The changes in sound absorption capability and air permeability of Malas wood after high temperature heat treatment were investigated. The average air permeability of Malas in longitudinal direction after heated under the temperature of $190^{\circ}C$ during 3 hours was about 23.48 darcys and that of control was about 3.11 darcys. The noise reduction coefficients of Malas specimens were 17% for treatment and 10% for control. The means of sound absorption coefficient of specimens in the frequency range of 50~6,400 Hz were 42% for treatment and 17% for control, respectively.

다양한 공연장 및 대공간에서의 실내음향 제어를 위해서는 실내마감재료의 흡음 및 확산성능을 제어할 수 있는 재료가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 알루미늄 새시를 이용한 흡음구조를 개발하였으며, 흡음특성을 조사하기 위하여 수직입사 흡음계수와 잔향실법 흡음계수를 측정하였다. 수직입사 흡음계수 측정결과 알루미늄 다목적 흡음재의 타공구조와 인서트에 의해 형성되는 공간이 공명형 흡음기의 역할을 하여 중.저주파수 대역의 흡음계수가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 잔향실법 흡음계수 측정결과 알루미늄 새시를 이용한 흡음구조의 형성에 따라 공명주파수 대역보다 낮은 중저주파수 대역의 흡음계수가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 공기층 증가에 따라 공명주파수 이상 대역에서의 흡음률은 증가되고 주파수 대역별 흡음계수 편차도 감소되는 것으로 나타났으며, 고주파수 대역의 흡음률 향상을 위한 방안이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The sound absorption materials are generally classified by three types, such as porous, resonator, panel. All of these types are based on theory of energy transform from sound energy to thermal energy. At first, the sound energy transform from the porous type uses to friction and viscose resistance. Secondly, resonator type uses to resonance frequency, absorption coefficient reach the highest.(omitted)

Foamed aluminum is well known metallic porous sound absorption material which has excellent properties of light weight and high absorbing performance. For the purpose of finding out the sound field characteristics within a simple closed cubic enclosure with foamed aluminum, analytic and experimental studies are performed. For the first time, the standing wave apparatus is used to measure absorption coefficient and impedance of the foamed aluminum. Next, the sound effects of absorption material in acoustically loaded rectangular enclosure are identified according as the foamed aluminim is to be or not.

In concert halls and auditoriums, acoustic reflector and stage enclosure is one of the main factors on the room and stage acoustic characteristics. As a stage enclosure and acoustic reflector honey comb based light-weight reflector is widely used, because it is easy to install. However, there was not enough research on the surface density effect on room and stage acoustics. In this study, sound absorption coefficient tests on three kinds of wooden acoustic reflectors with different surface density were conducted. Surface density of acoustic reflector was changed from 11 kg/$m^2$ to 41 kg/$m^2$. For the low frequency excitation, sub-woofer was used with omnidirectional loud-speaker simultaneously. From the experiments, it was found that sound absorption coefficient below 250 Hz band was decrease by the increment of surface density. In order to check the influence of the surface density on room and stage acoustic parameters, room acoustic simulation was conducted with sound absorption coefficients, which were tested in reverberation chamber. By the increment of surface density of acoustic reflector, RT(reverberation time) and EDT(early decay time) were increased. Also, ST(stage support) was improved in low frequency bands.

In this study, the acoustic properties of polyester sound absorbing materials with three different bulk densities were investigated by calculating and measuring the acoustic parameters in terms of characteristic impedance, propagation constant, and absorption coefficient. For the calculations, Delany and Bazley's empirical equation was used together with the experimentally obtained specific flow resistivities under steady flow conditions. For the experimental measurements, the well-known two-thickness method was accessed. The experimentally measured values of characteristic impedance and propagation constant were generally agreed well with the corresponding calculated values. Based on the comparisons between the calculations and measurements, it was found that the magnitude of the absorption coefficient was closely related to the characteristic impedance and the real part of the propagation constant. Especially, the maximum magnitude of the absorption coefficient was depended upon the imaginary part of the propagation constant indicating the phase change of the propagation constant.

The purpose of this study is to develop a sound absorbing material for indoor which manufactured by a clay and binding material. The seven kind of sound absorbing specimens which sintered through a mold process at high temperature were manufactured for the purpose of testing sound absorption performance. The random and normal sound absorption coefficients were measured for the sintered clay sound absorbing specimens with different particle size, density and mixture ratio. From the experimental results, it was found that its particle size was closely related to the sound absorption performance. It was shown that the sintered clay sound absorbing specimen had the sound absorption properties of a fiber-type or a resonance-type sound absorbing material depending on the particle size.

This paper raises issues in testing the absorption coefficients of sound-absorptive samples using the standing wave apparatus according to the Korean standard of KS F 2814. The standard code does not consider any effect of air-damping which is significant in testing relatively low sound-absorptive samples. This limitation has been shown to yield much variation of sound absorption coefficients for recent samples tests whose coefficients are less than 10%. An improved method of calculating the sound absorption coefficients is proposed in this work and its effectiveness in real test is also illustrated. Finally, the guideline for the modification of our national standard code KS F 2814 is proposed.

The purpose of this paper is to examine sound absorption characteristics of sintered Al(aluminum) plate. Comparison between experiment and theoretical analysts by using empirical formula are made. Based on comparison. it is found that Voronina model gives more reasonable explanation for sound absorption characteristics of sintered Al plates. Effect of air gap with varying the thickness of plates are also investigated, which concludes that the air gap generally increase absorption but for too thick thickness of Al plates. Al plates with air gap shows 0.85∼0.9 of NRC(Noise Reduction Coefficient) measured in reverberation room. which is comparable to glass wool. Comparison between normal and random Incident absorption shows that random incident absorption is higher than normal incident absorption.

Eco-friendly material applied to building would be one of the materials which is must developed for global environmental conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide. For development of eco-friendly material, a cellulose absorber has been developed with waste paper through adjustment of various mix proportions. The developed cellulose absorber has been tested for its acoustic properties such as absorption coefficient and dynamic stiffness. The absorption coefficient was evaluated by developing six samples and using impedance tube and reverberation chamber. As a result of the evaluation, 0.64(NRC) was secured in absorption coefficient and 4.7 $MN/m^3$ was indicated in dynamic stiffness. Also, for practical use of developed absorbers as inner heartwood in drywall, comparison test of sound reduction index was performed with existing glass wool absorbers and constructed drywall of gypsum board. The results have shown 55 dB(Rw) of sound reduction index in glass-wool wall and 46 dB(Rw) in cellulose.
