Psychophysical approaches to the room acoustics have been made in number of researches. The present study is looking at whether the listener's perception of frequency change in rooms are dependent on the acoustics of a listening environment. P(C)s for frequency change in short tones were measured in different listening conditions. Two experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of room acoustics on the listener's perception of frequency change, and its implication for evaluating the acoustics of listening environments were examined and discussed. It was found that the temporal and spectral contents of reflections from room surfaces might be an important factor which influenced the listener's perception of frequency change in a reverberant sound field. This implicates that psychophysical approach by measuring listener's frequency change perception might be an useful tool for evaluating room acoustics. However, cares should be taken, since some individual differences were found to exist with respect to the direction of frequency change.

풍향풍속계와 구조 모니터링 시스템을 설치하여 강풍과 거물의 동적 특성을 계측하였다. 계측건물은 속초의 산기슭에 위치하고 있다. 감쇠율과 고유진동수의 진폭 의존성을 분석하였다. 감쇠율의 진폭의존성은 9%로서, 가속도진폭이 증가함에 따라서 감쇠율이 명료하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 계측데이터에서 얻은 동적 특성의 경향은 사용성 평가시 건물의 동적 특성을 평가하는데 유용하게 사용되리라 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a clustering method for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data in Korea. As AMI data presents non-stationarity, we consider time-dependent frequency domain principal components analysis, which is a proper method for locally stationary time series data. We develop a new clustering method based on time-varying eigenvectors, and our method provides a meaningful result that is different from the clustering results obtained by employing conventional methods, such as K-means and K-centres functional clustering. Simulation study demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach. We further apply the clustering results to the evaluation of the electricity price system in South Korea, and validate the reform of the progressive electricity tariff system.

This paper investigates the dynamic response of structures during earthquakes and provides a clear understanding of soil-structure interaction phenomena. It analyses various parameters, comprising ground shear wave velocity and structure properties. The effect of soil impedance function form on the structural response of the system through the use of springs and dashpots with two frequency cases: independent and dependent frequencies. The superstructure and the ground were modeled linearly. Using the substructure method, two different approaches are used in this study. The first is an analytical formulation based on the dynamic equilibrium of the soil-structure system modeled by an analog model with three degrees of freedom. The second is a numerical analysis generated with 2D finite element modeling using ABAQUS software. The superstructure is represented as a SDOF system in all the SSI models assessed. This analysis establishes the key parameters affecting the soil-structure interaction and their effects. The different results obtained from the analysis are compared for each studied case (frequency-independent and frequency-dependent impedance functions). The achieved results confirm the sensitivity of buildings to soil-structure interaction and highlight the various factors and effects, such as soil and structure properties, specifically the shear wave velocity, the height and mass of the structure. Excitation frequency, and the foundation anchoring height, also has a significant impact on the fundamental parameters and the response of the coupled system at the same time. On the other hand, it have been demonstrated that the impedance function forms play a critical role in the accurate evaluation of structural behavior during seismic excitation. As a result, the evaluation of SSI effects on structural response must take into account the dynamic properties of the structure and soil accordingly.

It is well known that the properties of the soil deposits, especially the damping, depend on both frequency and strain amplitude. Therefore it is important to consider both dependencies to calculate the soil response against earthquakes in order to estimate input motions to buildings. However, it has been difficult to calculate the seismic response of the soil considering both dependencies directly. The author has studied the time domain evaluation of the frequency dependent dynamic stiffness, and proposed a simple hysteretic damping model that satisfies the causality condition. In this paper, this model was applied to nonlinear analyses considering the effects of the strain amplitude dependency of the soil. The basic characteristics of the proposed method were studied using a two layered soil model. The response behavior was compared with the conventional model e.g. the Ramberg-Osgood model and the SHAKE model. The characteristics of the proposed model were studied with regard to the effects of element divisions and the frequency dependency that is a key feature of the model. The efficiency of the model was confirmed by these studies.

The aim of this study is to acquire useful information of lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) diagnosis through urophonography signal as a noninvasive method. The hardware and software which could evaluate the function of compensatory hypertrophy with noninvasive and comfortable method was implemented to measure uroflow and urophonography signal during urination. The PSD (power spectrum density) and the log-log plot gradient analysis were accomplished in frequency domain. For evaluation of the system and analysis method, a model system for the lower urinary system of men was used. From the evaluation of the model system, the PDS and the log-log plot gradient were dependent on the occlusion degree significantly. In a pilot study on normal and abnormal male subjects, the PSD and the log-log plot gradient were highly correlated with the artificial urethral obstruction.

잔향시간(reverberation time, T60)은 대표적인 음향 매개 변수로서, 잔향에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 동일한 공간이라도 주파수 대역에 따라 잔향이 미치는 영향은 다르기 때문에, 주파수 대역별(frequency-dependent, FD) T60은 음향환경에 대한 세부적인 정보를 제공하여 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 하지만 음성신호로부터 T60을 추정하는 기존의 블라인드 T60 추정 방식들은 대부분 전 대역 T60 추정에 집중되어 있으며, 소수의 블라인드 FDT60 추정 방식들은 공통적으로 저주파 대역에서 열악한 성능을 보인다. 본 논문은 블라인드 FDT60 추정을 위해, 이전에 제안한 주의 집중 풀링 기반 스펙트럼 감쇠율의 가중 합(Attentive pooling based Weighted Sum of Spectral Decay Rates, AWSSDR) 방식을 변형하여 목표를 전 대역 T60에서 FDT60으로 확장하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식은 ACE challenge의 평가데이터 셋에 대한 성능 평가 결과, 기존의 블라인드 FDT60 추정 방식들보다 우수한 성능을 달성하였으며, 특히, 모든 주파수 대역에서 일관성 있는 우수한 추정 성능을 보였다. 이는, 잔향의 물리적인 특성과 관련된 스펙트럼 감쇠율을 주파수 대역별로 처리하여, 음성신호로부터 FDT60에 대한 정보를 취합하는, AWSSDR 방식의 매커니즘이 주파수에 따라 변하는 잔향의 영향을 반영하여 FDT60 추정에 유용함을 보여준다.

This paper presents performance analyses of three types of the cylindrical-type ER(electro-rheo-logical) valves, which have different electrode length and width but same electrode area. Following the composition of silicone oil-based ER fluid, the field-dependent yield stresses are obtained from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. The ER valve which is dependent on the applied electric field is devised and its theoretical model is derived. On the basis of the pressure-drop analysis, three types of the ER valves are designed and manufactured. After experimentally evaluation field-dependent pressure drops, PI controller is formulated to achieve tracking control on desired pressure drop. The controller is then experimentally implemented and tracking control performance is presented in order to demonstrate superior controllability of the ER valve. In addition, the response characteristic of the ER valve with respect to the excitation frequency of the electric fiedls is provided to show the feasibility of practical application.

The measured damping ratio was analysed to obtain amplitude dependence. Wind-induced vibration of 20 story steel-framed building was measured to investigate amplitude dependence by RD method. Micro-tremo vibrations of 20 RC bearing wall typed buildings were performed to analysis the amplitude dependence by formula proposed by Tamua and ESDU. Amplitude dependent damping in 17 story steel-framed building was showed clearly in the increasing rate of 9%. But Amplitude dependent damping of 17 RC bearing wall typed buildings was very low in the increasing rate of 2.5%. The tendency of dynamic properties of building obtained here are useful for the validation of dynamic properties of buildings in the evaluation of serviceability.
