본 연구는 음향증폭시스템 중에서 청취자에게 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 스피커 시스템의 배치방식과 스피커 특성변화에 따른 청취자들의 주관적 반응을 명료도와 음향선호도 측면에서 측정하고 비교 분석함으로써 향후 대공간의 음향증폭시스템의 설계 시 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 전체적으로 실의 흡음률이 결정적인 영향을 미치며, 천장의 흡음률이 높을수록 지각된 명료도는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 스피커가 낮게 설치된 경우에는 적용된 스피커의 개수가 많고 지향각이 좁은 스피커들이 사용된 경우의 명료도가 가장 높게 평가되었다. 그러나 전체적으로는 스피커가 천장 흡음면에 가까울수록, 그리고 60도 이하의 좁은 지향각을 갖는 스피커를 사용할 때 높은 명료도를 얻을 수 있으며, 본 연구의 검토범위에서는 8~10개 정도의 스피커가 적용되었을 때 주관적인 명료도 및 선호도가 가장 높게 평가되었다.

연소 안정화를 위해 로켓엔진 연소기에 장착될 수 있는 반파장 음향 공명기의 비선형 음향 감쇠 특성을 비선형 해석을 통해 조사하였다. 먼저, 공명기가 장착되지 않은 기본 연소실에 대해 넓은 범위의 진폭($80{\sim}150$ dB)을 갖는 음향 가진에 대한 연소실의 감쇠 거동을 조사한 결과, 진폭에 따라 연소실의 감쇠인자가 증가하며 125 dB 이상의 진폭에 대해서는 비선형 거동이 뚜렷이 나타남을 알았다. 반파장 공명기가 장착된 연소기에서의 계산 결과, 해당 공명기의 최적 동조조건은 진폭에 무관하였고, 높은 진폭의 압력파를 감쇠하는 기능은 유지되지만, 상대적으로 음향 공명기로서의 역할은 약화됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) 방정식을 이용하는 복합 CAA(Computational AeroAcoustics) 방법에 광대역 소음원 생성을 위한 FRPM(Fast Random Particle Mesh) 기법을 적용하여 원심팬 광대역 소음 예측을 수행하였다. 먼저, RANS 방정식을 이용하여 원심팬 주위의 유동장을 예측하여 주요한 소음원 영역을 추론하고, 추론된 소음원 영역에 FRPM 기법을 적용하여 통계적 특성을 만족하는 난류를 재생하였다. RANS 방정식으로부터 해석된 유동장과 FRPM 기법으로부터 재생된 유동장을 이용하여 합성한 유동장에 음향상사법(Acoustic Analogy)을 적용하여 원심팬의 소음원을 생성하였다. 생성된 원심팬의 소음원을 경계요소법(Boundary Element Method)으로 구현된 선형전파모델에 적용하여 원심팬의 광대역 소음을 예측하였다. 원심팬에 대한 소음 측정값과의 비교를 통하여 제안된 기법이 원심팬의 순음 소음 및 광대역 소음 예측에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

For many years, engineers in the field of acoustics have used the A-weighted sound pressure level (SPL). Since they were interested just in a reduction of noise, the A-weighted SPL was considered good enough to quantify noise problems. This is reasonable because loudness is usually the most important parameter for most noise problems and A-weighted SPL is often reasonably well correlated with loudness. As the overall noise levels drop, however, other parameters become more important and must be considered, Advent of sound quality came from an understanding that A-weighted SPL only reflects the loudness of a sound. It is obviously impossible to characterize a complex sound with a single number. Although product mostly has revealed physical quantities created by the standpoint of engineers, consumers perceive and evaluate products on the non-physical characteristics, such as feelings, emotions, and experiences in different social and cultural situations. Especially, for the household appliances for instance air-conditioner or refrigerator, the sound is heavily related to the satisfaction of a customer who is a real user of the product and is very important factor to decide purchasing as well as visual design. Therefore, in this research, the general tendency of consumer's psychology was investigated for the appliances. And also, in order to obtain clear guidelines fur sound manipulation, the characteristics of the sound of air-conditioning systems and refrigerators were compared with competitors'. since it is important to overcome the discrepancy between engineering and marketing, the relevance of sound manipulation must be documented from the consumer's perspective. That is the reason why we conducted a consumer and marketing oriented study.

Speech intelligibility in patients with complete dentures is an important clinical problem depending on the material used. The objective of this study was to investigate the speech of two edentulous subjects fitted with a complete maxillary prosthesis made of two different palatal materials: chrome-cobalt alloy and acrylic resin. Three patients with complete dentures in the experiment group and ten people in the controls groups participated in the experiment. CSL, Visi-Pitch were used to measure speech characteristics. The test words consisted of a simple vowel /e/, meaningless three syllabic words containing fricative, affricated and stops sounds, and sustained fricative sounds /s/ and /$\int$/. The analysis speech parameters were vowel and lateral formants, VOT, sound durations, sound pressure level and fricative frequency. Data analysis was conducted by a series of paired T-test. The findings like the following: (1) Vowel formant one of patients with complete denture is higher than that of the control group (p<0.05), while lateral formant three of patients with complete denture is lower than that of the control group (p<0.0l). (2) Patients with complete denture produced lower speech intelligibility with low fricative frequency (/$\int$/) than control group (p<0.0). The speech intelligibility of patients with metal prosthesis was higher than that of those with resin prosthesis (p<0.05). (3) Fricative, lateral and stop sound durations of patients with complete denture were longer than those of the control group (p<0.01 and p<0.05), respectively. Total sound durations of patients with metal prosthesis were similar to that of the control group (p<0.05), while those with resin prosthesis had a shorter duration (p<0.01). This implied that those with metal prosthesis had higher speech intelligibility than those with resin prosthesis. (4) Patients with complete denture had higher sound pressure levels /t/ and /c/ than the control group (p<0.01). However, sound pressure levels for /c/ of patients with metal prosthesis or resin prosthesis was similar to the control group (p<0.05). (5) Patients with complete denture had higher fundamental frequency than the control group (p<0.01).

잔향에 대한 인간의 주관적인 지각을 객관적인 수치로써 나타내는 방법으로 5자유도 잔향 모델이 제안된 바 있다[1]. 5자유도 잔향 모델은 잔향에 대한 다섯 개의 객관적인 평가량들을 이용하여 시간에 따른 음 에너지 감쇠 곡선을 근사한 것으로, 인공적으로 잔향을 합성하고자 할 때 잔향 필터의 설계 기준으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 이로부터 구현할 수 있는 잔향 필터는 이론적으로 무한히 많을 수 있고, 따라서 인간이 듣기에 부자연스러운 합성음을 만들어 내는 경우도 존재할 수 있다. 본 논문은 5자유도 잔향 모델의 한계를 시간 영역과 주파수 영역으로 나누어 살펴보고 잔향 모델, 즉 원하는 잔향 조건이 주어졌을 때 자연스러운 잔향을 얻기 위해 필요한 필터 설계 기준을 실제 청음 실험을 통하여 제시하고 있다.

This work investigates the influence of water compressibility on pressure pulsations induced by rotor-stator interaction (RSI) in hydraulic machinery, using the commercial CFD solver ANSYS-CFX. A pipe flow example with harmonic velocity excitation at the inlet plane is simulated using different grid densities and time step sizes. Results are compared with a validated code for hydraulic networks (SIMSEN). Subsequently, the solution procedure is applied to a simplified 2.5-dimensional pump-turbine configuration in prototype with different speeds of sound as well as in model scale with an adapted speed of sound. Pressure fluctuations are compared with numerical and experimental data based on prototype scale. The good agreement indicates that the scaling of acoustic effects with an adapted speed of sound works well. With respect to pressure fluctuation amplitudes along the centerline of runner channels, incompressible solutions exhibit a linear decrease while compressible solutions exhibit sinusoidal distributions with maximum values at half the channel length, coinciding with analytical solutions of one-dimensional acoustics. Furthermore, in compressible simulation the amplification of pressure fluctuations is observed from the inlet of stay vane channels to the spiral case wall. Finally, the procedure is applied to a three-dimensional pump configuration in model scale with adapted speed of sound. Normalized Pressure fluctuations are compared with results from prototype measurements. Compared to incompressible computations, compressible simulations provide similar pressure fluctuations in vaneless space, but pressure fluctuations in spiral case and penstock may be much higher.

Background: Respiration monitoring is necessary during sedation for dental treatment. Recently, acoustic respiration rate ($RRa^{TM}$), an acoustics-based respiration monitoring method, has been used in addition to auscultation or capnography. The accuracy of this method may be compromised in an environment with excessive noise. This study evaluated whether noise from the ultrasonic scaler affects the performance of RRa in respiratory rate measurement. Methods: We analyzed data from 49 volunteers who underwent scaling under intravenous sedation. Clinical tests were divided into preparation, sedation, and scaling periods; respiratory rate was measured at 2-s intervals for 3 min in each period. Missing values ratios of the RRa during each period were measuerd; correlation analysis and Bland-Altman analysis were performed on respiratory rates measured by RRa and capnogram. Results: Respective missing values ratio from RRa were 5.62%, 8.03%, and 23.95% in the preparation, sedation, and scaling periods, indicating an increased missing values ratio in the scaling period (P < 0.001). Correlation coefficients of the respiratory rate, measured with two different methods, were 0.692, 0.677, and 0.562 in each respective period. Mean capnography-RRa biases in Bland-Altman analyses were -0.03, -0.27, and -0.61 in each respective period (P < 0.001); limits of agreement were -4.84-4.45, -4.89-4.15, and -6.18-4.95 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The probability of missing respiratory rate values was higher during scaling when RRa was used for measurement. Therefore, the use of RRa alone for respiration monitoring during ultrasonic scaling may not be safe.

Implantable middle ear hearing devices(IMEHDs) have being actively studied to overcome the problems of conventional hearing aids. Vibration transducer, an output devices of IMEHDs, is attached on the ossicular chain and transmits mechanical vibration to cochlea. This approach allows us to hear more clear sound because mechanical vibration is effective to transfer high frequency acoustics, but occurs some problems such as fatigue accumulation to ossicular chian and reduction of vibration displacement caused by mass loading effect. Recently, many studies for the round window stimulation are announced, because it does not cause such problems. It have been studied by older transducers designed for attaching on ossicular chain. In this paper, we proposed a new electromagnetic transducer which consists of two magnets, three coils and a vibration membrane. The magnet assembly, magnet coupled in opposite direction, were placed in the center of three coils, and the optimum length of each coil generating maximum vibrational force was calculated by finite element analysis(FEA). The transducer was implemented as the calculated length of each coil, and measured vibration displacement. From the results, it is verified the vibration displacement can be improved by optimizing the length of coils.
