The transmission loss coefficient is very important acoustic property in parallel with absorption and acoustic impedance categorizing the acoustical materials, which can control the acoustical problems. At the same time, the transmission loss coefficient is a key parameter to choose the optimum material for the analysis of acoustical characteristics of material using SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis). In this paper, the acoustic transmission loss measurement system using 4-microphone TL tube is applied to the exhaust system, which is one of the most important acoustic control parameters in a car, based on the idea calculating the full transfer matrix. The theoretical background and measurement system are introduced, and finally the measurement results are verified.

The aluminum extruded panel used for a high speed train shows the largest contribution to sound insulation performance of the train body. However, comparing with the flat panel having the same weight, the transmission loss falls sharply in the local resonance frequency band. Such fall of transmission loss can be improved by increasing the damping of local resonance. This study examines the charging effect of an urethane foam on the aluminum extruded panel of a high speed train. We charged the urethane foam with different mass density and in different way in the core part of the extruded panel. We measure the transmission loss and compare the sound insulation performance according to the density and charging method. Finally, Improvement effect of the transmission loss is compared and analysed in aspect of weight increment.

The effect of external leakage on the acoustic performance of Helmholtz resonators is experimentally and numerically investigated. The transmission loss of the Helmholtz resonator with a circular perforated hole is measured by using an impedance tube setup. The experimental results are then compared with one-dimensional analytical and three-dimensional numerical results. As the size of the hole increases, the peak of the transmission loss shifts to higher frequency, especially for the holes on the cavity. While the transmission loss is almost independent of the location of the hole on the cavity, the impact of the hole location on the neck on the transmission loss is not negligible. The results show that one-dimensional analytical method can predict the overall trends, whereas three-dimensional numerical method is necessary for more accurate predictions.

By this time, the study of mufflers has been progressed a lot. However, we don't have enough information about what some factors in muffler have an influence on transmission loss. So, we examined the tendency of the transmission loss depending on the porosity of perforated plates. We tested mufflers currently in use and changed porosity of perforated plates in mufflers to find out tendency of the transmission loss. As a result, the tendency of the transmission loss was shown differently depending on the position of perforated plate.

This study describes the limit and application of the two-microphone impedance tube method to the sound transmission loss measurement of several sound isolation materials with different physical properties. For the sound isolation materials having small flexural rigidity, it is shown that the two-microphone impedance tube method is validated to practically measure the sound transmission loss. For the sound isolation materials having large flexural rigidity, on the other hand, it is found that the two-microphone impedance tube method is no longer valid to measure the sound transmission loss because the regions of resonance and mass law are moved into the higher frequencies. In addition, in order to accurately measure the sound transmission loss of sound isolation materials, their size should be decided based on the consideration of the effect of acoustic excitation on their vibration response.

Knowledge of acoustic transmission loss of acoustic window material has a great importance for the sonar performance in ship. The purpose of this study was to investigate the measurement and analysis method for the acoustic transmission loss of the acoustic window materials for sonar dome. The measurement and analysis were carried out in water with GRP material. Transmission losses were calculated based on integrated direct and transmitted signals. The experimental setup enabled to vary the angle of incidence. Thus the transmission loss data could be expressed as the function of frequency and angle of rotation. In this paper, diffraction effect of incident angle, size of specimen with test material, transmission analysis method and multiple waves as incident acoustic signal were discussed.

The exhaust muffler is designed to reduce the engine noise with the minimum back pressure. It is composed of several elements, and we chose the five types of muffler elements : expansion, extended, offset, reversal, and perforated type. These elements are modeled with I-DEAS, and the transmission loss is analyzed with SYSNOISE, and the back pressure with STAR-CD. We verified the numerical results of transmission loss and pressure loss by experiments for the case of extended muffler. We find a database with the numerical results, which can be used in the design of exhaust muffler in the field.

Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) application study on enhancing the flexibility of AC power system has continued to make progress. A thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is a useful FACTS device that can control the power flow by adjusting line impedances and minimize the loss of power flow and voltage drop in a transmission system by adjusting line impedances. Reduced power flow loss leads to increased loadability, low system loss, and improved stability of the power system. This study proposes the optimal location and compensation rate method for TCSCs, by considering both the power system loss and voltage drop of transmission systems. The proposed method applies a multi-objective function consisting of a minimizing function for power flow loss and voltage drop. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using IEEE 14- and a 30-bus system.
