The paper describes measurement techniques for an acoustic transfer characteristic of ship's bridge stimulated by a whistle sound. The response sounds, according to the opening-shutting conditions of bridge doors for T／S ‘SAENURI’, are measured by B＆K 2260D equipment, and then extracted the frequency responses by B＆K 7830 software. To evaluate the measured transfer characteristic, the 128th order FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters, containing the frequency characteristic, are constructed based on the frequency sampling-based design method. Using evaluation indexes with six scales, psychological assessments by five subjects are carried out with test sounds which are convolved source sound and FIR filters. As results of tests, the test sounds gives A／sub s／=3.3∼4.7 which means the psychological sense of 'it is almost similar sound as original ones in a real world', and thus it is cleary seen tint the proposed method can be suit for the measurement of an acoustic transfer characteristic of ship's bridg.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the correlations between acoustic properties, such as speed of sound and normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation, and bone mineral density in femur with high fracture risk. The speed of sound and the normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation in 15 bovine femoral trabecular bone samples in vitro were measured by using a through-transmission method with two matched pairs of ultrasonic transducers with center frequencies of 0.5 and 1.0 MHz. The volumetric bone mineral density of the trabecular bone samples was measured by using micro-computed tomography. The bone mineral density exhibited strong correlations with both the speed of sound and the normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation measured by using the 0.5 and the 1.0 MHz transducers. The highest correlation was found between the bone mineral density and the normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation measured by using the 0.5 MHz ultrasonic transducers. The results suggest that the acoustic properties measured in the femur in vitro can be used as indices for the prediction of femoral bone mineral density.

In this paper, the sensitivity compensation method for three-dimensional acoustic intensity probe in the higher frequency range has been studied. The measurement error in the higher frequency range is generated from the phase mismatch between microphone's signals of the probe. If the wavelength of sound signal measured is less than those of the distance between microphones of the probe, that is, the higher frequency of the sound signal, the bigger measurement error is generated. In this study, we proposed the compensation methods for one-dimensional acoustic intensity probe with two-microphones, and the efficiency of those methods were investigated by numerical calculation of computer. It was most effective method to compensate the phase mismatch between microphone for the acoustic intensity probe was investigated for the sound estimated. and the efficiency of this method in a three-dimensional probe was investigated for the sound wave travelling in the arbitrary direction by numerical calculation of computer. In this result, the efficiency was proved that, for the measurement error of 1dB or less with the three-dimensional probe of 60mm space, the frequency should be less than 1.2kHz without the error compensation method, but the frequency increased up to 2.8kHz with the error compensation method.

진동판 변위에 따라 변화하는 스피커의 비선형 강성과 비선형 force factor를 간단히 함수로 모델링하고 각각의 계수를 구하는 방법을 살펴보았다. 강서의 계수를 구하는데 있어서 질량을 부가하는 기계적인 방법을 사용하여 강성과 force factor 간의 커플링을 배제하도록 하였으며, 공진시 스피커로 입력되는 전압, 전류 파형으로부터 force factor의 함수를 얻어 curve fitting 함으로써 force factor의 계수를 얻을 수 있게 하였다. 실험시 변위의 측정은 밀폐형 스피커의 내부 음압을 측정하여 변위를 간접측정하는 방법을 사용하였다.

고주파 음원을 사용하여 측정한 천해 해역에서의 잔향음 특성 변화와 해양 환경요소와의 연관성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 여름철에 실시한 현장실험에서 획득한 잔향음신호를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 수직 음속이 음의 기울기를 갖고 있어서 해저면 잔향음이 우세하다. 2) 음파발사 방위각에 따라 19dB 이상의 해저면 잔향음준위 차이를 보인다. 3) 계산된 해저면 후방산란 강도는 기존의 측정자료에 비해 약간 높게 나타난다.

An approximation of speed of sound in the measurement plane is essential for the inverse estimation of temperature. To this end, an inverse problem relating the measured retarded time data in between set of sensors and actuators array located on the wall is formulated. The involved transfer matrix and its coefficient vectors approximate speed of sound of the measurement plane by using the radial basis function with finite number of interpolation points deployed inside the target field. Then, the temperature field can be reconstructed by using spatial interpolation technique, which can achieve high spatial resolution with proper number of interpolation points. A large number of retarded time data of acoustic paths in between sensors and arrays are needed to obtain accurate reconstruction result. However, the shortage of interpolation points due to practical limitations can cause the decrease of spatial resolution and deterioration of the reconstruction result. In this works, a regeneration for obtaining the additional retarded time data for an arbitrary acoustic path is suggested to overcome the shortage of interpolation points. By applying the regeneration technique, many interpolation points can be deployed inside the field by increasing the number of retarded time data. As a simulation example, two rectangular duct sections having arbitrary temperature distribution are reconstructed by two different data set: measured data only, combination of measured and regenerated data. The result shows a decrease in reconstruction error by 15 % by combining the original and regenerated retarded time data.

The ADP is an advanced piece of oceanographic equipment that measures water speed and direction profiles from the acoustic Doppler principle. In recent years, the strength of the acoustic backscatter obtained from ADP has been used to measure vertically suspended sediment concentration(SSC) profiles. In this study, an ADP was installed in coastal waters near Yumsan, on the west coast of Korea, and flow and sediment data were gathered simultaneously. SSC concentrations were calculated from the acoustic backscatter strengths adjusted by using calibrated acoustic coefficients. The observed SSC profiles were compared with analytical solutions and showed good agreement. Simultaneously, the suspended material fluxes were analyzed in detail. ADP was very useful for measuring the vertically distributed suspended sediment concentrations and flow velocity profiles.
