This paper proposes a method for the acoustic imaging wherein the traditional requirement of the relative movement between the transmitter and target is overcome. This is facilitated through the beamforming acoustic array in the transmitter, in which the target is illuminated by the array at various azimuth and elevation angles without the physical movement of the acoustic array. The concept of beam steering of the acoustic array facilitates the formation of the beam at desired angular positions of azimuth and elevation angles. This paper substantiates that the combination of illumination of the target from different azimuth and elevation angles with respect to the transmitter (through the beam steering of beam forming acoustic array) and the beam steering at multiple frequencies (through SF) results in enhanced reconstruction of images of the target in the underwater scenario. This paper also demonstrates the possibility of reconstruction of the image of a target in underwater without invoking the traditional algorithms of Digital Image Processing (DIP). This paper comprehensively and succinctly presents all the empirical formulae required for modelling the acoustic medium and the target to facilitate the reader with a comprehensive summary document incorporating the various parameters of multi-disciplinary nature.

천해에서의 수중음장 계산에서 음향 임피던스를 해저면 입력인자로서 도입하는 방안의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 먼저 탄성 해저면에서의 음파반사 특성을 고찰한 결과, 임계 접지각 이하에서 음향 임피던스는 접지각이 거의 $0^{\circ}$에 가까울 때의 임피던스 $Z_0$ 1개 값으로 근사가 가능함을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성과 'effective depth' 개념을 접목시켜 전달손실을 계산한 결과, 수중음장 계산에서 임피던스를 해저면 음향 특성을 나타내는 입력인자로 사용하는 것이 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Acoustic emission technique is applied to the fatigue crack initiation in a carburized gear tooth. Acoustic emission test performed on carburized gear and three-point bending test equal to carburized gear hardness. The marked acoustic emission are detected at the early stage of crack initiation measured by a crack gauge and the final stage just before the tooth failure. The estimated acoustic emission energy rate are characteristic of the measured acoustic emission.

Acoustic performance of the absorptive mufflers used in air-conditioning and ventilating ducts, gas turbines, industrial fans influenced by the design parameters such as the length of mufflers, lining thickness, properties of the acoustic lining, and so forth. So we predicted the acoustic performance according to the design parameters. For the analysis, we assumed the radial propagation constant is locally reacted to the acoustic lining, and analyzed the acoustic performance based on the plane wave theory by using four-pole parameters.

The effect of moisture content on acoustic absorption coefficient and impedance of the woods of Pinus densiflora, Chamaecyparis pisifela, Cryptomeria japonica, Abies koreana, Melia azedarch var. japonica, Shorea bracteolata and Shorea acuminata was investigated by standing wave method. The results obtained are summarized as follows: The acoustic absorption coefficient increased with increasing moisture content, but acoustic impedance decreased with increasing moisture content.

In underwater acoustic communication, acoustic signals from transducers or hydrophones are used. And the underwater acoustic communication channels are very complicated, because of vertical distribution of acoustic velocity according depths, and reflections from boundaries like as surface or bottom. For the implementation of the underwater acoustic communication channel, the image method or ray tracing method have been used. In this paper, we introduce a new approach for implementation of underwater acoustic communication channel using the simulation of the Transmission Line Matrix Modeling and cross-correlations from the input and output signals.

In this paper a simple measurement technique for mechanical-acoustic transfer functions is proposed . The mechanical-acoustic transfer functions, generally , are measured through mechanical excitations ; impact hammers or shakers. Recently , by virtue of vibro-acoustical reciprocity principle, they are measured through acoustic excitations : loudspeakers. This kind of test needs to measure the volume velocity , the radiation characteristics of a sound source. Because the volume velocity of the sound source is changed by driving signal , it is difficult to measure it. However , the new method in this paper needs not to measure the volume velocity of a sound source by combination of mechanical and acoustic excitations. Moreover, this method has the methodological advantages, such as usage of a general loudspeaker for the reciprocal excitation, no sptatial limitations for measurements of mechanical-acoustic transfer functions.

This paper presents a new framework for integrating untranscribed spoken content into the acoustic training of an automatic speech recognition system. Untranscribed spoken content plays a very important role for under-resourced languages because the production of manually transcribed speech databases still represents a very expensive and time-consuming task. We proposed two new methods as part of the training framework. The first method focuses on combining initial acoustic models using a data-driven metric. The second method proposes an improved acoustic training procedure based on unsupervised transcriptions, in which word endings were modified by broad phonetic classes. The training framework was applied to baseline acoustic models using untranscribed spoken content from parliamentary debates. We include three types of acoustic models in the evaluation: baseline, reference content, and framework content models. The best overall result of 18.02% word error rate was achieved with the third type. This result demonstrates statistically significant improvement over the baseline and reference acoustic models.

Gas pulsation discharged from the cylinder causes noise in the rotary compressor. Mufflers are usually used to reduce the noise generated by the gas pulsation. The muffler has been designed to maximize the acoustic transmission loss of the muffler. The gas which went through muffler is discharged to the cavity in compressor. Thus, the acoustic characteristics of cavity should be taken into account in muffler design. In this paper, the program for the acoustic substructure synthesis method is developed. This program can be interfaced with SYSNOISE which is commercial acoustic package. Several types of mufflers designed to have the better acoustic performance are suggested in this work and compared with the existing commerical muffler in the compressor. The acoustic performance of mufflers taking into consideration of the cavity in the compressor is also carried out by the developed program.

The experimental and analytical study was conducted to determine the noise transmission characteristics of acoustically loaded steel plate of rectangular enclosure and to investigate the sound radiation characteristics through out the enclosure. The vibrations of acoustically loaded plate give rise to sound radiations and generate the reverberant space that the sound field exists very close to a vibrating plate. Acoustic transmission loss is measured from the incident intensity into the plate and the transmitted intensity through out the plate. Sound radiation patterns are measured from both acoustic intensity technique and surface intensity technique. Those resultant patterns and vibrational modes are vital in understanding the relations between vibration and noise in the near field out of vibrating plate.
