We developed an electronic lens for acoustic imaging systems, which is linear array with 31 microphones equally spaced with distance 34mm. Resonant frequency fo receiver circuit coupled to microphone is 20 kHz. We arranged 16 microphones horizontally and 15 microphones vertically, so that the array allows us to obtain a 2 dimensional angle of source, and to track the motion of source in real time. Due to the problem of aliasing in discrete Fourier Transfrom, the maximum observable angle of the lens is limited to 15${\circ}$. We also employed quadrature phase detection scheme to adjust the focus. We have tested the acoustic lens with a personal computer in an anechoic room and obtained the results agreed with the acoustic imaging theory.

A Helmholtz resonator is applied to control high frequency combustion instability in liquid rocket engine. Damping characteristics of the Helmholtz resonator are investigated by the flow characteristic and its design. To simulate combustion instability, resonance in a test section(with fixed volume) is made by a pressure pulsator, and then damping characteristics are investigated. Its orifice length and diameter are selected as the design parameters and flow rates are varied to reveal the effect on damping characteristics. The experimental results show that a Helmholtz resonator is also working with flows. When length and diameter of an orifice are small, the tuning frequency increases as the flow velocity increases.

The hybrid acoustic sensor for implantable hearing aid has the structure in which a sound pressure based acoustic sensor (ECM) and a vibration based acceleration sensor are combined. This sensor combines the low frequency sensitivity of an acoustic sensor with the high frequency sensitivity of an acceleration sensor, allowing the acquisition of a wide range of sound from low to high frequency. In this paper, an acceleration sensor for use in a hybrid acoustic sensor has been proposed. The acceleration sensor captures the vibration of the tympanic membrane generated by the acoustic signal. The size of the proposed acceleration sensor was determined to diameter of 3.2 mm considering the anatomical structure of the tympanic membrane and the standard of ECM. In order to make the hybrid acoustic sensor have high sensitivity and wide bandwidth characteristics, the aim of the resonance frequency of the acceleration sensor is to be generated at about 3.5 kHz. The membrane of the acceleration sensor derives geometric structure through mathematical model and finite element analysis. Based on the analysis results, the membrane was implemented through a chemical etching process. In order to verify the frequency characteristics of the implemented membrane, vibration measurement experiment using external force was performed. The experiment results showed mechanical resonance of the membrane occurred at 3.4 kHz. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed acceleration sensor can be utilized for a hybrid acoustic sensor.

A car horn serves a crucial safety role as a means of communication between drivers and a part that alerts pedestrians in advance. While previous studies have utilized finite element method and electric circuit model to simulate and analyze characteristics of the car horns, there remains a lack of research on design methods of a trumpet horn. This paper presents a design approach that predicts the operating frequency based on the acoustic reactance at the throat of the horn, once the vibrating part is determined. We deal with a horn combining both an exponential horn and a waveguide in the acoustic section, and confirm that the acoustic reactance at the horn throat measured by impedance tube experiment agrees well compared with the numerical result obtained using the finite element method. The resonance frequency of the car horn is predicted using the COMSOL Multiphysics finite element numerical analysis model, and the proposed design method is validated by measuring the operating frequency of the designed horn in a sound pressure experiment. As a result, the resonance measured in a semi-anechoic chamber environment by applying a DC voltage of 12 [V] excluding the holder occurs accurately within a few [Hz] of the design operating frequency. This paper discuss the design method of a trumpet horn from the perspective of the horn's acoustic reactance, and is expected to be useful for designing horn systems.

A split beam ultrasonic transducer operating at a frequency of 70 kHz to use in the fish sizing echo sounder was developed and the acoustic radiation characteristics were experimentally analyzed. The amplitude shading method utilizing the properties of the Chebyshev polynomials was used to obtain side lobe levels below -20 dB and to optimize the relationship between main beam width and side lobe level of the transducer, and the amplitude shading coefficient to each of the elements was achieved by changing the amplitude contribution of elements with 4 weighting transformers embodied in the planar array transducer assembly. The planar array split beam transducer assembly was composed of 36 piezoelectric ceramics (NEPEC N-21, Tokin) of rod type of 10 mm in diameter and 18.7 mm in length of 70 kHz arranged in the rectangular configuration, and the 4 electrical inputs were supplied to the beamformer. A series of impedance measurements were conducted to check the uniformity of the individual quadrants, and also in the configurations of reception and transmission, resonant frequency, and the transmitting and receiving characteristics were measured in the water tank and analyzed, respectively. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Average resonant and antiresonant frequencies of electrical impedance for four quadrants of the split beam transducer in water were 69.8 kHz and 83.0 kHz, respectively. Average electrical impedance for each individual transducer quadrant was 49.2$\Omega$ at resonant frequency and 704.7$\Omega$ at antiresonant frequency. 2. The resonance peak in the transmitting voltage response (TVR) for four quadrants of the split beam transducer was observed all at 70.0 kHz and the value of TVR was all about 165.5 dB re 1 $\mu$Pa/V at 1 m at 70.0 kHz with bandwidth of 10.0 kHz between -3 dB down points. The resonance peak in the receiving sensitivity (SRT) for four combined quadrants (quad LU+LL, quad RU+RL, quad LU+RU, quad LL+RL) of the split beam transducer was observed all at 75.0 kHz and the value of SRT was all about -177.7 dB re 1 V/$\mu$Pa at 75.0 kHz with bandwidth of 10.0 kHz between -3 dB down points. The sum beam transmitting voltage response and receiving senstivity was 175.0 dB re 1$\mu$Pa/V at 1 m at 75.0 kHz with bandwidth of 10.0 kHz, respectively. 3. The sum beam of split beam transducer was approximately circular with a half beam angle of $9.0^\circ$ at -3 dB points all in both axis of the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. The first measured side lobe levels for the sum beam of split beam transducer were -19.7 dB at $22^\circ$ and -19.4 dB at $-26^\circ$ in the horizontal plane, respectively and -20.1 dB at $22^\circ$ and -22.0 dB at $-26^\circ$ in the vertical plane, respectively. 4. The developed split beam transducer was tested to estimate the angular position of the target in the beam through split beam phase measurements, and the beam pattern loss for target strength corrections was measured and analyzed.

This paper presents a new method for determining L, Cs, and Cp in a series parallel resonant inverter. This inverter is suitable for driving high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. The operating frequency is selected to avoid acoustic resonances which are governed by the size and shape of the arc tube. L, Cs and Cp, are chosen to satisfy the ignition and steady state requirements of the lamp. Equations are developed to analyze the starting condition and steady state operating condition of the lamp. For the prototype ballast for a 250W Metal Halide Lamp, experimental results are presented in order to validate the proposed method.

승용차의 차실 내부소음 특성 및 저감에 과한 일련의 고찰로 다음의 결론을 얻었다. (1) 차실 내부소음의 주된 근원은 회전속도의 제이고주파에 해당되는 주파수 성분이 지배적이다. (2) 차실 공진(명) 음은 engine으로부터의 진동 입력에 대한 차체의 ring mode 공진 및 차실 공명현상으로 발생되며 실험 결과는 종래의 연구 결과들과 잘 일치되었다. (3) 차실 내부소음이 차체의 구조, 진동 및 실내 음향공영에 크게 의존하기 때문에, 이 두가지 요소로써 문제의 발견이 가능하며 이들을 이용한 저감대책 수립은 효과적이다. (4) 차실 내부소음의 저감을 위하여 구조적damping이나 흡음재의 적절한 사용 등이 다소의 효 과를 주나 공진(명) 음의 근본적인 대책이 되지 못하며, 차실 공명 특성을 변화시키는 것은 사 실상 불가능하다. (5) 차체의 구조적 진동 특성을 고려하여 보강된 차량의 경우 문제 영역에서의 현저한 소음감 소효과가 얻어졌다. 그러나 이와 같은 방안의 적용은 개발의 초기 단계에서 실시됨이 바람직하다.

A finite element method is used for analyzing the resonance characteristics of circular wind tunnel. Two-dimensional circular wind tunnel with one and three slots is considered. The wind tunnel resonance characteristics are affected by the number and position of the slots of the wind tunnel. The resonant frequencies for the vertical vibration mode are higher than those for the horizontal vibration mode. The resonance frequencies increase as the open area ratio increases.
