This paper proposes an algorithm to design the non-linear array so as to form efficiently the one-shot beam with relatively less sensors for acoustic measurement. In this algorithm, according to the spatial sampling theory the part for high frequency(HF) band has equispaced sensor array and the sensor distances below the HF band are decided as a function of number of HF sensors. As the results of the simulations, the mean and variances of directivity index(DI) of non-linear array which has less sensors are similar to those of linear array. and the DI variation for beam steering angle is very small. And the beam width at -2dB point is 6.8°. Thus it is confirmed that the design algorithm for non-linear array which is proposed to have less sensors can be efficiently used in acoustic measurement.

Typical underwater acoustic transducers detect only the magnitude of an acoustic pressure and they have the limitation of not being able to recognize the direction of the sound signal. Hence, the authors of this paper proposed a new vector sensor structure based on Tonpilz transducers that could detect both the magnitude and the direction of a sound pressure. In the proposed structure, the piezoceramic ring was divided into four segments, and proper combination of the output voltages of the segments in response to the external sound pressure could provide the information on the orientation of the sound source. In this paper, a Tonpilz transducer has been fabricated to have the proposed structure and its characteristics has been measured to confirm the validity of the proposed structure.

In this study, the ground impedance is measured using the standing wave method in a free field on the grass, the soil, and the ground covered with asphalt and cement. And the excess attenuation of sound is investigated. Results are obtained in the frequency range between 300Hz and 1000Hz. There are very good agreements between the results of the measured ground impedance and the prediction of Delanyand Bazley. The ground impedance is increased in order the grass, the soil, the asphalt and the cement road, decreased with frequency for each the ground. The excess attenuation of sound is mainly determined by the ground impedance. The experimental results of the excess attenuation over the different types and the microphone heights are compared with the theoretical values.

This paper is the first step to study on the acoustic characteristics of the Haegeum, a Korean traditional bowed-string instrument. We measured acoustic transfer functions of a Haegeum body using impulse response method. All the measurements are performed in anechoic chamber, INMC, SNU. We examined resonant characteristics of the Haegeum body with obtained transfer functions. Then we performed additional studies which are the Chladni pattern experiments and calculations of air cavity resonances to verify relations between the resonant peaks on the transfer functions and the resonances of each component, such as top plate, air cavity and so on. As a result, we can explain the acoustic characteristics of a Haegeum body and its components.

In this paper we propose a method for measuring the shear modulus of an ultrasound soft tissue phantom using an acoustic radiation force. The proposed method quantitatively determines the shear modulus based on the rise time of a displacement induced by an acoustic radiation force at the focal point of a focused ultrasound beam. The shear wave speed and shear modulus obtained from the proposed method and a shear wave propagation method were compared to verify the validity of the proposed method. In the shear wave propagation method, the shear modulus is first computed by measuring the propagating speed of a shear wave induced in a phantom by a limited-diffraction transmit field, and then was compared to that obtained with the proposed method in an ultrasound data acquisition system calibrated based on the first computed shear modulus. The relative errors between the two methods were found to be 4% for shear wave speed and less than 9% for shear modulus, confirming the usefulness of the proposed method.

Sound barrier walls are one of the most effective alternatives for reducing environmental noise on roads and railways in the city center. The insertion loss of the sound barrier against road traffic noise is the sum of the sound transmission loss, sound absorption loss, and sound energy reduction due to the diffraction attenuation of the sound barrier. The sound transmission loss of the sound barrier is one of the important factors that determine the insertion loss of the sound barrier and is a basic indicator that determines the performance of the sound barrier. Nevertheless, there is not a separate standard in Korea for measuring the acoustic transmission loss of sound barrier panels. There are only a few conditions in KS F 4770 series that stipulates on the general material of sound barrier panels. This thesis examines the necessity of the acoustic transmission loss measurement and evaluation standards of sound barrier walls, and seeks a measurement method in a free sound field (anechoic chamber) sound receiving room considering the characteristics of sound barrier walls installed in external spaces, unlike indoor building materials. In addition, a single number evaluation method using a reference spectrum was proposed so that the sound insulation effect according to various installation places such as roadside or railroad side can be easily displayed.

실시간 동적 GPS 측위를 이용한 해저수심측량은 GPS 수신기가 이동중인 상태에서 신호단절 없이 연속적인 수심측정이 가능하며 등수심도와 등고선 제작에 정확한 위치를 결정할 수 있고, 음향측심기는 발사파와 수신파의 도달시간을 측정하여 수심을 관측할 수 있기 때문에 실시간으로 정확한 3차원 측량이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 해안지역에 대한 지형 분석을 하기 위하여 기준점에 대한 정지관측을 실시하여 좌표변환계수를 산출하고, 이로부터 실시간 동적 GPS 측량과 음향측심기를 이용하여 해운대 해수욕장과 해안을 관측하였다. 1:1,200 축척의 수치지도에서 추출한 수치표고모델에서의 체적은 97953.9 ㎥이며, 실시간 동적 GPS와 음향측심기를 이용하여 추출한 수치표고모델에서의 체적은 95994.9 ㎥로 나타났다. 이는 수치지도에서의 체적과 측량결과의 체적이 단지 2.0%정도로 나타나 실시간 동적 GPS와 음향측심기의 결합에 의한 해저수심측량이 매우 성공적임을 알 수 있었다.

국악전용 공연장으로 지어진 국립국악 소극장의 음향 특성을 실내 음선도, 암소음, 잔향시간 및 음압분포에 의해 분석.평가하였다. 연구결과 무대 앞부분과 객석모서리에서 음선경로차가 17m 이상으로 나타나 회주공조현상의 발생이 예측되며 남부순환도로와 인접하여 소극장내에 높은 암소음이 측정되었다. 잔향시간의 측정결과 과다한 실내 흡음력으로 인해 공석시에 계획값 보다 0.8초 정도가 짧으며 이는 관객입장시 더욱 악화될 것이 예측되어 1석당 실용적을 증가와 실내 흡음력을 가능한 줄일 필요가 있다. 음압레벨은 음악당 전 객석에서 고른 음압분포가 보이고 있으나 무대 음원에서 객석전열 사이에 초기 음압감쇠가 크게 나타나 무대주변의 음압 보강이 요구된다.

표면 반사파가 존재하는 무향수조 내에서 근접 음향 홀로그래피의 적용 가능성을 살펴보기 위하여 여러 변수의 변화에 따른 음장 예측 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수직 배열 센서 및 수평 배열 센서를 이용하는 경우에 대해 해석하였으며 수직 배열센서를 이용하여 한 면에서 측정하는 경우 표면 반사파에 의한 영향은 무시할 만큼 작은 것을 확인하였다. 수평 배열센서를 이용하는 경우에는 표면 반사파의 영향이 상대적으로 크게 나타나 반사파를 고려하기 위해 두개의 측정면에서의 음압값이 필요하며 직접파와 반사파를 모두 고려하는 경우 음압 예측치의 오차가 적게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
