The application of neutron noise analysis (NNA) to the ex-core neutron detector signal for monitoring the vibration characteristics of a reactor core support barrel (CSB) was investigated. Ex-core flux data were generated by using a nonanalog Monte Carlo neutron transport method in a simulated CSB model where the implicit capture and Russian roulette technique were utilized. First and third order beam and shell modes of CSB vibration were modeled based on parallel processing simulation. A NNA module was developed to analyze the ex-core flux data based on its time variation, normalized power spectral density, normalized cross-power spectral density, coherence, and phase differences. The data were then analyzed with a fuzzy logic module to determine the vibration characteristics. The ex-core neutron signal fluctuation was directly proportional to the CSB's vibration observed at 8Hz and15Hzin the beam mode vibration, and at 8Hz in the shell mode vibration. The coherence result between flux pairs was unity at the vibration peak frequencies. A distinct pattern of phase differences was observed for each of the vibration models. The developed fuzzy logic module demonstrated successful recognition of the vibration frequencies, modes, orders, directions, and phase differences within 0.4 ms for the beam and shell mode vibrations.

뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)는 외부 자극 때문에 발생하는 뇌 활동을 연구하기 위해 사용되는 도구로 두피에 전극을 부착하여 기록한다. 이 과정에서 잡파(artifact)가 혼입되어 신호를 왜곡시키기 쉬워 이를 제거하기 위한 후처리가 필수적이다. 잡파 제거를 위해 널리 사용되는 방법으로 독립성분분석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA)이 존재한다. 이 방법은 성능은 우수하나 뇌파 정보를 일부 손실시키는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 시선 추적 센서(Eyetracker)를 통해 얻은 눈 깜빡임 정보를 이용하여 필터 적용 범위를 제한함으로써 뇌파 정보 손실을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이후 신호 대 잡음 비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), 스펙트럼 일관성(Spectral Coherence, SC) 등의 정량화 방법을 이용하여 기존의 방법과 제안하는 방법의 결과를 비교하였다.

Passengers in automobile or train are exposed to a worse noise environment when they are in the tunnel than in the open field. This is due to a relatively higher space density of sound energy by multiple reflection phenomenon of noise generated by operation of transportation vehicles from tunnel wall compared to open field. In this study, noise characteristics of subway train running through a tunnel were investigated at straight/curved track and tunnel type(semi circular/box). Also the noise measured simultaneously at inner and outer sides of train running through a tunnel, so that the coherence of the various noise sources of subway train to inner noise was evaluated.

The reduction of the vehicle interior noise has been the main interest of noise and vibration harshness(NVH) engineers. A passenger vehicle has various and complicated transmission paths of sound and vibration. In order to identify the mechanism of transfer path, estimation of excitation force and exact modeling of transfer path are required. This paper presents method for estimating the noise source contribution on the road noise of the vehicle in a multiple input system where the input sources may be coherent with each other. And vector synthesis technique is employed to identify the characteristics of road noise and its transmission to vehicle compartment through noise and vibration analysis. Vibration reduction efficiency of each transfer path is evaluated by comparing individual vector components obtained virtual simulation.

The problem of model selection arises in a number of contexts, such as subset selection in linear regression, estimation of structures in graphical models, and signal denoising. This paper studies non-asymptotic model selection for the general case of arbitrary (random or deterministic) design matrices and arbitrary nonzero entries of the signal. In this regard, it generalizes the notion of incoherence in the existing literature on model selection and introduces two fundamental measures of coherence-termed as the worst-case coherence and the average coherence-among the columns of a design matrix. It utilizes these two measures of coherence to provide an in-depth analysis of a simple, model-order agnostic one-step thresholding (OST) algorithm for model selection and proves that OST is feasible for exact as well as partial model selection as long as the design matrix obeys an easily verifiable property, which is termed as the coherence property. One of the key insights offered by the ensuing analysis in this regard is that OST can successfully carry out model selection even when methods based on convex optimization such as the lasso fail due to the rank deficiency of the submatrices of the design matrix. In addition, the paper establishes that if the design matrix has reasonably small worst-case and average coherence then OST performs near-optimally when either (i) the energy of any nonzero entry of the signal is close to the average signal energy per nonzero entry or (ii) the signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system is not too high. Finally, two other key contributions of the paper are that (i) it provides bounds on the average coherence of Gaussian matrices and Gabor frames, and (ii) it extends the results on model selection using OST to low-complexity, model-order agnostic recovery of sparse signals with arbitrary nonzero entries. In particular, this part of the analysis in the paper implies that an Alltop Gabor frame together with OST can successfully carry out model selection and recovery of sparse signals irrespective of the phases of the nonzero entries even if the number of nonzero entries scales almost linearly with the number of rows of the Alltop Gabor frame.

In this study, we investigate the effects of slots installed on the tip of a rotor blade on aerodynamic characteristics. The slots weaken the strength and spatial coherence of the tip vortex at early vortex age and accelerate the dissipation of the generated tip vortex. Accordingly, the turbulence intensity of the rotor wake is reduced at both near and far wake, which leads to a reduction in broadband noise. Tonal noise is also reduced by mitigation of tip vortices, but tonal noise reduction is limited to a narrower range of azimuths than broadband noise due to the extinction of tip vortices. In addition, slots reduce both mean thrust and thrust fluctuations. Reduction in thrust fluctuations leads to a reduction in blade loading noise, resulting in a reduction in tonal noise.

Noise of digital camera has been noticeable to its users. Particularly, noise of a barrel assembly module in zoom in/zoom out operation is recorded while taking a video. Reduction of barrel noise becomes crucial but there are not many studies on noise of digital camera due to its short history of use. In this study, experiment-based analyses are implemented to identify sources of noise and vibration because of complexity and compactness of the barrel system. Output noise is acquired in various operation conditions using synchronization for spectral analysis. Noise sources of a barrel assembly in zoom operating are first identified by the comparison with gear frequency analysis and then correlation analysis between noise and vibration is applied to confirm the generation path of noise. Analysis on noise transfer characteristic of zoom module is also carried out in order to identify the most contributing components. One of possible countermeasures of noise in zoom operating is investigated by an experimental approach.

본 논문은 인체에 무해하며 고분해능의 단층영상과 저가격 및 소형으로 제작이 가능하여 전세계적으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 광영상 단층촬영기(Optical coherence tomography system : OCT)에 관한 것이다. 이러한 OCT시스템은 검출되는 신호가 매우 미약하여 신호처리 및 영상화에 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 간섭계의 개선을 통해 신호대 잡음비(Signal to noise ration : SNR)가 향상되도록 하였다. OCT 시스템의 SNR 향상을 위하여 광원의 입력단에 광서큘레이터를 첨가하여 광원부에서 손실되는 단층영상신호를 검출할 수 있도록 간섭계를 개선하였다. SNR 특성평가로는 시뮬레이션을 통한 비교 분석과 기준 샘플의 측정값을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 측정된 데이터의 실시간 영상화를 위한 영상처리 프로그램을 구성하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로는 개선된 마이켈슨 간섭계가 약 10[dB] 개선됨을 확인하였으며, 기준시편을 이용하여 측정한 결과로는 약 5[dB]가 개선됨을 확인하였다. 개선된 마이켈슨 간섭계를 이용한 OCT 시스템이 보다 높은 대비도로 인해 선명도가 뛰어난 단층을 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

회전하는 거친금속표면에 s-편극된 레이저광을 $-30^{\circ}$로 입시시켜 생긴 후방산란파중 입사광과 동일한 편극을 가지는 후방산란파에 대하여 세기의 시간상관함수 $g_{s}^{(2)}(\tau)$를 측정하였다. 이 과정에서 광전신호로부터 $g_{s}^{(2)}(0)$의 측정을 할 때 수반되는 shot noise의 영향을 제하여 줌으로써 정확한 $g_{s}^{(2)}(0)$ 값을 얻었다. 각 산란각$\theta_{s}$에서$g_{s}^{(2)}(\tau)$는 {1+exp($-\tau^2/\tau_0^2$)}함수와 거의 일치하였는데, 이는 등속으로 회전하는 간유리를 투과하여 형성된 레이저 스펙클의 경우와 같은 결과이다. 또한, 산란각에 따른 $\tau_0$의 분포에서는 $\theta_s=34^{\circ}$에서 예리하게 최대값을 가지는 것이 관찰되었다. 이 연구에서, 다중산란이 10%를 넘는 금속판산란과 다중산란이 무시될 수 있는 간유리판산란이 같은 함수꼴의 세기의 시간상관함수를 갖는다는 사실이 확인되었다.
