In the power ultrasound fields, the flange position for fixing the transducer is an important factor influencing on electro-mechanical efficiency of the transducer. We suggested a practical method that can determine the installation position of the flange for different resonance modes of the bolt-clamped type Langevin ultrasonic transducer. A semicircular wedge-shaped jig was manufactured and moved along the lateral surface of the transducer. The vibration characteristics were examined after a constant pressure was applied to the semicircular wedge-shaped jig. By observing the change of the input admittance of the transducer depending on the position of the pressure application, the optimum position for the flange installation could be determined. The resonant modes of the transducer were calculated by a Mason's equivalent circuit, and the particle velocity distribution for each resonance mode was calculated by a transmission line model. Since the optimum positions determined from an experimental result show a good correspondence with the node positions of the vibration modes calculated by the transmission line model, the validity of the suggested method was verified.

A finite element method is used for analyzing the resonant characteristics of three- dimensional wind tunnel with circular cross section. The resonant frequencies of wind tunnel is nearly constant in Mach number range of 0.0-0.2. The resonant frequencies and modes of three-dimensional low speed wind tunnel have been calculated. The 20-node isoparametric element gives accurate results compared with the experimental results.

In order to effectively predict thermo-acoustic instability within real combustors of rocket engines and gas turbines, in the present study, the Helmholtz equation in conjunction with the time lag hypothesis is discretized by the finite element method on three-dimensional hybrid unstructured mesh. Numerical nonlinearity caused by the combustion response term is linearized by an iterative method, and the large-scale eigenvalue problem is solved by the Arnoldi method available in the ARPACK. As a consequence, the final solution of complex valued eigenfrequency and acoustic pressure field can be interpreted as resonant frequency, growth rate, and modal shape for acoustic modes of interest. The predictive capabilities of the present method have been validated against two academic problems with complex impedance boundary and premixed flame, as well as an ambient acoustic test for liquid rocket combustion chamber with/without baffle.

This study conducted a 3D thermo-acoustic analysis based on the helmholtz solver to analyze the major resonance modes causing combustion instability in a single-can combustor. The experimental investigations were carried out on a test rig designed by the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) under various conditions of hydrogen co-firing and fuel staging. Through these experiments, two primary unstable frequencies were identified. To determine the resonance modes of these frequencies, a 3D thermo-acoustic analysis was conducted using temperature information from the test rig. The results confirmed that the unstable frequencies observed in the experiments were all longitudinal modes. Additionally, the mode shapes identified in the analysis facilitated a simplification of the exit geometry for the low-order network model, confirming that this did not significantly affect the fundamental resonance modes.

It was thought that the stiffness of a coated specimen became lower than that of the solid wood because the stiffness of the dried film of coating material is lower than that of the solid wood. The authors were trying to compare the effect of lacquer varnish and rhus lacquer on the resonant frequency of the solid woods for the violin, spruce and maple. Vibration modal shape of coated specimens were same to those of solid woods, but the frequency became lower at each mode as were expected regardless of coat. frequency decrement of coated specimen was getting larger at upper mode in both European violin woods, however, rhus lacquer coated spruce specimens were less affected than lacquer varnish coated specimens.

Swirl injector with multi-stage tangential entry was analyzed to suppress high-frequency combustion instability in Liquid Rocket Engines. In order to analyze the effect of swirl injector as an acoustic absorber, swirl injector was regarded as a quarter-wave resonator and it's damping capacity is verified in atmospheric temperature. It has a finite mode of vibration and natural frequencies which can be tuned to the natural frequencies of a model combustion chamber. When the targeted injector for each modes is located at anti-node point, the amplitude of modes was decreased. And when the injector of large diameter is mounted, the split of mode which accompanies the decrease of amplitude appeared. From the experimental data, it is proved that if the location of injector mounted is located at an anti-node position of the targeted modes with proper volume, the amplitude of modes is decreased and the split of modes occurs at anti-node point.

The previous RST postulates that the scattering field, within each modal partial wave, comprise of the resonance and the background components. The new RST is recently developed by the product expansion of the scattering functions in the field of acoustics. The new formulation suggests that the scattering coefficients consist of resonance, non-resonance, and their interactional portions. In the scattering problems of acoustic waves, the moduli and phase of the resonance coefficient are obtained correctly by the new RST. In our recent works the new RST was successfully applied to the scattering problem of electromagnetic waves for coated conducting cylinder and sphere. In this paper, the new RST is extended to the 2-dimensional scattering problem of electromagnetic waves for a homogeneous dielectric cylinder, and the numerical results are compared with the previous RST.

Swirl injector with adjustable backhole length was analyzed to suppress high-frequency combustion instability in Liquid Rocket Engines. In order to analyze the effect of variable backhole injector as an acoustic absorber, backhole injector was regarded as a quarter-wave resonator. As a result of theoretical approaches and acoustic tests, backhole injector with adjustable length could decrease the unstable modes of combustion chamber. And the damping efficiency was estimated by measuring damping rates experimentally.

In this paper, sound absorption of thin elastic plates installed in a rigid duct is discussed using an analytic method. The number of plates can be one or two, and each plate might have micro-perforation. Vibration of the plates and sound pressure fields inside the duct and air cavity are expressed in terms of an infinite series of modal functions. Under the plane wave assumption, a low frequency approximation is derived by including the first few plate modes. It is found that the sound absorption coefficient of the plates without micro-perforation shows sharp peaks at resonance frequencies, and due to the interaction between the plates and air cavity, the resonance frequencies move as the cavity depth changes. For the case of micro-perforated plates, it is found that the sound absorption is mainly affected by the perforation ratio. When the perforation ratio is order of few percent, the sound absorption is almost independent of plate vibration.
