일반적으로 배관계를 통하는 유체 유량을 조절하거나 감압하는 목적으로 각종 밸브가 널리 이용되고 있다. 이러한 밸브는 작동 유체의 종류나 밸브형상에 따라 여러 가지로 분류할 수 있으나, 밸브가 유동에 미치는 저항특성, 밸브에서 발생하는 유동관련 소음진동, 기밀도, 내구 및 보수성 등을 고려하여 적절한 밸브를 선정하게 된다. 종래 버터플라이 밸브는 주로 비압축성 유체유동을 조절하기 위하여 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 다양한 방면에서 압축성 유동을 제어하기 위하여 그 활용이 증대되고 있다. 이것은 버터플라이 밸브의 형상이 매우 단순하여 밸브가 유동에 미치는 저항이 작으며, 제작 및 설치가 용이하기 때문이다.

To study the water-entry impact noise, on-board experiment using a small launcher firing various objects was performed in the Yellow Sea. As the launcher fires a cylindrical object from the ship vertically, generated noise is measured with a hydrophone on the starboard of Chung-hae, Marine surveyor. Three types of cylindrical objects, which have noses of flat-faced, conical, and hemisphere, were used during the experiment. The measured noise exhibits a time-dependency which can be divided into three phases: (1) initial impact phase, (2) open cavity flow phase, (3) cavity collapse and bubble oscillation phase. In most cases, the waveform of bubble oscillation phase is dominant rather than that of initial impact phase. Pinch-off time, where a cavity begins to collapse, occurs at 0.18 ~ 0.2 second and the average lasting time of bubble was 0.9 ~ 1.3 second. The energy of water-entry impact noise is focused in the frequency region lower than 100 Hz, and the generated noise is influenced by the nose shapes, object mass, and launching velocity. As a result, energy spectral density on the bubble frequency is higher in the order of flat-faced, conical, hemisphere nose, and the increase of initial energy raises the energy spectral density on the bubble frequency in the cylinder body of same shape. Finally, we compare the measurements with the simulated signals and spectrum based on the bubble explosion physics, and obtain satisfactory agreements between them.

The reduction of vehicle interior noise has been the main interest of NVH engineers. The driver's perception of the vehicle noise is strongly affected by the psychoacoustic characteristics of the noise and the SPL. The existing methods to evaluate the SQ for vehicle interior noise are linear regression analysis of subjective SQ metrics by statistics and the estimation of subjective SQ values by neural network. However, these methods strongly depend on jury tests, this leads to difficulties. To reduce the important of the jury tests, we suggest a new method using the Mahalanobis distance for SQ evaluation. And, the optimal characteristic values that influenced the results of sound quality evaluation on the basis by main effect. Finally, we developed a new method based on the MD method to evaluate sound quality. The result of noise evaluation revealed that the sound quality could be well improved by changing the structural characteristics of the vehicle.

The noise between floors of apartment has been hot issue nowadays. In order to improve the noise insulation performance, we proposed the antivibration rubber system which can be applied to the floor system for sound insulation. Among various types of elastomer, butyl rubber showed the good aging characteristic, low rebound resilience and high damping factor. Thus, the butyl rubber was selected as a basic rubber for antivibration rubber system. The effects of type and loading amounts of carbon black on antivibration properties of butyl rubber were studied. The increase of surface area and the content of carbon black resulted in high bound rubber fraction, high mechanical property, low rebound resilience, and high damping factor of butyl rubber. Based on the results of this study, the new antivibration rubber was prepared and applied to the floor system for sound insulation. The impact sounds of floor system proposed in this study were 40 dB and 43 dB in cases of light weight and heavy weight impact sound, respectively.

도로는 국내 물류를 담당하는 중요한 기반시설로 국내 경제성장의 중추적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 특히, 1970년대 개통된 경부고속도로는 우리나라의 대동맥으로 산업 성장의 파급효과를 가져오는 기반이 되었고, 공학적인 차원에서도 도로 포장재료를 경험 및 과학적으로 분석하여 적용하는 계기로 도로공학발전의 초석이 되었다. 과거에 적용된 도로 포장재료는 기술자의 경험에 의존하여 배합설계가 진행되었으며, 중차량의 비중이 많은 지역은 강성포장을 적용하고, 상대적으로 중차량이 적은 구간은 연성포장을 적용하는 설계를 따랐다. 하지만, 강성포장을 대표하는 시멘트 콘크리트 포장은 시공상의 복잡함과 시멘트 콘크리트 특성상 강도발현을 위해서 일정기간 이상의 양생일수가 필요하므로, 도로건설의 인프라 구축이 시급한 지역에서는 사용의 제약이 따른다. 연성포장을 대표적하는 재료로는 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장을 들 수 있다. 강성포장보다는 상대적으로 시공상의 편리함과 일정기간의 양생이 필요하지 않아 도로 포장재료로서 그 적용성이 우수하다. 과거에는 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 종류가 단순화되어 표층, 기층에 대표되는 몇몇 혼합물이 도로 포장재료로 사용되었다. 도로공학의 학문적 발달과 함께 도로포장의 전반적인 기술이 향상되고 있다. 과거의 도로 기능은 국가 경제발전을 위한 산업용 원자재의 운반이 주요 기능을 담당하고 있는 반면, 국민의 경제적 수준이 증대되고 자가용의 보급이 보편화되면서 도로 이용의 주체가 국민 개개인으로 변화되고 있고, 그 요구조건도 다양화되고 있다. 이에 발맞추어 도로공학의 기술적 향상으로 다양한 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 도로포장재료가 개발되고 있으며, 대표적인 제품으로는 배수성 포장, 반강성 포장, 보수성 포장, 탄성 포장, 저소음 포장 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기능성 포장의 하나인 저소음 포장의 특성 중 생산성능을 평가하였다. 생산성능이란 저소음포장을 현장 플랜트에서 생산하였을 경우의 특성을 분석하는 과정으로, 실내 실험으로 최적화된 재료의 배합은 이상적인 조건을 적용하여 결정된 것으로 입고된 현장 골재 및 생산 플랜트 조건에 따른 그 배합 및 물성이 변동을 가져올 수 있다. 특히, 저소음 포장은 기존의 아스팔트 포장과 달리 적용되는 골재, 아스팔트의 재료가 고성능을 발휘하기 위하여 특수한 재료를 적용해야 한다. 배합설계에서도 개립도 아스팔트 혼합물에 적용되는 내구성분석 절차를 따라야 하므로, 실내 배합설계 혼합물과 현장 생산 혼합물간의 물리적 특성에 차이를 나타낼 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 실내 및 현장 혼합물의 전반적인 물리적 특성의 차이를 분석하여 저소음 포장의 현장 생산성능을 확인하였다. 분석요소로는 혼합물의 기초물성면에서는 밀도, 공극률을 분석하였으며, 실내 내구성면에서는 마샬안정도, 잔류안정도를 분석하여 실내 및 현장 혼합물의 물성차이를 분석하였다. 기초물성을 평가할 수 있는 밀도와 공극률에서는 생산 현장 혼합물이 실내 혼합물 보다 높은 밀도와 낮은 공극률을 나타내고 있으며, 이에 상관하여 강도특성을 분석할 수 있는 마샬안정도도 생산 현장 혼합물이 다소 높은 강도를 발휘하였다. 또한, 수분에 대한 안정성을 평가하는 인자인 잔류 안정도에서는 실내 및 현장 혼합물 모두 우수한 성능을 발휘하였다.

In this study, machine learning-based clustering and classification of residential noise in apartment buildings was conducted using frequency and temporal characteristics. First, a residential noise source dataset was constructed . The residential noise source dataset was consisted of floor impact, airborne, plumbing and equipment noise, environmental, and construction noise. The clustering of residential noise was performed by K-Means clustering method. For frequency characteristics, L_eq and L_max values were derived for 1/1 and 1/3 octave band for each sound source. For temporal characteristics, Leq values were derived at every 6 ms through sound pressure level analysis for 5 s. The number of k in K-Means clustering method was determined through the silhouette coefficient and elbow method. The clustering of residential noise source by frequency characteristic resulted in three clusters for both L_eq and L_max analysis. Temporal characteristic clustered residential noise source into 9 clusters for L_eq and 11 clusters for L_max. Clustering by frequency characteristic clustered according to the proportion of low frequency band. Then, to utilize the clustering results, the residential noise source was classified using three kinds of machine learning. The results of the residential noise classification showed the highest accuracy and f1-score for data labeled with L_eq values in 1/3 octave bands, and the highest accuracy and f1-score for classifying residential noise sources with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model using both frequency and temporal features, with 93 % accuracy and 92 % f1-score.

To minimize occupational noise induced hearing loss, it is recommended that workers should not be exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 dBA for over 8 h. In the present study, noise exposure levels were measured for seven workers based on their tasks on a training ship. The A-weighted noise exposure level (L_ex,24h) was measured by taking into account the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound level (L_Aeq,i), duration (h) and noise contribution (L_ex,24h,i) from the workers' locations. Results are thus obtained for different job categories as follows: officer group L_ex,24h=56.1 dB, navigation crew L_ex,24h=58.9 dB, navigation cadet L_ex,24h=62.0 dB, ship's cook L_ex,24h=64.3 dB, engine cadet L_ex,24h=91.1 dB, engineer L_ex,24h=91.1 dB, and engine crew L_ex,24h=95.1 dB. It was determined that the engineers, engine crews, and engine cadets in charge of machinery must wear hearing protection devices. By wearing hearing protection devices when working in highly noisy engine rooms, it is estimated that the noise expose levels could be reduced by the following amounts: engineer L_ex,24h=23.1 dB, engine Crew L_ex,24h=24.4 dB, and engine cadet L_ex,24h=21.5 dB. Moreover, if the no. 2 lecture room and mess room bottom plates in the cadets accommodations were improved to the 64 mm A-60-class floating plates, then further reductions are possible as follows: navigation cadet L_ex,24h=4.3 dB and engine cadet L_ex,24h=1.8 dB.
