In recent years, as a consequence of the technological advancements in the automobile industry and changes in consumer demands, the reduction of noise inside vehicles rather than vehicle performance has increasingly become an important factor of interest. To date, most studies have focused on noise and vibration reduction techniques for the engine and drive system of vehicles. In this research, a comparative analysis for reducing the effect of vehicle seatbelts on the transient response is performed using the test of vehicle conditions and transient response analysis in accordance with seatbelt conditions. After the sensitivity analysis, the specifications for improvement were designed based on the transient response analysis. It was confirmed that the transient response characteristics were improved by the transient response analysis and vehicle conditions test. Through computer-aided engineering, the transient response characteristics of seatbelts were checked with less cost and time.

This study measures the levels of various receiving points for reducing deviations the floor impact sound. According to the results, 63-125Hz band appeals the large deviations. Among the spacial points, the spot of 0.75m from the wall correspond with the average of all spots. The KS stipulates that the receiving point should be off the wall more than 0.5m But obeying the rules, the large deviation appears. So, this study shows that the adequate receiving point is 0.75m from the wall.

In order to verify the effectiveness of adding visooelastic dampers to full-scale steel frame structure on the reduction of their seismic and wind response a experimental work was carried out. First, The test was conducted on the VE dampers subjected to sinusoidal excitations under a variety of ambient temperatures, frequency, and the damper strain. Results from these tests showed that the viscoelastic dampers have high energy dissipation capacity. Second, The vibration tests was conducted of the full-scale steel frame structure with md without added VE dampers at different temperatures. Viscoelastically damped full-scale structure test result on the effect of ambient temperature show that viscoelastic dampers are very effective in reducing excessive vibration of the structure due to sinusoidal excitation over a wide ringe of ambient temperature.

In this paper, a digital signal processing circuit for Position Sensitive Detectors(PSDs) is introduced to substitute the conventional analog signal processing circuit and to compensate disadvantages of the PSD. In general, the analog circuits have the problems such as noise accumulation, sensitivity for environmental changes, and high cost for manufacturing. Moreover, the intrinsic nonlinearity problem of the PSD makes it hard to measure the position accurately because it is difficult to be overcome the problem by using the conventional analog circuits, which can be solved by using the digital signal processing circuit. The circuit is implemented by using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The Pulse Amplitude Modulation(PAM) method is used for reducing the environmental noise effect, and a linear interpolation logic is used to compensate the ...

This paper reports an example of flow-induced vibration in a very large plant and the whole procedure of reducing the vibration. During the operation of flue gas desurfurization unit of the thermal power plant, serious vibration occurred at all around the unit. The worst vibration was recorded on the heat exchanger surface, which weighed 180 tones, as 17.8 m/$s^2$ in vibration amplitude at 34Hz. To identify the vibration, frequency analysis on the response vibration, the expected excitation force and the system resonance was executed. This investigation revealed that the cause of the vibration was vortex shedding from the circular pipes in the heat exchanger. Vortices from the pipes excited acoustic resonance in the heat exchanger room, which, in turn, made the structure vibrate. Through inserting the baffles between the pipes, which had an effect of cutting the acoustic wave at resonance frequency, the vibration was eliminated dramatically.

3D vibration measurement is achieved using one laser scanning vibrometer(LSV) and Laser scanner(LS) by moving the LSV to three arbitrarily locations from the principle that vibration analysis based on the frequency domain is independent of the vibration signal based on time domain. The proposed system has the same effect as using three sets of LSVs. It has an advantage of reducing equipment costs. Analytical approach of obtaining in-plane and out-of-plane vibration of surface is introduced using geometrical relations between three LSV coordinates and vibration measured at three different locations.

In this paper, a recursive intercarrier interference (ICI) cancellation technique for cooperative space-time block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) with different carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) is proposed. Also, different CFOs existing in a cooperative STBC-OFDM system is shown to produce phase difference in the received signal, causing noise enhancement effect in the STBC decoding process. The performance degradation caused by the noise enhancement effect can be effectively reduced by a proposed ML-based recursive ICI cancellation technique. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed recursive ICI cancellation technique is effective in reducing ICI, especially for STBC-OFDM systems with a large FFT size and large CFOs.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into bi-directional communication in spectrum sharing-based cognitive radio (Bi-CR) systems. A Bi-CR system can increase the spectral efficiency significantly by sharing the spectrum and through the bi-directional use of spatial resources for two-way communication. On the other hand, the primary user experiences more interference from the secondary users in a Bi-CR system. Satisfying the interference constraint by simply reducing the transmission power results in performance degradation for secondary users. In addition, secondary users also experience self-interference from echo channels due to full duplexing. These imperfections may weaken the potential benefits of the Bi-CR system. Therefore, a new way to overcome these defects in the Bi-CR system is needed. To address this need, this paper proposes some novel power allocation schemes for the Bi-CR system. This contribution is based on two major analytic environments, i.e., noise-limited and interference-limited environments, for providing useful analysis. This paper first proposes an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme in a noise-limited environment and then analyzes the achievable sum rates. This OPA scheme has an effect in the noise-limited environment. In addition, a power allocation scheme for the Bi-CR system in an interference-limited environment was also investigated. The numerical results showed that the proposed schemes can achieve the full duplexing gain available from the bi-directional use of spatial resources.

Many high-resolution algorithms based on the eigen-decomposition analysis of observed covariance matrix, such as MVE, MUSIC, and EVM, have been proposed. However, the resolution of spectral estimates for these algorithms is severely degraded when Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is low and arrival angles of signal are close to each other. And EVM and MUSIC is powerful for the characteristic of SNR. But have the limitation that the number of signals presented is known. While MVE is bad the characteristic of SNR. In this study, we propose a modified MVE to enhance the resolution for Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) estimation of underwater acoustic signal. This is to remove the limitation that existing algorithms should know the information for the number of signals. Because the algorithms founded on the eigen value estimate DOA with only the noise subspace, they have the high-resolution characteristic. And then, with the method reducing the effect of the signal subspace, we are to reduce the degradation because of complementary relationship between the signal subspace and the noise subspace. This paper, with using the simulation data, we have estimated the proposed algorithms, compared it with other high-resolution algorithms. The simulation results show that the modified MVE proposed is accurate and has a better resolution even though SNR is low, under the same condition.

The detection rate of Progressive Probability Hough Transform(PPHT) is decreased when a lot of noise components exist due to an unclear or complex original image although it is quite a good algorithm that detects line segments accurately. In order to solve the problem, we propose an improved line detecting algorithm which is robust to noise components and recovers slightly damaged edges. The proposed algorithm is based on PPHT and traces a line segments by pixel and checks of it is straight. It increases the detection rate by reducing the effect of noise components and by recovering edge patterns within a limited pixel size. The proposed algorithm is applied to a lane detection method and the false positive detection rate is decreased by 30% and the line detection rate is increased by 15%.
