The noise levels and individual employee noise exposure levels within a factory will determine the need for hearing conservation program. The difficulty in not having an effective hearing conservation program is the risk of hearing loss that employees may sustain. In the last few years the claims for hearing loss compensation have grown due to class action litigation brought against the employer and companies that have equipment in the factory alleged to have caused hearing loss. The Blower in the factory generates the noise of 98.3dB(A) in the frequency range of 2,000Hz, which may cause occupational hearing loss. By designing close type enclosures which are made of absorption material, about 24.4dB(A) reduction has been in the factory. It is demonstrated that this kind of enclosures can be effectively used to reduce the noise in the factory.

Friction between stone and saw of stone cutting machine generates the noise of 96-104 dB in the frequency range of 2kHz-8kHz, which may cause occupational hearing loss. By designing enclosures which are made of transparent acryl, PVC panel and absorption materials, about 15 dB noise reduction has been achieved in the stone cutting factory. It is demonstrated that this kind of enclosures can be effectively used to reduce the noise in the stone cutting factory.

현대사회는 인구의 증대에 따른 교통, 건물 그리고 환경등 여러 가지 분야에서 눈부신 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 하지만, 거주환경이 발전하면서 나타나는 소음을 저감하고자 본 논문에서는 간이 흡음재인 계란판의 흡음특성을 3가지 환경에서 측정한 데이터를 비교분석하였다. 실험을 하기위해 가로, 세로, 높이1000mm의 정사각형 상자를 만들어 진행하였다. 실험은 간이 흡음재 부착, 미부착 그리고 방음실에서 음원을 각각 5회씩 재생시킨 후 잔향시간을 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 그 결과, 간이흡음재 미부착시 평균0.413초, 부착시 평균0.330초 그리고 방음실에서 평균0.319초의 데이터를 얻었다.

Ship noise is one of the important factors for the living and health of seafarers, and ef orts to reduce ship noise are actively underway. There are two methods of noise reduction: passive noise Control (PNC) and active noise control (ANC). Unlike cars and airplanes, ANC is not widely used for noise reduction on ships. This study aimed to reduce the noise generated in the engine room by using soundproof panels and high-frequency vibration generators, as well as active noise control (ANC). For this purpose, an experimental model was made using an acrylic box, and the noise reduction effect was measured under four conditions. The experimental results are as follows: First, the soundproof panel had a noise reduction effect in all ranges from 55 dB to 85 dB. In the case of using a high-frequency vibration generator, there was no ef ect in the low noise range such as 55 dB(A), but there was a noise reduction effect in the high noise range such as 70.8 dB(A) and 85 dB(A).Second, when the soundproof panel and the high-frequency vibration generator were used simultaneously, the noise reduction ef ect was up to -2.2 dB(A). The results of this experiment were obtained from an experimental model made of acrylic, and they may be different from actual ships made of steel plate. In future studies, we plan to experiment using iron plate (considering the material, thickness, and structure) used in actual ships. We hope that this study will help to improve the living environment and health of seafarers on ships.

Dynamic Radioscopy technique was developed to observe internal phenomena of motors during firings. For use of this technique, generator and image box consisting of conversion screen, mirror, and video camera were designed and fabricated at our laboratory, and static firing tests were conducted to small motors. Protection devices against vibration and noise induced from during combustion were also made and their performances were evaluated with reference to the vibration criteria. Test results have shown that the vibration levels at concerned points were measured less than vibration criteria, and the internal phenomena during firings were also observed clearly.
