Damping characteristics of a Helmholtz resonator to passively control the combustion instability were investigated by linear acoustic analysis and atmospheric acoustic tests. Its orifice length and diameter were selected as the design parameters and supplied SPL(sound pressure level) effect on damping characteristics were investigated. Damping capacity is improved by decreasing the orifice length as well as by increasing the orifice diameter. Also, the results showed that the damping capacity of the resonator decreased nonlinearly about above 110 dB and instabilities in the nonlinear region were more effectively suppressed by increasing the orifice diameter.

Outdoor experimental study is presented the insertion loss caused by barrier considering discontinuous ground condition. Measurements ware made in 1/3 octave band over the frequency range 315 Hz~3150 Hz with the various geometry of the source, receiver and barriers. The frequency range of the interference pattern depends on the phase difference between path from the edge of barrier to receiver, and hence on the acoustical properties of the ground on the receiver side of the barrier. The insertion loss by barrier, in addition to diffraction, is shown to be dependent on the ground characteristic.

수중운동 추적체계의 추적 성능은 표적에 부착된 핑거로부터의송신음향이 수중센서에 도달하기 까지의 시지연과, 해저에 부설된 각 센서가 시지연을 이용하여 기하학적으로 계산하는 LOP를 얼마나 정확하게 추출하느냐에 달려있다. 본 논문에ㅓ는 수중운동 추출하느냐에 달려있다. 본 논문에서는 수중운동 추적체계의 추적성능을 예측하기 위하여 먼저 CRLB를 이용한 시지연 예측오차의 기준경계식을 유도하고, 임의 표적운도에 이를 적용시켜 추적거리오차를 추출하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 표적이 원형 기동하는 경우보다 직선 기동하는 경우에 표적위치에 따라 오차의변화가 더 심하고, 수중운동 추적체계의 이론적 설계성능은 주파수 대역에 의해 영향을 가장 많이 받음을 확인하였다. 한편 4km*4km 범위의 수중센서 패턴을 사용하고 주파수 대역폭을 200Hz로 취한 경우 시간지연에 의한 수중운동 추적체계의 이론적 추적오차는 0.24m 이내로 시뮬레이션 되었다.

Acoustic cavity as a stabilization device to control high-frequency combustion instabilities in liquid rocket engine is adopted and its damping capacity is verified in atmospheric temperature. First, harmful resonant frequency in a modeling chamber can be damped effectively by the installation of properly-tuned acoustic cavity. Besides, geometric effects of acoustic cavity on damping characteristics are analyzed and compared quantitatively. Satisfactory agreements have been achieved with linear acoustic analysis and experimental approach. Results show that the acoustic cavity of the largest orifice area or the shortest orifice length was the most effective in acoustic damping of the harmful resonant frequency. Finally, it is proved that an optimal design process is indispensable for the effective control of combustion instabilities.

A sonar dome is basically designed and installed to protect sonar array from shocks, sea wave slaps and floating matters. The acoustic wave passing through sonar dome, however, can be distorted in magnitude and phase. This paper presents a numerical method for predicting the steady-state sound pressure on the surface of transducer array in the sonar dome and typical results of sonar beam pattern affected by sonar dome. A beam tracing model with phase information and a multi-layered elastic boundary model are involved. A full three-dimensional sonar dome is modeled as a GRP acoustic window, a rubber coated steel baffle and a rubber coated steel hull. A transducer array is modeled as thick steel cylinder. There are some assumptions such as incidence of plane wave, specular reflection on boundary and directionality of transducer element.

As a part of target motion analysis(TMA) with highly noisy bearings-only measurements from a passive sonar system, a nonlinear batch estimator is proposed to provide the initial estimates to a sequential estimator called the modified gain extended Kalman filter(MGEKF). Based on the system observability analysis of passive target tracking, a practical and effective method is suggested to determine the observer maneuvers for improved TMA performance through system observability enhancing. Also suggested is a method to determine observer location for enhanced system observability at the initial phase of TMA from various engagement boundaries which represent the relationship between observer-target relative geometrical data and system observability. The proposed TMA methods are tested by a series of computer simulation runs.

This paper presents a method to simulate noise propagation by a computer for outdoor environment. Sound propagated in 3 dimensional space generates reflected waves whenever it hits boundary surfaces. If a receiver is away from a sound source, it receives multiple sound waves which are reflected from various boundary surfaces in space. The algorithm being developed in this paper is based on a ray sound theory. If we get 3 dimensional geometry input as well as sound sources, we can compute sound effects all over the boundary surfaces. In this paper, we present two approaches to compute sound: the first approach, called forward tracing, traces sounds forwards from sound sources. while the second approach, called geometry based computation, computes possible propagation routes between sources and receivers. We compare two approaches and suggest the geometry based sound computation for outdoor simulation. Also this approach is very efficient in the sense we can save computational time compared to the forward sound tracing. Sound due to impulse-response is governed by physical environments. When a sound source waveform and numerically computed impulse in time is convoluted, the result generates a synthetic sound. This technique can be easily generalized to synthesize realistic stereo sounds for virtual reality, while the simulation result is visualized using VRML.

본 논문은 시스템 운동학적 자유보다도 많은 수의 input을 사용하여 비선형 구속조건을 갖는 메 카니즘의 정역학적 평형을 유지시키는 경우와 같이 일반 로봇 시스템의 협력 작업시 일어나는 antagonistic stiffness를 연구하였다. 이러한 antagonistic 상황은 coordinations of multiple manipulators, multi-fingered end-efector, walking machine, 그리고 인간의 움직임등을 포함하는 많은 로봇 시스템의 작동시에 일어난다. Antagonism으로 야기되는 stiffness는 이러한 시스템의 특성을 파악하는 좋은 척도 가 될 수 있다. Antagonistic stiffness의 개념은 시스템을 구성하는 강체들의 상대 변위의 함수로 얻어 지기 때문에 바강체들이 변형하는 특성을 나타내는 structural stiffness와는 구별된다. 따라서 이 개념은 여유입력들에 의해 얻어지는 시스템의 effective stiffness로 해석될 수 있고, 일반 로봇 mechanism의 개 경로 안정도의 척도로 이용될 수 있으며 목적에 따라서 stiffness의 제어가 가능한 비선형 spring을 만 드는 데에도 응용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 antagonism이 일어나는 몇가지 상황에서의 stiffness 특성 과 개경로 안정성 조건등을 해석적, 기하학적 관점에서 다루었다.

A decision of the modulus of elasticity is made by using the degree of bending strength of materials for loudspeaker damper and the radius of corrugation lines and the radius of curvature of each corrugation as a geometrical element. And it is compared with experimental measurements. As a result. the elasticity of damper is proportional to the degree of bending strength and inversely proportional to the radius of corrugation lines and inversely proportional to the square of the radius of curvature. We made a small loudspeaker using a modified damper which take the form of inner small curvature and outer large curvature of each corrugation. This loudspeaker have the increased sensitivity in high frequency and also in low frequency region.

For effective on-line ARMA parameter estimation, a covariance type ARMA fast transversal filter (FTF) algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm is a covariance type implementation of ELS(Extended Least Squares) estimator and it is a fast time update recursion which is based on the fact that the correlation matrix of ARMA model satisfies the shift invariance property in each sub-block. The geometric approach is used in the derivation of the proposed algorithm. It takes small computational burden of 13N+37 MADPR(Multiplication And Division Per Recursion). Also, AR and MA orders can be independetly and arbitrarily specified.
