This research presents a laboratory study about an annoyance of impulsive sound caused by construction site(breaker and blasting). The sources are sampled from outdoor noise and their levels range from 40 to 75 dB at the interval of 5dB. The noise unit is based on A-weighted sound exposure level (ASEL; $L_{AE}$). To make equal ASEL of outdoor noise, finite impulse response (FIR) filter is applied to the originally sampled source to include the effect of distance attenuation. The evaluation method of jury test adopted a Semantic Difference Method (SDM). In the result of the Jury test for impulsive noise, the annoyance response of blasting noise was higher than that of breaker noise.

This research presents a laboratory study about an subjective response of impulsive sound caused by leisure shooting. The sources are sampled from outdoor noise and their levels range from 40 to 75 dB at the interval of 5dB. The noise unit is based on A-weighted sound exposure level (ASEL; $L_{AE}$). To make equal ASEL of outdoor noise, finite impulse response (FIR) filter is applied to the originally sampled source to include the effect of distance attenuation. The evaluation method of the jury test adopted a Semantic Difference(SD) Method. In the result of the jury test for impulsive noise, the mean response rating expressed a linear relation and %HA(percent highly annoyed) displayed a exponential growth relation.

Underwater impulsive sound such as underwater blasting noise, piling noise and stone breaking hammer affects marine animal hearing response and organs. This study describes the characteristics of various impulsive noise from waterfront construction site and their effect on fish. Time constant, peak pressure, energy and SEL(sound exposure level) of four different underwater impulsive sounds are quantified. Auditory and non-auditory tissue damage ranges are derived by comparing their quantities to the exposure criteria for fish. Damage ranges of auditory tissue and non-auditory tissue of underwater boring blast of 150 kg of charge, are about 100 m and 300 m, respectively. Other three impulsive sounds also gives damage effects but less than that of underwater boring blast.

The characteristics of the standard floor impact sources and the human impact source were investigated. First, the mechanical impedance of the each source was evaluated. Second, the impact force exposure levels and impact sounds level driven by the each source were measured. The results showed that the mechanical impedance and impact force exposure level of the impact ball are the most similar to those of the human impact source among the standard impact sources.

This paper introduces new approaches attempted to evaluate quantitatively the effects of repeated shocks exposed to human. This attempt, by the members of ISO TC 108 / CS4, has been made to add a standardised draft of ISO 2631 Part 1 which covers newly the human response to repeated shocks. It contains the review of previous work related to shocks responses to human and suggests a mathematical model to predict the three-axis lumbar spine accelerations from the measured seat accelerations. The predicted accelerations are used to evaluate the vibration dose to the spine. The evaluated dose values are shown to enable the assessment of adverse health effects.

현재 ISO 에서는 공구제조업체에서 해당 공구의 수전달 진동을 측정하여 제시하도록 하는 규격을 제정 중에 있으며, 이를 위해서는 공구에서 발생하는 진동과 영향을 평가하는 기술이 확보되어야 하며, 이 과정에서 측정 불확도 수준을 결정하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 동력 공구 작업시 작업자의 손으로 전달되는 진동을 측정하고 그 영향을 평가함에 있어서 발생할 수 있는 불확도를 분석하였다. 먼저, ISO 5349 규격을 적용함에 있어서 존재하는 불확도 인자들을 분류하고, 각 인자들이 어느 정도 수준의 불확도를 발생시키는지 시험을 통해서 확인하고 분석하였다.

The evaluation of the ride quality had been performed by the subjective method before ISO2631(International Organization for Stadard 2631) and BS6841(British Standard 6841) was precented, but many research programs have been performed by the objective method after that. On this study, the ride quality was evaluated related with the objective method which considered the vibration which the human body feels on the driver's seat while driving on the road. In particular, we made the shock absorber nonlinear model and also selected the suitable shock absorber in the part of the vibration which the human body feels into the simulation. The shock absorber of suspension was dealt with 3 cases respectively with the front wheel and rear wheel. The vibration of the car driving on the road can be transferred to the wheel, the suspension, the vehicle body, the seat and the human body. The signal which was gained from the seat(hip) and the floor(foot) of the human body was changed to the vibration signal which the human body felt through using the frequency weighting function. And then the performance of the shock absorber was calculated through the statistic processing.

The present study was performed to assess peripheral neural involvement by exposure to hand-arm vibration. Segmental sensory nerve conduction in the median and ulnar nerves were measured in shipyard workers exposed to vibration. The subjects were 47 male adults exposed to hand-arm vibration and 7 healthy male controls. The subjects underwent an extensive bilateral neurophysiological examination. Sensory compound nerve action potential (SNAP) of the median and ulnar nerves in palm-finger and wrist-palm segments were measured by antidromic method. And SNAP of the median and ulnar nerves in wrist-proximal finger and wrist-distal finger segments were measured by orthodromic method. Result of sensory nerve conduction study was abnormal in 31 patients $(66\%)$ and normal in 16 patients $(34\%)$ of subjects. The pathological pattern in the hand-arm vibration exposed group was 13 patients $(28\%)$ of carpal tunnel syndrome, 18 patients $(38\%)$ of distal sensory neuropathy, 7 patients $(15\%)$ of multifocal and 1 patient $(2\%)$ of Guyon syndrome. The present study indicates that vibration-induced nerve impairments exist both in the finger-palm and palm-wrist segment of median and ulnar sensory nerves. The results suggest that segmental sensory nerve conduction study would be useful as objective indication of peripheral nerve impairment induced by the hand-arm vibration.

This paper reviews some relevant criteria for the evaluation of ride quality of agricultural tractors. Although there still exist many deficiences and shortcomings, ISO 2631 'Guide for the evaluation of human exposure to whole body vibration' may be the most pertinent criterion to the ride quality evaluation of tractors. The effects of ride vibrations on the human health and performance were also reviewed and summarized in general terms.

가청범위의 주파수보다 낮은 소리, 즉 초저주파음과, 가청음 중 주파수가 낮은 음을 합하여 저주파음으로 분류하기도 하는데, 대략 100Hz 이하의 주파수를 갖는 음을 가리킨다. 인간이 느끼는 저주파음에 대한 영향은 여러 범위로 조사되고 있으며 주로 청력손실과 불쾌함에 미치는 영향에 초점을 맞추고 있다.(중략)
