  • The speed of sound, transmission coefficient, and attenuation are measured around the center frequency 1 and 2 MHz in solid materials such as bone, sediment, rubber, and Lucite materials. Common and different characteristics of such materials in the sound speed, transmission coefficient, and attenuation are discussed. Ambiguities in estimating such acoustic characteristics we also addressed. Ultrasonic properties of the first and second kind waves are clarified for different materials. Discussions are concentrated on classes of sound speed, broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA), and correlations of sound speed and BUA with apparent density. New correlations of inverse sound speed square and BUA with apparent density are suggested.

  • Opera house acoustics were subjectively evaluated in order to investigate the effect of performance stage views on the audience's perception of the seat acoustics in an opera house. Nine seats from an existing opera house were selected for the auditory and/or visual experiments according to seating area distribution and acoustical parameters such as RT and $1-IACC_{E3}$. The recorded music, convolved from the impulse response, was presented with and without visual images of the stage. Subjects were asked to assess the auditory/visual descriptors and overall impression of the music at each seat. The results showed that good visual input helps produce a favorable impression of the acoustics, but a limited view degrades acoustical impression. The acoustical parameters in the tested seats were also investigated to find the relationship between the acoustical parameters and the visual/sound impression.

  • In the ocean bubble layers play a significant role in the sound propagation as well as sound generation. Most of early works dealt with acoustic properties of the bubble layers with sharp flat boundaries. Bubble layers with sharp flat boundaries. Bubble layers with transition sublayers are more likely in the coean. In this paper a theory of sound propagation through plane bubble layers with transition sublayers at both borders was developed. It shows that the reflection and transmission coefficients depend on the thickness of transition sublayers. The theory with thicker transition sublayers shows weaker resonance properties of bubble layer. It gives better presentation for the peculiar behavior of the experimental data than that with sharp flat boundaries.

  • We investigate the slat noise generation mechanism by using large-eddy simulation (LES) and simple source modeling based on linearized Euler equations. An incompressible LES of an MD 30P30N three-element airfoil in the high-lift configuration is conducted at $Re_c=1.7{\times}10^6$. Using the total derivative of the hydrodynamic pressure (DP/Dt) acquired from the incompressible LES, representative noise sources in the slat cove region are characterized in terms of simple sources such as frequency-specific monopoles and dipoles. Acoustic radiation around the 30P30N multi-element airfoil is effectively computed using the Brinkman penalization method incorporated with the linearized Euler equation. The directivity pattern of $p^{\prime}_{rms}$ at $r=20c_{slat}$ in the multiple sources is closely compared to that obtained by the application of the LES/Ffowcs-Williams and Hawking's methods to the entire flow field. The power spectrum of p' at ${\theta}=290^{\circ}$ is in good agreement with the data reported in BANC-III, especially the broadband part of the spectrum with a decaying slope ${\propto}f^{-3}$.

  • The purpose of this study is to derive the preference factors of stage acoustics for duet performers through the measurement of the stage acoustics in a concert hall and the performance evaluation on the stage. 15 pairs (total 30 players) of the performers participated in the experiment, and the preference of selected 5 locations were evaluated. As a result, the preference in the center of stage was the highest, and CS (Clarity at stage) and $ST_{Late}$ were the most significant factors for the preference.

  • The effects of the movable reflectors on the stage acoustics in Seoul's Sejong Performing Arts Center (3,048-seat multi-purpose hall, stage area of $270m^2$ within an orchestra shell) and Ceramic Palace Hall (440-seat concert hall, stage area of $105m^2$) were investigated. Acoustical parameters were evaluated by measuring stage and audience acoustics in the two halls. The study was primarily based on the stage support parameter STI proposed by Gade (Acustica 65, pp.193-203, 1989). Results showed that STI varied on the stage of the large hall according to the position of the reflectors, whereas STI did not vary in the small hall. In the large hall, a smaller clear stage area (bounded by the reflectors) yields an increase in both STI and other early energy measures. In the small hall, early energy decreases when its stage's surface diffusion was covered with specular reflectors.

  • It is well known that the loss factor and Young's modulus are fundamental mechanical properties of materials. In this study. the dynamic characteristics of plastics are evaluated by using two different standard test methods which are ASTM E 756 and ISO 6721. Polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene were used as test specimens. In order to evaluate vibration of damping properties with temperature, we measured loss factor and Young's modulus of the specimens the temperature range between $-10^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. The Young's modulus for polycarbonate decreased significantly as increasing temperature, while the loss factor increased. However, the Young's modulus and loss factor of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are varied somewhat with temperature.
