Low frequency exhaust noise of marine diesel engine is one of the most important noise sources in vessels. However, conventional absorptive silencers are limited because the absorptive material is not effective in low frequency range. In the paper, exhaust noise control of marine diesel engine has been studied by using the resonator type silencer, which was composed of concentric hole-cavity resonators. The acoustic performance of the resonator type silencer was verified by the insertion loss measurement considering flow effect. Consequently, its high performance, about $5{\sim}8dB$ noise reduction, in the low frequency range was confirmed by insertion loss measurements conducted in the ship.

A helmholtz resonator has been widely used for the purpose of suppressing low frequency noises propagated from various heat and fluid machineries. However, the resonator has demerits that the absorption bandwidth at resonance frequency is very small and a large cavity is necessary. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper, a resonator with perforated panels at the neck and/or in the cavity is proposed. The absorption performances of resonators are measured by two-microphone method and are estimated by transfer matrix method. The experimentally measured values of normal absorption coefficients are agreed well with the corresponding values from the transfer matrix method. By introducing perforated panels at the neck of a resonator, it is shown that the absorption performances and bandwidth have a significant improvement.

The helmholtz resonator with the perforated neck has demerits that the absorption performance is not so outstanding in an anti-resonance frequency and high frequency bandwidth. In order to overcome these problems, in the paper, a resonator combined with porous material is proposed. The absorption performances of resonators are measured by two-microphone method and estimated by transfer matrix method. The experimentally measured values of normal absorption coefficients agree well with the corresponding values from the transfer matrix method. Because of the porous material, it is shown that the absorption performance have been significantly improved in the anti-resonance frequency and high frequency bandwidth.

Sound absorptive materials have good performance in high frequency range, not at low frequencies. Therefore it has been great challenge to develop a sound absorbing structure that is good at low frequency. We propose to use a Helmholtz resonator array panel for this purpose. A Helmholtz resonator is one of noise control elements widely used in many practical applications. The resonator is a simple structure composed of a rigid-walled cavity with a neck, but it has very high performance at resonance frequency. This paper discusses the sound absorption of Helmholtz resonator array panels at normal and random incidence. First, various experimental results are introduced and studied. Secondly, we theoretically predict the absorptive characteristics of the resonator away panel. The theoretical approach is based on the Fourier analysis for a periodic absorber. We believe that this method can be used to design a panel for low frequency noise control.

The Helmholtz resonator is one of noise control elements widely used in many practical applications. However the resonator array system, which is sometimes used to reflect or absorb low frequency noise, has not been well studied. We have investigated the difference in sound absorption of the Helmholtz resonator array panel caused by change in the resonator arrangement. Experiments and numerical calculations for various Helmholtz resonator array panels are carried out and the results are compared each other. The comparisons show that the acoustic coupling between closely located resonators affects the performance of the sound absorbing system. Particularly, the distance between resonators has a significant effect on the broadness of the sound absorption coefficient.

A new method is proposed for the isolation of resonances from scattered waves for the isolaton of resonances from scattered waves for acoustic wave resonance scattering problems. The resonance scattering function consisting purely of resonance information is defined. Acoustic wave scattering from a variety of submerged bodies is numerically analyzed. The classical resonance scattering theory (RST) and the new method compute identical magnitudes of the resonances from each partial wave, however, the phases are significantly different. The exact $\pi$-radians phase shifts through the resonance and anti-resonance frequencies show that the proposed method properly extracts the vibrational resonance information of the scatterer. Due to the differences in phases of the resonances from each partial wave, the new method and RST generate different total resonance spectra.

가스히터의 연소로부터 발생하는 소음 및 진동의 주원인은 연소소음(combustion roar)과 연소진동음(combustion oscillation)이다. 연소음의 특징은 음압이 넓은 주파수대에 걸쳐 비교적 일정하게 분포하고 있다. 본 논문에서 언급하고 있는 가스히터 초기 조건에서 볼 수 있는 상황으로 소음레벨이 낮고 진동 문제도 발생하지 않는다. 반면 연소진동음은 연소실내 기체의 고유진동수에 대하여 버너계가 Positive Feedback을 일으켜 공진할 때 발생되는 소음 및 진동이다. 연소진동의 발생 원인은 앞서 지적한 바와 같이, 연소할 때의 연소 진동수와 연소실의 구조적 고유진동수가 일치하면 큰 진동 및 소음을 발생시킨다. 따라서 소음 및 진동을 해결 할 수 있는 방법은 두 개의 고유진동수가 일치하지 않도록 하는 방법을 강구하여야 한다. 첫 번째 방법으로는 버너에서 연료와 공기량의 비율을 변화 시켜 진동수를 변화 시키거나, 연료와 공기의 통로길이, 연소실내에서의 연료와 공기의 혼합속도를 변화 시키는 방법이 있다. 두 번째 방법으로, 연소실의 고유진동수를 변화 시키는 방법으로 연소실의 길이나 덕트의 길이를 변경시켜 고유진동수의 주파수를 변경시키는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 연소실의 조건을 변경하여 공명을 회피하는 방법을 채택하였고, 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of acoustic noise attenuator on auditory fMRI examination. Materials and methods : The acoustic noise attenuator consists of mask, earmuff and silicon earplug. The soft polyurethane sheet and polyurethane form , which has a good soundproof characteristic were used for mask and earmuff. Auditory fMRI experiments of 500 Hz pure tone stimulation were performed in three different cases; first all of mask, earmuff and earplug, secondly earmuff and earplug only and finally without attenuator in 4 normal hearing volunteers. For data acquisition, BOLD MR imaging technique was employed at a 1.5T MR scanner equipped with high performance gradient system. The raw data were analyzed using a SPM-99 analysis software and the activation maps were obtained. Results : In case of all items of acoustic attenuator used, the results revealed that activation was focused on primary auditory area. When only earmuff and earplug were used, the results showed that the activation spread over primary auditory and secondary associative areas. Last, when no device used, only weak activation was observed on the right auditory cortex. Conclusion : It is expected that the acoustic noise attenuator, which consists of earplugs, earmuffs and mask, is a very useful device in auditory fMRI study.

Vibrations transmitted through rolling tire are major sources of road noise in vehicle interior on the range of $0{\sim}500Hz$. Among various road noises, tire cavity noise makes many problems recently. Vehicle NVH performance has improved better and road surfaces are made well. But tires are changed to high inches and low series. So tire cavity noise becomes more serious. In this paper, a designed material for reducing tire cavity noise is proposed. On the surface inside tire, this material is attached at one position using double-tape. This material disperses the pressure variations inside the tire. So a spindle forces at wheel center are reduced. And tire cavity noise at vehicle interior is also reduced. Durability is verified by tire only test and vehicle test. Noise performance also compared with peak levels after attaching this material.
