In the East Sea of Korea, the ocean environments are known to have strong variations in space and time. Their effects are very important factors in sound propagation and sonar performance. We consider the environmental factors such as eddies and thermal fronts affecting underwater sound propagation and target detection performance by sonars. Unfortunately, however, the detailed structure of eddies is usually difficult to understand by using the sea surface temperatures from infrared images alone or a few profiles from the CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) castings. The temperature fields of eddy and thermal front are simulated with typical patterns of those obtained from several observations. This paper delivers the overviews of environments and acoustic models with their simulation results on sonar performance.

Ultrasonic cleaning at high frequency around 1 MHz, called megasonic cleaning, is commonly used to remove particles less than 1 ㎛ by generating high frequency accelerations on the cleaning objects. Cleaning is performed in an ultrasonically-excited liquid contained in a double-structured container. Ultrasonic waves generated by piezoelectric transducers propagate in the outer container and are transmitted through the inner container. The bottom of the inner container is inclined to make oblique incidence of the ultrasonic wave in order to raise the efficiency of the transmission through the bottom plate. This work deals with the efficiency of the transmission, which directly affects the cleaning performance. The transmission characteristics of the ultrasonic wave in the megasonic cleaner have been obtained analytically and numerically for the variations of some parameters, such as the thickness and inclined angle of the bottom plate of the inner container and the chemical ratio and temperature of the cleaning liquid. The calculated results have yielded the optimum cleaning condition in terms of the sound power transmitted into the cleaning liquid.

Ultrasonic velocity and density measurements have been undertaken for a number of binary liquid mixtures involving different commercial solvent extractants, LIX reagents. The binary mixtures under investigation have been classified under two categories such as polar-polar, and polar-non-polar types. Different theories and relations such as Schaaff's Collision Factor Theory (CFT), Nomoto's relation (NOM), and Van Dael & Vangeel ideal mixing relation (IMR) have been used to evaluate the velocity theoretically for all these binary systems. The relative merits of afore-mentioned theories and relations compared to experimental values of velocity have been discussed in terms of percentage variations. However, the CFT and Nomoto's relation show better agreement with the experimental findings than the ideal mixing relation for all the systems under investigation.

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.

Vibrato means periodic variations of various characteristics in sound wave. Because it causes special tonal effects, it plays and important role in musical performance. But when we examine the cases of scientific study about the vibrato that has been done until now, the cases were focused just on acoustic analysis of vibrato, so they didn't disclose the correlation between the results of analysis and the musical factors concerning actual performance. So this paper attempts to analyze violin vibrato acoustically, and find out the interrelation between the results and the various musical factors of violin performance.

From a population in Kang-Nae, Cheong-won, Chung-Buk, acoustic behaviours of Gray-headed Bunting (Emberizo fucata) were obsenred. The singing of males was classified into two major types, stereotyped song and squeaky song. The stereotyped songs of eight territorial males were recorded Intraindividual and individually distinctive features were studied. Individuals produced their song in distinctive ways in terms of song duration and the number of syllables. Gray-headed Buntings sang various syllable types. We found that a male produced more constant syllables in anterior group than those in posterior group. Males sang distinctive syllables among them. Some syllable types which were frequently appeared in an anterior group. In these analyses, we suggest that the anterior groups in songs of a Gray-headed Bunting express the constant information and the posterior groups contribute to situational communication.

The object of this study is to investigate material characteristics and flexural behavior of high strength concrete. Principal causes of variations of high compressive strength include the strength-producing capabilities of cement and silica hume. Compressive strength of 1200 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is introduced for identifying the effect of the variation of the size of porocity and alternative method of measurement, Acoustic Emition method, is applied to examine the phenominon of concrete failure. The main test variables in the beam element are tensile steel ratios, presence of shear reinforcement, and change of steel shape. The estimation of stress block in the flexural test of this element tends to support the present theory and may suggest a desirable shape of the stress block.

This paper presents the considerations of the high frequency modulation method for the metal halide lamp electronic ballast. The acousitc resonance phenomenon is occurred, if the metal halide lamp is driven at constant high frequency. The frequency modulation method therefore, is used to avoid the acoustic resonance phenomenon, but the crest factor of lamp current is increased. In this paper, the driving characteristic of the metal halide lamp according to the waveshape and frequency variations of modulating signal is considered with a viewpoint of crest factor.

Helmholtz resonators have high transmission loss in a narrow band at the resonance frequency. The transmission loss characteristics of resonators at high sound pressure levels can change due to variations of the impedance as a result of nonlinear behavior. Different sound pressure levels are applied to each resonator when resonators were arranged along the path. Therefore, impedance variation due to incident sound pressure level should be considered in order to predict the transmission loss.

The Rayleigh wave propagation is considered in the structure of the functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) layer over the elastic substrate. The elastic substrate loosely bonds the layer through a corrugated interface, whereas its upper boundary is also corrugated but stress-free. Additionally, the solutions for the FGPM layer and substrate are derived using the fundamental variable separable approach to convert the partial differential equation to an ordinary differential equation. The results with boundary conditions lead to dispersion relations for the electrically open and electrically short cases in the determinant form. The outcomes have been numerically analyzed using a specific model. The findings were presented in the form of graphs, which were created using Mathematica 7. Graphs are plotted for variations in wavenumber and phase velocity. The outcomes may help measure interface defects and design Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices.
