Sound intensity techniques and ODS(Operational Deflection Shape) techniques are applied to identify the acoustic noise source of a hard disk drive and its control system. The sound intensity is used to visualize the noise source locations, and the ODS information to visualize the vibration pattern and to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the noise sources. The measurement systems are customized to accurately measure the sound intensity and ODS distributions of HDD system in space domains as well as frequency domains. The measurement systems for the sound absorption and transmission loss of materials are also used to support the background data for the efficient noise control. Using the visual information of source locations and its dynamic characteristics, the partial noise barrier structure and optimum absorption are designed and its controlled sound power level is proved to be under 3.1 Bel(Idle)/3.3Bel (Seek) which is the lowest level in the disk drive industry.

In the corrugated steel panels used for railway vehicles, sound insulation performance is significantly deteriorated by local resonance effect. In this study, as a countermeasure, polyurethane foam is filled in the corrugated steel panel and glass wool layer is inserted in the layered floor panel, and then improvement effect of the sound insulation performance is experimentally estimated. Based on ASTM E2249-02, intensity transmission loss is measured and estimated on the corrugated panel and floor structure. The aim of the study is to identify how the foam filling and inserting glass wool layer improve the sound insulation performance of the train body structure in aspect of the weight increment.

This paper considers acoustic characteristics of silencer within a dry vacuum pump. The main objective is to reduce noise in dry vacuum pump using the new designed silencer. First, SPL and sound intensity are measured for noise source identification and the new model silencer is designed corresponding to noise characteristics. 4-pole parameters are used to predict the transmission loss which is one of the interest characteristics of the new silencer. The calculated transmission loss is then used to change main effective factor and optimal value is selected by using design of experiment. By conducting an experiment, it is proved that the new designed silencer has reduced noise level by 6 dB(A) more than the original one.

In this study, sound transmission loss (STL) is investigated on the multi-layered windows used in the KTX-sancheon and next generation HEMU-400x high speed train. Using TLOSS, which is developed as a special purpose STL analysis program, STLs of the multi-layered glass windows are analytically investigated and compared with the mass law result. Window specimens for the two train models are manufactured and intensity transmission losses are measured based on ASTM E2249-02. The problems in aspect of sound insulation are diagnosed on the two window models. The aim of this study is to provide useful data for the improvement of the interior noise in the high speed train.

In Korean tilting trains, honeycomb composite panels are used for high speed and light weight. The side wall of a tilting train consists of an aluminum honeycomb coated with carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy skin and a nomex honeycomb panel as the main structure, with glass wool inserted between the panels. In this study, based on ASTM E2249-02, we measure the intensity sound transmission loss (TL) of the honeycomb composite panels. Using mass law deviation (MLD), we estimate the sound insulation performance of the honeycomb composite panels in terms of their weight and explore the feasibility of substituting a conventional corrugated steel panel. The transmission-loss data of the honeycomb composite panels obtained in the study will be used to establish noise-reduction measures for train compartments.

Aluminum extruded panel used in a high speed train shows high stiffness, however, its sound insulation performance is remarkably decreased by local resonance phenomena. In this paper, improvement strategy of the sound insulation performance is proposed for the floor extruded panel used in HEMU-400x, 400km/h class next generation high speed train under development, and the improvement effect is verified by experiment. Aluminum extruded panel specimen for the floor is manufactured and urethane foam is installed in the core of the panel. Based on ASTM E2249-02, intensity transmission loss is measured and the improvement effect in local resonance frequency band is verified. Finally, improvement effect of the sound insulation performance is estimated on the layered floor structure including the foamed aluminum panel.

각종 홀 (음악홀, 극장, 사무실건물)의 공조 덕트계에는 미로형소음챔버가 설 치되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 소음장치를 건물내부에 설치하는 경우에는 건물 설계단계에서부터 소음챔버로 인한 감음양(투과손실 : Transmission Loss)의 예측계산이 중요하다. 그렇지만, 일반적인 소음장치는 그 형상이나 내표면의 흡음조건이 아주 복잡하기 때문에, 현단계에서는 간단한 이론만으로 투과손 실예측이 거의 불가능하다. 지금까지 이 문제에 대해서 유한요소법(Finite Element Method : FEM)을 이용해 검토한 예가 종종 소개되었으나, 대부분 소음챔버의 입구와 출구에서의 임의의 점에 대한 음압비를 투과손실로서 구 하고 있다. 그러나, 소음기자체의 실질적인 투과손실특성을 알기 위해서는 소음기의 입력 파워에 대한 출력파워의 비로서 구하지 않으면 안된다. 따라 서, 본 연구에서는 유한요소법에 의한 복소음향인텐시티(Complex sound intensity)의 수치계산법을 각종소음기 (팽창형, 미로형)의 투과손실해석에 적 용하기 위하여 이론적인 면에서 고찰했으며, 프로그램도 개발하여 모델해석 에 적용하였다. 또한, 위에서 언급된 수치해석법의 타당성의 검증을 위하여, 측정에 의한 투과손실예측방법으로서 크로스스펙트럼(Cross Spectrum)법에 의한 음향인텐시티계측법의 이용에 대해서 이론적으로 고찰했으며, 그 이론 을 기초로 한 축척 모형실험을 병행하였다.
