This study is concerned with the temperature dependence characteristics of ultrasound parameters in biological tissues, which are basic on the noninvasive deep body temperature estimation. Used parameters are ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and sound velocity In order to accomplishment our purpose, several signal processing methods were used. Attenua4iorl coefficient was estimated by spectral difference method and sound velocity was estimated by P-P method. And we also examined these methods through a series of IN VITRO experi mentis that used tissue-mimicking phantom samples and biological tissue samples. In order to imitate the biological soft tissue two kinds of phantom samples are used, one is agar phantom sample which is composed of agar, graphite, N-propyl alcohol and distilled water, and the other is fat phantom sample which is composed of pure animal fat. And the ultrasound transmission mode and reflection mode experiments are performed on the pig's spleen, kidney and fat. As a result, it is found that the temperature characteristics are uniform in case of phan- tom samples but not in biological tissues because of complicate wave propagation within them. Consequently, the possibility of temperature measurement using ultrasound on biological tissue is confirmed and its results may contribute to the establishment of reference values of internal temperature measurement of biological tissues.

This study presents novel electromagnetic wave-based methods for evaluating the integrity of cement-based structures using time domain reflectometry (TDR). Two cement-based plates with embedded rebars are prepared under sound and defective conditions. TDR tests are carried out using transmission lines with various numbers of artificial joints, and electromagnetic waves are measured to assess the integrity of the plates. The experimental results show that the travel time of electromagnetic waves is consistently longer in sound plates than in defective ones, and an increase in the reflection coefficients is observed in the defect zone of the defective plates. Electromagnetic wave velocities are higher in the defective plates, especially when connectors are present in the transmission line. A novel approach based on the area of the reflection coefficient provides larger areas in the defective plates, and the attenuation effect of the electromagnetic waves induces a difference in the areas of the reflection coefficient between the two defect conditions. An alternative method using the centroid of the defect zone slightly overestimates the location of the defect zone. The length of the defect zone is estimated using the defect ratio and wave velocities of cement, air, and plate. The length of the defect zone can also be calculated using the travel times within the plate, total measured length of the plate, and wave velocities in the cement and air. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave-based methods proposed in this study may be useful for estimating the location and length of defect zones by considering attenuation effects.

기하음향학 방법들을 이용한 중주파수 해석의 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 소리의 전파에서 위상 정보를 고려한 위상 기하음향학 방법이 제안되었다. 위상 기하음향학 방법은 위상정보를 고려하여 중주파수 대역의 간섭 현상을 설명할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들을 이용하여 소리의 파동성으로 대표되는 저주파수 현상들을 모두 설명할 수 없다. 특히 저주파수 대역에서는 모서리나 장애물에 의한 회절현상을 고려하지 못하여 전달함수나 충격응답의 예측시 오차가 발생한다. 또한 실수인 흡음 계수를 사용한 해석 결과는 측정치와 차이를 보이므로 반사 계수의 잘못된 위상 정보는 교정되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 균일 회절 이론을 병합한 위상 빔 추적법의 결과를 기존의 위상 빔 추적법의 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 벽면 반사계수의 위상을 변화시키며 위상 정보의 영향을 조사하였다. 제안된 오차 보정 방법들을 이용하면, 좀더 낮은 주파수 대역까지 정확성을 향상시켜 위상 빔 추적법을 실내음향 예측에 적용할 수 있다.

Recently, reduction of road traffic noise in residential buildings has become one of the most important subjects. To reduce the road traffic noise, noise impact assessment by the road traffic prediction model is required before building construction. For reasonable road traffic noise prediction, it is required to analysis of various factors in road traffic prediction models. This paper was studied the road traffic noise propagation factors such as distance from road to building, receiver height, alignment angle of building and reflection coefficient of the building facade by two calculation models, RLS-90 and CRTN. The result showed that noise reduction was generally higher at bottom stories by ground absorption effect. The reflection coefficient of the building facade was affect of additional sound pressure level by facade reflecting. And alignment angle of building at $90^{\circ}$ was performed effective noise reduction better than $0^{\circ}$.

The test facility has been manufactured to predict the dynamic insertion loss and the pressure drop for ducted silencers based on ISO 7235. The qualification test of the test facility is necessary for determining the dynamic insertion loss and the pressure drop of the test silencer, and is surveyed the reflection coefficient for an anechoic termination, the velocity profile near the upstream connection to the test silencer, the reduction of the system silencer and the limiting insertion loss due to the flanking sound transmission along the duct walls.

음선 모델링에서 다층 해저 바닥을 고려하는 경험적 방법 중 하나는 단일층 가정으로써, 다층 구조에 대한 평면파 반사계수를 사용하는 것이다. 본 연구자는 이층 해저 바닥에 대해 단일 층 가정의 유효성을 조사하고, 음속비, 송수신 거리 당 층 두께, 1차 반사파의 스침각의 함수로 표현되는 간단한 부등식 조건을 얻었다. 부등식 조건으로부터, 단일 층 가정이 실제 해양 환경의 중주파수 음선 모델링에 적용될 수 있음을 보였다. 마지막으로 한국 동해와 유사한 해양환경에 대해 수치실험을 수행하였다. 다층 해저 바닥에 대한 평면파 반사계수를 적용한 기하학적 빔 모델을 이용하여 비상관 전달손실을 계산하고, 서울대학교에서 개발한 포물선 방정식 패키지인 SNUPE 2.0의 결과와 비교하였다.

This study proposes a optimized shape of diffuser profile through investigating the scattering and diffusion characteristics of diffusers. The scattering coefficient according to ISO 17497-1 evaluates uniformity of reverberant sound field of late reflections, while the diffusion coefficient according to AES-4id-2001 evaluates polar response of early reflections. Thus both scattering and diffusion characteristics should contribute to design shape of diffusers to maximize physical performance. To find out design method, the previous results on hemisphere diffusers are reviewed. The frequency characteristics of scattering coefficients depended on the structural height of the diffusers, while amount of scattering coefficients depended on the surface coverage density of the diffusers. However absorptive properties also increased with augment of surface coverage density, thus optimum coverage density should be considered. For the directional diffuser, three types of 2D-diffusers are proposed; semicylinder of h=5mm, semi-truncated cone of h=5-25mm and semicylinder of h=25mm. As results, diffusers with the maximum height of 25mm show the highest scattering coefficients, while diffuser of h=5mm shows high scattering coefficients only at the high-frequency bands. Diffusion coefficient will be investigated for diffusive properties of the early reflection.

쐐기각이 다른 4종류의 쐐기형 수중음파 흡수타일을 설계, 제작하고 각각의 흡음타일에 대한 반사음장의 크기를 측정하였다. 흡음타일의 정면에서 측정한 반사음장의 크기는 실험한 4개의 타일중 쐐기의 꼭지각이 30$^{\circ}$일 때 최소값을 갖고 120$^{\circ}$일 때 최대값을 가졌다. 쐐기형 흡음타일의 꼭지각이 클수록 그 반사계수가 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 본 실험에 사용된 10kHz~30kHz 주파수 범위에서 쐐기각이 같은 흡음판에 의한 반사음장의 크기는 주파수와 무관하였다. 그리고 쐐기형 흡음타일 후면에서 측정한 반사음장의 크기는 흡음판의 형태와 실험에 사용된 주파수들에 무관한 일정한 값을 가졌다. 쐐기형 흡음타일의 반사음장에 대한 측정값과 수치모델에 의한 계산값은 대체로 잘 일치하였다.

In this paper, using a transfer function-based analytical model, major factors influencing the acoustics and combustion instability in a two-stage duct system composed of a nozzle and a combustor were derived and their quantitative effects were evaluated. From the acoustic analysis, it was confirmed that the change in reflection coefficient and mean flow could have a great influence on the instability growth rate, and the area ratio and speed of sound ratio between the nozzle and the combustor are also key parameters to determine combustion instability as well as flame transfer functions.
