The calculation of Zwicker's loudness which is needed for multiple frequency response with a fine frequency resolution using the finite element (FE) procedure usually requires significant computation time since a numerical solution must be obtained for each considered frequency. Furthermore, if the analysis is the basis for an iterative optimization procedure this approach imposes high computational cost. In this work, we present an efficient approach for obtaining Zwicker's loudness via the Pad$\acute{e}$ approximants and applying in an acoustical topology optimization procedure. The paper is focused on an efficient and accurate calculation of Zwicker's loudness, design sensitivity analysis, and the acoustical topology optimization method by using Pad$\acute{e}$ approximants. The paper compares the efficient algorithm to results obtained by a standard FEM. Comparison are made both in terms of accuracy and in terms of CPU-times needed for the calculation.

본 연구에서는 기존의 문헌에 자세히 기술되지 않은 주파수 분할 방법에 대한 고찰을 통해 과도음의 라우드니스 해석에 적합한 임계 대역 해석 방법을 제안하고, 이를 근거로 과도음의 라우드니스 모델을 구현하여 기존의 임상 실험 결과와의 비교함으로써 그 유효성을 확인하였다. 또한 순음의 라우드니스 해석에서 기존 라우드니스 모델이 안고 있는 신호해석 상의 문제점 등을 지적하고 이를 개선한 새로운 모델을 제시하였다. 개선 방법으로서 임계 대역폭의 1/2 간격으로 총 47개의 임계 대역 필터를 배치하여 필터의 경계에 순음이 존재할 때 발생할 수 있는 라우드니스 오차를 최소화 하였다. 또한 이 모델에서는 Zwicker가 제안했던 기존의 방법을 제안된 임계 대역 필터에 적합하도록 수정하는 작업이 포함되었다.

Feasibility of optimizing Zwicker's loudness has been shown by using MSC/NASTRAN, SYSNOISE, and a semi-analytical design sensitivity by Wang and Kang. Design sensitivity analysis of Zwicker's loudness is developed by using ANSYS, COMET, and an adjoint variable method in order to reduce computation. A numerical example shows significant reduction of computation time for design sensitivity analysis.

Floor impact noise has been evaluated by investigating the temporal and spectral characteristics of the noise. The noises generated by different impactors were analyzed to find out whether there is any correlation with the factors of ACF /IACF (Autocorrelation Function/Inter-aural Cross-correlation Function) [1] and Zwicker parameters [2]. Experiments were undertaken to compare the objective and subjective parameters of the floor impact noises generated by a bang/tapping machine, a rubber ball [3], and a walker. As a result, it was found that $\phi$ (0) and IACC extracted from ACF/IACF, and Loudness, Unbiased Annoyance from Zwicker parameters showed high correlation with subjective evaluations of loudness concerning floor impact noises. In addition, it was revealed that jumping is similar to the ball.

The design sensitivity analysis of Zwicker's loudness with respect to structural sizing design variables is developed. The loudness sensitivity in the critical band is composed of two equations, the derivative of main specific loudness with respect to 1/3-oct band level and global acoustic design sensitivities. The main specific loudness is calculated by using FEM, BEM tools. i.e. MSC/NASTRAN and SYSNOISE. And global acoustic sensitivity is calculated by combining acoustic and structural sensitivity using the chain rule. Structural sensitivity is obtained by using semi-analytical method and acoustic sensitivity is implemented numerically using the boundary element method. For sensitivity calculation, sensitivity analyzer of loudness (SOLO), in-house program is developed. A 1/4 scale car cavity model is optimized to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this research, the relationship between physical measurements and subjective evaluations of floor impact noise in apartment building was quantified by applying the neural network analysis due to its complex and nonlinear characteristics. The neural network analysis was undertaken by setting up L-value, inverse A index, Zwicker parameters and ACF/IACF factors, as input data, which came from the measurements at real suites of apartment building having various sound insulations. The subjective responses from the psychoacoustic experiments were extracted as output data. Then, the reliability of the quantitative prediction for the subjective loudness was evaluated.
