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 work, Altair Engineering's vibroacoustic modeling approach is used to simulate the acoustic signature of a simplified automobile in a wind tunnel. The modeling approach relies on a two step procedure involving simulation and extraction of acoustic sources using a high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation followed by propagation of the acoustic energy within the structure and passenger compartment using a structural dynamics solver. The tools necessary to complete this process are contained within Altair's HyperWorks CAE software suite. The CFD simulations are performed using AcuSolve and the structural simulations are performed using OptiStruct. This vibroacoustics simulation methodology relies on calculation of the acoustic sources from the flow solution computed by AcuSolve. The sources are based on Lighthill's analogy and are sampled directly on the acoustic mesh. Once the acoustic sources have been computed, they are transformed into the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with advanced sampling and are subsequently used in the structural acoustics model. Although this approach does require the CFD solver to have knowledge of the acoustic simulation domain a priori, it avoids modeling errors introduced by evaluation of the acoustic source terms using dissimilar meshes and numerical methods. The aforementioned modeling approach is demonstrated on the Hyundai Simplified Model (HSM) geometry in this work. This geometry contains flow features that are representative of the dominant noise sources in a typical automobile design; namely vortex shedding from the passenger compartment A-pillar and bluff body shedding from the side view mirrors. The geometry also contains a thick poroelastic material on the interior that acts to reduce the acoustic noise. This material is modeled using a Biot material formulation during the structural acoustic simulation. Successful prediction of the acoustic noise within the HSM geometry serves to validate the vibroacoustic modeling approach for automotive applications.

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.

Chirp sonar 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 광역주파수 음향반사자료의 감쇠특성을 나타내는 음향학적 분류변수를 고안하였다. 분류변수는 퇴적물 물성에 따른 분산효과에 의한 감쇠특성을 나타내며, 음향반사신호의 푸리에 변환을 이용한 unwrapped 위상의 미분치로부터 구하였다. 그리고 각기 다른 퇴적상을 나타내는 지점에서 획득된 음향반사신호의 지질음향모델링을 통하여 퇴적물 물성에 따른 감쇠특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 분류변수는 입자크기와 성분에 따른 퇴적물 형태와 해저면 굳기에 따라 값의 차이를 보였으며, 이는 음향자료로부터 직접 해저면을 분류하는데 효과적으로 사용할 수 있다.

Speech production can be viewed as a filtering operation in which a sound source excites a vocal tract filter. The vocal tract is modeled as a chain of cylinders of varying cross-sectional area in linear prediction acoustic tube modeling. In this modeling the most common implementation assumes equal length of tube sections. Therefore, to model complex vocal tract shapes, a large number of tube sections are needed. This paper proposes a new vocal tract model with unfixed sectionlengths, which uses the reduced lattice filter for modeling the vocal tract. This model transforms the lattice filter to reduced structure and the Burg algorithm to modified version. When the conventional and the proposed models are implemented with the same order of linear prediction analysis, the proposed model can produce more accurate results than the conventional one. To implement a system within similar accuracy level, it may be possible to reduce the stages of the lattice filter structure. The proposed model produces the more similar vocal tract shape than the conventional one.

Acoustic volume backscattering strength data were collected and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) measurements were conducted in the southern Yellow Sea in summer 2005 and 2006. The high temporal and vertical resolution acoustic data measured with a 307 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and a 250 kHz acoustic Doppler profile (ADP) had dominant diel variation, which resulted from vertical migration of sound scatterers. Some scatterers congregating in the bottom layer in the daytime migrated upward at dusk, and migrated downward into the bottom layer at dawn. The migration speeds were estimated. More than 33 days data show that the diel migration varies with time. The feature of migration measured with ADCP and ADP is consistent to some extent with what is described in the study on vertical migration of zooplankton in the southern Yellow Sea with conventional net samples.

In this paper, horn loudspeaker modeling was suggested, investigated and verified through comparison of test results and simulation ones based on input electrical impedance curves and acoustic sensitivity ones. First, Thiele Small parameters of horn driver were identified by using pseudo loudspeaker model concept and verified in case of both closed and open horndriver. Second, cone-shaped horn models were investigated and compared with input acoustic impedance curves for real horn(cone angle $6.6^{\circ}$) and short horn(cone angle $27.9^{\circ}$). It showed that Leach model for cone horn was well described to test results, which were electrical impedance and acoustic sensitivity, compared to Lemaitre one. To represent horn system model good approximation in wide frequency range, mass correction filter and lowpass filter were adopted and consequently showed good fitted to test results.

본 논문은 건축음향 설계에 있어서 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 정밀도 향상을 위한 3차원 모델의 구체성에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 건축음향 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 odeon 6.5에서 제시하고 있는 transition order의 단계를 기준으로 3D 모델의 구체성을 총 4단계로 구분하였다. 각 실내마감재의 흡음률은 도면에 표기된 재료를 odeon의 material library 및 시험성적서를 참고해 입력하였으며 확산률은 odeon의 마감의 표면형태에 따른 권장치를 입력하였다. 또한 room setup 설정시 사용음선수를 동일하게 입력하였으며, trasition order는 각 모델의 유효표면수에 맞게 입력하였다. 실제 공연장에서 측정한 현장음향실험 결과를 기준으로 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하여 물리적 음향인자 (음압레벨, 잔향시간, 명료도 등)의 오차를 분석하였다. 또한 가청화시재를 제작하여 현장에서 녹음한 음원과 청감실험을 통해 비교하여 주관적 음향인자 (잔향감, 명료함 등)별 유사 정도를 평가하였다. 물리적 음향인자 분석결과, 가장 구체적인 3D모델의 잔향시간 오차가 가장 작게 나타났으며 명료도의 경우 단순한 모델의 오차가 가장 작았다. 그러나 단순한 모델은 저주파수 대역의 오차가 상대적으로 매우 크게 나타남에 따라 3D 모델을 구체적으로 작성할수록 보다 정밀한 음향예측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 주관적 청감실험 결과, 물리적 오차가 작을수록 가청화시재가 원음과 가장 유사하게 들린다고 응답함으로써 3D 모델의 구체성이 가청화시제 제작에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an advanced computational method for the prediction of the responses in the frequency domain of general linear dissipative structural-acoustic and fluid-structure systems, in the low-and medium-frequency domains and this includes uncertainty quantification. The system under consideration is constituted of a deformable dissipative structure that is coupled with an internal dissipative acoustic fluid. This includes wall acoustic impedances and it is surrounded by an infinite acoustic fluid. The system is submitted to given internal and external acoustic sources and to the prescribed mechanical forces. An efficient reduced-order computational model is constructed by using a finite element discretization for the structure and an internal acoustic fluid. The external acoustic fluid is treated by using an appropriate boundary element method in the frequency domain. All the required modeling aspects for the analysis of the medium-frequency domain have been introduced namely, a viscoelastic behavior for the structure, an appropriate dissipative model for the internal acoustic fluid that includes wall acoustic impedance and a model of uncertainty in particular for the modeling errors. This advanced computational formulation, corresponding to new extensions and complements with respect to the state-of-the-art are well adapted for the development of a new generation of software, in particular for parallel computers.

유한요소법을 이용하여 압전 수중음향센서의 모델링 및 음향특성을 해석하였다. 압전 수중음향센서의 해석에서 기본적인 압전-탄성 구조물과 유체-구조물의 연성해석을 위한 유한요소 정식화를 하였으며 무한영역의 음향유체를 처리하기 위하여 IWEE (Infinite Wave Envelop Element)를 도입하였다. Tonpilz형 수중음향센서를 수중 산란체로 볼 경우 입사파가 산란체의 표면을 가진할 때 산란체로부터 발생되는 산란파는 IWEE로 인하여 무한 유체영역에서의 산란파의 감소특성을 갖게 되어 무한영역을 유한영역으로 나눈 인위적인 경계에서 반사가 일어나지 않게 되므로 산란파의 음압을 정확히 구할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 산란해석을 바탕으로 입사파에 대한 음향센서 내부의 전기적 응답특성인 RVS (Receiving Voltage Signal)를 구하였다. 이러한 일련의 연구 과정들은 소나 시스템을 정확히 해석하고 음향특성을 예측하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
