone was used to record the generated noise. The measured signals were analyzed by conventional spectrum analysis. Since the noise is generated as an impact response, the advantages of employing Prony analysis was discussed, and the results were compared to those obtained using conventional fast Fourier transforms. The accuracy of Prony analysis was through endurance tests on different brake systems.

Fracture behavior of a monolithic PZT and a plate-type piezoelectric composite actuator (PCA) has been investigated under a bending load at three points by an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. AE signal from a monolithic PZT at the maximum bending load shows the characteristics of high amplitude and long duration with a low frequency band of $100{\sim}230kHz$ which is confirmed by fast Fourier transform (FFT). For a PCA, it is concluded that AE signals with high amplitude over 80dB and low dominant frequency band of $170{\sim}223kHz$ emitted in the stage I are due to the brittle fracture in the PZT layer and the delamination between the PZT layer and the adjacent fiber composite layer. Based on the above analysis of AE behavior and damage observations with an optical microscopy and a scanning electron microscopy, AE characteristics related to fracture behavior of asymmetrically laminated PCA have been elucidated.

An experimental study was performed for the behavior of the burner flame which results from burning of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic transducer. Configurations of the flame and combustion-field were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a image post-processing. As a result, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas. In addition, a phenomenon of flame flickering was discussed through the comparative analysis of the variational behavior between the visible flame and IR (Infrared) flame-field. Also, the flickering frequency of the flame was confirmed through FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis employing the flame area.

In this study, the effects were analyzed by applying the vibration absorption liner into the guide rail bracket as a part of method to reduce the vibration and noise on the high-rise apartment. As the result of vibration absorption liner performance, it was checked that the level of vibration and noise was reduced around 65.49% in the car side and around 90.05% in the counterweight side. Therefore, the vibration absorption effect by the vibration absorption liner of elevator guide rail bracket became fairly good. In case of the vibration absorption liner application, there was an effect on the reduction of 7.26 to 22.22% at hoistway section area, 3,840,000 to 9,780000 KRW at the cost of material and installation by comparing with the damping beam application. Also, in case of the vibration absorption liner application with light weight instead of damping beam with heavy weight, it was thought to become significant effect at preventing the safety from the accidents on installation site.

Near-wake flow field downstream of a circular cylinder in the wake-transition regime where fine-scale secondary vortices have a spanwise wavelength of around one diameter has been studied by means of phase-averaging from cinematic PIV data. A cross-correlation algorithm in conjunction with the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)analysis and an offset correlation technique is used for obtaining the velocity vectors. Which the help of very high sampling rate compared to the shedding frequency, it is possible to obtain phase-averaged flow fields although the shedding is not forced but natural. Phase -locked three-dimensional vortical structures are reconstructed form the phase-averaged data in one x-y(cross-sectional) and several z-x(spanwise-streamwise)planes. In this process of phase-averaging in a z-x plane, a technique to freeze the secondary vortices relative to the centerline is applied. The formation process of the secondary vortices is shown by considering spatial relations between the primary Karman and the secondary vortices and their temporal evolutions.

과거 유체 유발 진동(FIV : Fluid Induced Vibration)은 배관계 설계 하중에 고려되지 않은 설계 하중이었다. 하지만, 원자력 발전소 또는 화력 발전소의 배관형상이 복잡하고 고온수가 배관 내부에서 유동하는 배관계에서 육안으로 관측이 가능한 배관진동이 발생하였다. 이에 배관 진동에 대하여 원인 분석과 배관 구조 건전성 평가에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 배관 진동은 배관 형상에 따라 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 압력 변동이 하나의 원인이며, 고온수가 유동하는 배관일수록 압력 변동에 대한 배관 진동이 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 압력 변동을 불규칙 수력하중이라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 배관 내부에서 난류 유동으로 발생하는 불규칙 수력하중을 유동해석을 이용하여 PSD(Power Spectral Density)로 산출하고, PSD 하중을 이용하여 불규칙 구조 응답 해석을 수행하여 배관계 응력 분포에 대하여 연구하였다. 배관 내부 난류 유동에 대한 불규칙 수력하중은 DES 난류 모델을 사용하여 시간에 대한 배관 내부 표면의 유체 속도를 유동 해석으로 산출하였으며, 유체 속도를 동압으로 계산한 후 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)를 수행하여 PSD 하중으로 산출하였다. 그리고 불규칙 구조 응답 해석에서 배관 내부 유체 영향에 대한 진동 감쇠를 표현하기 위하여 유체 질량을 산출하고, 배관 구조 해석 모델 표면에 질량을 입력하는 방법으로 배관 고유진동수 및 불규칙 구조 응답 해석을 수행하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare head register with chest register of singers acoustically. Fifteen healthy tenor major students were participated. Fifteen healthy untrained adults were chosen as the control group for this study. Long term average (LTA) power spectrum using the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm and Linear predictive coding (LPC) filter response were made with /a/ sustained in both head (G4, 392 Hz) and chest registers (C3, 131 Hz). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. In the LTA power spectrum, head register of singers increased in the level of energy gain within the frequency of 2.2-3.4 kHz (p<0.01), and 7.5-8.4 kHz (p<0.01, p<0.05). Chest register of singers increased in the frequency of 2.2-3.1 kHz (p<0.01), 7.8-8.4 kHz (p<0.05) and around 9.6 kHz (p<0.01). The LTA power spectrum revealed a peak of acoustic energy around 2,500 Hz, known as the singer's formant and another peak of acoustic energy around 8,000 Hz in the singer's voice.

Using an arterial pressure-volume (APV) model, we performed an analysis of the conventional blood pressure estimation method using an oscillometric sphygmomanometer with computer simulation. Traditionally, the maximum amplitude algorithm (MAA) has been applied to the oscillation waveforms of the APV model to obtain the mean arterial pressure and the characteristic ratio. The estimation of mean arterial pressure and characteristic ratio was significantly affected by the shape of the blood pressure waveforms and the cutoff frequency of high-pass filter (HPF) circuitry. Experimental errors result from these effects when estimating blood pressure. To determine an algorithm independent of the influence of waveform shapes and parameters of HPF, the volume oscillation of the APV model and the phase shift of the oscillation with fast Fourier transform (FFT) were tested while increasing the cuff pressure from 1 mmHg to 200 mmHg (1 mmHg/s). The phase shift between ranges of volume oscillation was then only observed between the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures. The same results were obtained from simulations performed on two different arterial blood pressure waveforms and one hyperthermia waveform.

인공위성의 Radar Altimeter 자료를 통해 국지적인 중력이상을 조사하기 위하여 ERS-1 Altimeter를 이용하였다. ERS-1 Radar Altimeter는 조밀하게 인접한 데이터 간격(~8km)을 갖고 있어서 전지구적 규모뿐만 아니라 국지적인 연구에도 적합하다. 연구대상지역은 세 개의 판이 만나서 지진과 화산활동이 활발하게 진행되는 필리핀판 지역(동경1$10^{\circ}$~150$^{\circ}$, 북위 0$^{\circ}$~30$^{\circ}$)을 선정하였다. 이 지역에 대한 해저의 지형과 중력 이상 분석을 통해 판구조 운동의 여러 증거를 파악할 수 있다. ERS-1 Radar Altimeter를 통해 얻어진 지오이드 높이(Geoid geight)는 후리-에어 중력이상(Free-air gravity anomaly)으로 쉽게 전환시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)을 이용하여 지오이드기복을 직접 후리-에어 중력이상으로 전환시키는 Direct conversion method를 사용하였다. 후리-에어 중력이상은 지각평형과 직접적으로 연관되어 지각보상의 정도를 파악할 수 있게 하며 일반적으로 해양의 분지는 지각평형상태로 있어서 평균적인 중력이상은 0mgal 근처로 나타난다. 그러나 본 연구에서 살펴본 국지적인 후리-에어 중력이상은 판구조론과 관련한 해구난 호상열도에서는 해양분지에서의 평균적인 값과 다른 중력이상의 양상을 나타내었다.

Washboarding is a crucial problem occurring on unpaved roads. This phenomenon involves the formation of ripples on the surface of the unpaved road and causes a critical problem to vehicles and riders. The phenomenon is affected by several parameters, but we focused on the velocity and the size of the rotating body. In the precedent research, we observed that a critical velocity existed for the occurrence of the phenomenon, and the phenomenon's grade was related to the velocity. Therefore, this study, using a discrete element method, aimed to analyze the relation between the velocity and the size of the rotating body for the occurrence of the phenomenon and perform a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis to determine the correlation between the phenomenon and the period. The study observed that the critical velocity could vary from the velocity and the size of the rotating body, and there was a certain range of frequency for the occurrence of the Washboarding phenomenon.
