Sound transmission characteristics are investigated on the honeycomb panels used for railway vehicles. Equivalent orthotropic plate model and equivalent mass law are applied to predict the sound transmission loss (STL) of the honeycomb panels. The predicted values of the STL are compared with the measured values. The reliability and the limitation of the prediction models are investigated. Coincidence effect and local resonance effect on STL are considered. The result of the study shows that the equivalent orthotropic plate model can be used as a good prediction model, if the local resonance frequency is properly applied. finally, ways to improve the severe STL drop by local resonance are proposed and the effect on the sound insulation performance is analysed.

Aluminum extruded panels are widely used instead of corrugated steel panels for weight reduction in high-speed trains. Of the layers in the train body, it makes the largest contribution to the sound insulation. However, compared with that of a flat panel with the same weight, the TL of the aluminum extruded panel is remarkably lower in the local resonance frequency band. We study aluminum extruded panels for next-generation 400-km/h trains. We investigate the problem of sound insulation and propose a practical method to improve the sound-insulation performance. The local resonance frequency region is increased by a modification of the core structure, and urethane foam is placed in the core. The effect on the sound insulation is verified by experiments. Finally, the improvement for the entire sound-transmission loss is estimated for the layered floor panels of express trains.

In a railway vehicle, corrugated steel panel is widely used for the floor structure because of its high bending stiffness and light weight. However, this panel shows lower sound insulation performance than that of the flat plate with the same weight. Especially, in a particular frequency region, transmission loss(TL) rapidly decreases and it results in the deterioration of sound insulation performance of the overall floor structure. This study identifies that the severe decrease in TL is caused from the local resonance of the periodic corrugated structure. TL decrease by local resonance is investigated by experiment and finite element analysis. Finally, design modification of the corrugation is proposed to improve TL and the effect is verified by experiment.

In this paper, a compact L-shaped shorted pin patch to be used at local oscillator port in radar detector is proposed. Shorted pin patch operates as short-open cavity while conventional patch operates as open-open cavity. Shorted pins are L-shaped to obtain quarter wave length and three-quarter wave length resonance for the fundamental(X-band) and $2^{nd}(3^{rd})$(K- and Ka-band) mode resonance frequency, respectively. Thus, the proposed patch can be compact. It is also possible to operate at triple band(X-, K-, Ka-band) with small return loss in radar detector, It is expected that shorted pin patch could improve radar detector sensitivity.

In the corrugated steel panels used for railway vehicles, sound insulation performance is significantly deteriorated by local resonance effect. In this study, as a countermeasure, polyurethane foam is filled in the corrugated steel panel and glass wool layer is inserted in the layered floor panel, and then improvement effect of the sound insulation performance is experimentally estimated. Based on ASTM E2249-02, intensity transmission loss is measured and estimated on the corrugated panel and floor structure. The aim of the study is to identify how the foam filling and inserting glass wool layer improve the sound insulation performance of the train body structure in aspect of the weight increment.

본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서와 램파 센서를 결합하여 구조물 손상 진단을 위한 통합된 압전 센서 시스템을 제안한다. 구조물 손상으로 인한 공진주파수 변화를 관측할 수 있는 오실레이터 센서는 손상 정도에 민감하게 반응하고 구조가 단순한 장치이지만 측정 범위가 센서 주위로 제한되는 특성을 가진다. 반면에 램파를 이용한 진단 시스템은 원거리에 위치한 구조물의 손상부를 감지하기에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서를 이용한 취약 지점의 국부적인 손상 진단 방식과 램파를 이용한 광역적인 손상 진단 방식을 결합하여 각 시스템의 장점들을 활용할 수 있는 센서 시스템의 적용가능성을 연구하였다. PZT소자를 알루미늄 판에 적용하여, 알루미늄판의 손상 정도에 따른 오실레이터 공진주파수의 변화와 램파 신호의 Time of flight, 그리고 진폭의 변화를 이용하여 구조물 손상형태의 판별 가능성을 제시하고 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

금속:유전체 나노복합체 박막에서 발현되는 국소 표면 플라즈몬 공진특성을 효과적으로 제어하기 위해 코어-쉘 구조를 갖는 나노입자 형성 공정이 물리기상증착법을 이용하여 시도되었다. 선택적 증착 현상에 착안하여 Au와 강한 결합력을 나타내는 sulphur를 포함하는 ZnS 반도체 재료를 모델시스템으로 선정하였다. 교번증착법의 상대적 순서를 변화시켜 가며 Au입자 및 Au-ZnS 코어-쉘 입자의 형성거동을 광흡수 곡선과 TEM 분석을 통해 관찰하였다. Au단일입자에 비해 Au-ZnS 코어-쉘 나노입자는 ZnS 층의 상대적 두께조절에 의해 공진파장의 광범위한 제어가 용이해지고 국부전기장 증폭현상도 강화되는 것으로 확인되었다.

Corrugation of a corrugated panel dramatically increases the bending stiffness per weight. However, corrugated panels show lower sound insulation performance than that of the flat plate having the same weight. Especially, in a particular frequency region, the sound transmission loss significantly decreases. Main reason of the problem is known as the local resonance. A number of local resonance modes occur above a certain frequency band and modal density rapidly increases. In this study, we investigate the relation of the sound transmission loss and the modal density. Finally, we propose a design methodology in terms of the modal density to improve the sound insulation performance of the corrugated panels without weight increase.
