This study developed a practical two-microphone impedance tube method to measure the sound transmission loss of sound isolation materials without the use of an expensive reverberation room or an acoustic intensity probe. In order to evaluate the validation and applicability of the two-microphone impedance tube method, sound transmission losses for several sound isolation materials with different surface density and bending stiffness were measured, and the measured values were compared with the results from the reverberation room method and the theory. From the experimental results, it was found that the accuracy of sound transmission loss obtained by the impedance tube method depends upon the diameter size of the impedance tube (i.e., tested sample size). For sound isolation materials having relatively large bending stiffness such as acryl, wood, and aluminum plates, it was found that the impedance tube method proposed by this study was not valid to measure the sound transmission loss. On the other hand, for sound isolation materials having relatively small bending stiffness such as rubber, polyvinyl, and asphalt sheets, the comparisons of transmission loss between the results from the impedance tube method and the theory showed a good agreement within the range of the frequencies satisfying the normal incidence mass law. Therefore, the two-microphone impedance tube method proposed by this study can be an effective measurement method to evaluate the sound transmission loss for soft sound isolation sheets having relatively small bending stiffness.

When the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN-based broadcasting services, we use broadcast packets to broadcast multimedia contents to a large number of users using limited wireless resources. However, broadcast transmission is difficult to recover the loss packets compared with unicast transmission. Therefore, analysis of packet loss characteristics is required to perform efficient packet recovery. The packet loss in wireless transmissions is often bursty with high loss data rate. Even if loss patterns have the same average packet loss, they are different in the recovery rate of random loss and burst loss depending on the nature. Therefore, the analysis and research of the nature of the loss are needed to recover loss packets considering bursty characteristics. In this paper, we experimented Wi-Fi broadcast transmission according to transmission rate and analyzed bursty characteristics of loss patterns using 4-state markov model.

Superconducting transmission cable is one of interesting part in power application using high temperature super-conducting wire as transformance. One important parameter in HTS cable design is transport current distribution because it is related with current transmission capacity and loss. In this paper, we present the calculation theory of current distribution for multi-layer cable using the electric circuit model and in example, calculation results of current distribution and AC loss in each layer of 4-layer HTS transmission cable.

Silencers are extensively used for reducing noise in an exhaust system of internal combustion Engine and fluid machineries. The prediction and measurement of the transmission loss as the acoustic performance of silencers are important in early design stage. In the measurement of transmission loss, the semi-anechoic terminations are general used for reducing unwanted effects by reflecting wave. However it is very hard to remove reflecting wave perfectly. So the research about the error made by reflecting wave is important. The analysis about errors made by reflections and modification techniques are proposed. For an application example, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is chosen. The transmission loss of DPF is measured with and without considerations of reflecting wave.

This study deals with the sound insulation performance of the damping sheet, which is widely used in a train. The wall of train is assumed to be a plate made of steel and two damping sheets. In case of damping sheet only, the sound transmission loss follows the mass law. If a steel plate is attached to damping sheet, the transmission loss is found to be higher than single of only steel plate, as we can anticipated, about $3{\sim}5$ dB. This is very well known consequence that is because the density of area increases. However, the increase of the transmission loss is not higher than what we can expect by the mass law. That's because the steel is perfectly blocked from the transmission of the air ; There is no defect in that material.

Nowadays shear wall structural system is gradually changing to framed structure. For this reason, lightweight panel is increasingly being used as separating walls. One of design methods to obtain high transmission loss is double panel. To predict the acoustic performance of double panel, prediction of transmission loss of single panel must be performed, previously. In this study, the predicted values for four single panels were compared with the measured values. The result shows the arithmetical average deviations(100Hz to 3150Hz) between the predicted and measured transmission loss were in range between 1.1dB and 3.9dB. The predicted values were generally lower than measured values above critical frequency. The single-number quantities, $R_W+C$, were predicted in range between 36dB to 38dB, and the differences of single-number quantities between the predicted and measured value were within 1dB.

Transmission Loss Factor (TLF) is one of the key factors affecting transmission pricing which should capture the intrinsic characteristics of competitive electricity markets and be amenable to the agreement of the market participants. This paper proposes a practical methodology which enhances the utility and applicability of TLF which is vulnerable to the choice of slack bus, computation methodologies, and incremental generation (or incremental load). The proposed methodology is demonstrated with a case study.

This paper presents an application of UML(Unified Modeling Language) to develop the Transmission Loss Calculation Package (TLCP) and shows a feasibility of UML design for the power system analyzing software. In the rapidly restructuring electric power industry, it is required the development of efficient and transparent transmission pricing mechanism. This should be based to calculate an accurate transmission loss to prompt a fair competition and to give unbiased signals to all the market players. For those reasons, it is necessary to develop a software system for transmission loss calculation. In this paper, we design the TLCP based on UML, and describe using Rational Rose 2000.

Frame structures of High speed train are constructed from corrugated panel and aluminum extruded panel, which have high bending stiffness. Transmission loss of those panels, however, is less satisfactory than other panels with same mass per unit area. Therefore, this study predicted transmission loss of aluminum extruded panels using Finite element method. Specifically, we modeled acoustic cavity above a radiation surface and analyzed correlation between T-slot and transmission loss. Moreover, we examined the effect of boundary condition changes of the structure on transmission.

In this paper, broadband shunt technique for increasing transmission loss is experimentally investigated. Piezoelectric shunt damping is studied using resonant shunt circuit and negative capacitor shunt circuit. A resonant shunt circuit is implemented by using a resistor and inductor. Negative Capacitor shunt damping is similar in nature to resonant shunt damping techniques, as a single piezoelectric material is used to dampen multi-mode. Performance of both methods is experimentally studied for noise reduction. This is based upon SAE J1400 test method and a transmission loss measurement system is provided for it. This paper will present the test setup fer transmission loss measurement and the tuning procedure of shunt circuits. Finally the results of sound transmission tests will be shown.
