Ultrasonic cleaning at high frequency near 1MHz, called megasonic cleaning, is commonly used to remove particles less than 1.mu.m by generating accelerations on them. Ultrasonic waves generated from piezoelectric transducers are transmitted through a non-metallic inner container which is used to isolate a cleaning object from metallic ions. The transmission characteristics of a double-structured megasonic cleaner on the variations of parameters such as the thickness and oblique angle of a inner container, chemical ratio of a cleaning agent and temperature and transmittivity are investigated. The results are used to determine an optimum cleaning condition.

In this paper, a hybrid sensor is proposed that has two capabilities: The first is to sense longitudinal of flexural elastic waves selectively which are transmitted along the targe shaft, the second to measure the rotating speed of the shaft. All measurement are made in a noncontact manner since this sensor uses magnetostriction as its measuring principles. Furthermore, the switching between these two sensing capabilities are accomplished by a very simple mechanical operation. To verify the capabilities of the Proposed sensor, an Prototype sensor are fabricated and the experiments are made. The result shows this sensor can embody two sensing capabilities in one sensor configuration.

This paper presents active noise control for the reduction of transmission noise passing through opening of enclosures. Enclosures are essential measure to protect noise propagation from operating machinery. Access openings of the enclosures are important path of noise leakage. First, we modeled and analyzed the noise characteristics passing through the openings of the enclosure generated by the operation of the machinery based on the finite element method. We then implemented a feedforward controller to actively control the acoustic power through the opening. Finally, we conducted optimization of placement of the reference sensors for several cases of the number of sensors. A good control performances were achieved using a minimum number of microphones arranged a optimal placement.

Vibrational analysis of slab tracks for HSR(High Speed Rail) is performed in order to find dynamic characteristics and to control noise and vibration for the tracks. Wheel-rail interactive force is included in the analysis by modelling the vehicle and track as an unsprung mass and elastically-supported-double-beam respectively, and both are assumed to be connected by the Hertzian spring. From this study, it has been found that vibration in the track and the force transmitted to the infrastructure could be reduced by controlling elasticity, mass and stiffness of the track supporting system appropriately.

This study is proposed a new hybrid mount having a moving-magnet type electromagnetic actuator to reduce the vibration transmitted from naval shipboard equipment to the structure of the ship's hull. Optimal design specifications are determined through experimental analysis. The detailed design of the hybrid mount is determined through several design steps with electromagnetic numerical analysis using Maxwell Software(S/W). The hybrid mount that combines a rubber mount and an electromagnetic actuator has a fail-safe function for shock resistance. The mount is fabricated and tested using a universal testing machine to evaluate the design specifications. Finally, numerical simulation of the hybrid mount is performed to confirm control performance and applicability.

The aircraft engine is usually supported by rolling element bearings and has a small damping rate, which is vol y sensitive to external force. The high-performance requirement of the rotors leads to complex assembly designs and are more flexible. Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are introduced to provide damping while crossing the critical speeds and stability to the rotor s :stem. Hence, the focus of the present investigation is on the decision of an optimal size of the flexible rotor system supported by the squeeze film dampers to minimize the maximum transmitted load and unbalance response over a range operating speeds. The enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA), which was developed by authors, is used in the optimization process. This algorithm is based on the synthesis of a modified genetic algorithm and simplex method. The results show significant benefits in using EGA when compared with nonlinear programming (NLP).

This study focuses on the element configuration of hybrid mounts which are combined with passive elements and active elements. The seven configurations are presented according to connection of an active element to a passive element. The dynamic characteristics and control performance of them are investigated qualitatively using Bode plots. With reference to the transmitted force from internal to external, three cases are selected. In addition, some numerical simulations for the three cases are carried out to confirm the performance quantitatively. Based on this research results, a novel hybrid mount with excellent performance will be able to be developed.

A technique is presented that uses a new guided wave technique for sludge and blockages detection in long-range pipelines. Existing techniques have the limitations that the sludge position needs to be known a priori and the area to be inspected needs to be accessible. Two guided wave techniques have been developed which allow the sludge or blockages to be detected remotely without the need to access the specific location where the pipe is blocked, nor to open the pipe. The first technique measures the reflection of guided waves by sludge which can be used to accurately locate the blocked region; the second technique detects sludge by revealing the changes to the transmitted guided waves propagating in the blocked region or after it. The two techniques complement each other and their combination leads to a reliable sludge or blockage detection. Various types of realistic sludge have been considered in the study and the practical capabilities of the two techniques have been demonstrated.

Noise barriers are widely used to reduce the sound level propagating from highways, railways or factories to residential areas. The reduced noise level at a receiver point is then determined by the diffracted waves around the edge of the barrier as well as by the transmitted waves through the barrier. For proper usage, many studies either theoretical or experimental have been made with the objective of precisely predicting the acoustic field and improving the noise attenuating properties of barriers. In this study, a simple scattering model, a line acoustic source scattered by an infinite cylinder, is introduced to simply investigate the sound attenuation efficiency of a sound-resonating barrier. From this model study, it is observed that the sound-resonating barrier can be used as a good sound-shielding element especially for the pure-tone noise generated from the transformer. Large sound-attenuation is achieved by applying the sound-resonating barrier to the large transformers in a substation.

A new concept of piezoelectric smart panels for noise reduction in wide band frequencies is proposed and their possibility is experimentally investigated. Multi-mode damping is studied by using a newly proposed tuning method. The proposed panels are based on passive shunt damping methods. This method is based on electrical impedance model and maximizing the dissipated energy at the shunt circuit. four PZT are attached on smart panel for improving performance of transmission noise reduction. 0 prove the concept of piezoelectric smart panels, an acoustic measurement experiment was performed. The smart panels exhibit a good noise reduction in middle and high frequency ranges due to the mass effects of absorbing materials or/and the air gap. The use of piezoelectric smart panel renders noise reduction at resonance frequency. Noise reduction at multiple resonance frequencies is experimentally investigaed.
