ISO 방법론 및 1：10 축소잔향실을 이용한 확산률 측정

Scattering of surface materials has been known as one of the most important aspects in evaluating the acoustics of concert halls are designed. One of the methods that can reduce the errors in estimating the reverberation time and other acoustic parameters through computer modeling is to calculate scattering coefficient of surface materials. However. so far, no objective and reliable methods measuring scattering coefficient has been suggested. In this situation, ISO has suggested the method of measuring the random-incidence scattering coefficient on surfaces in diffuse field, whereas AES has introduced a method on directional-incidence in free field. In this study, the scattering coefficients of five kinds of hemispheres (1.5, 2.0. 2.5. 3.0. 3.5cm) were measured by using the ISO method in 1：10 reverberation chamber. It was found that 3.0cm hemisphere has the highest scattering coefficient satisfying 95％ reliability.
