The kerfs between arrayed piezoelectric elements in a medical ultrasonic transducer or a piezoelectric composite transducer are generally filled by polymeric materials. The boundary condition of the elements for lateral mode vibration is changed according to the kerf-filling materials, so that the resonance frequency for longitudinal mode of the transducer is also varied. In this study, to investigate the resonance frequency variation for an arrayed transducer experimentally, the piezoelectric vibration elements of $14mm{\times}0.22mm{\times}0.44mm$ were fabricated and those were linearly arrayed. And, the resonance frequencies were measured for three cases of kerf-filling condition, non-filling and two different kinds of epoxy filling. Conclusively, it is confirmed that the resonant frequency variation shows the similar tendency with the theoretical one for the longitudinal mode.

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 swirl injector as an acoustic absorber, swirl injector was regarded as a quarter-wave resonator and its damping capacity is verified in atmospheric temperature. Experiments were carried out with copied tubes on air core because the interior air core volume of injector has a direct effect on damping. From the experimental data, it is proved that increasing the number of injectors mounted at each anti-node point can increase acoustic damping effect. Also, when tuned injectors at 1L, 1T, 1L1T modes simultaneously are installed at each anti-node point of model chamber, the damping effect of tuned injectors with multi modes agree well with it of tuned injectors with single mode.

European spruce and maple were to be estimated as raw material of violin family instruments with linear modal analysis to provide the information data for the design of their bodies. Wood specimens cut in different direction were excited by impact hammer to measure the resonant frequency with typical vibrational modes. In spite of lower density than maple, European spruce showed the excellent acoustical properties with higher resonant frequency. And edge-grained spruce had more even frequencies than flat-grained ones to be more acceptable as front plate of violin. Resonant frequency was positively correlated with wood density of each specimen and the coefficients of edge-grained specimens were higher than those of flat-grained specimens of both wood species.

층간소음의 대부분의 원인이 아이들 뛰거나 발걸음으로 나타나고 있어 층간소음 저감을 위한 선행 연구로 층간소음의 주요 충격원인 보행 행위에 대한 정밀한 연구가 필요하다. 성인 보행 충격력과 그에 따른 바닥충격음을 계측하여 보행하중이 바닥충격음에 영향을 주는 요소를 분석하였다. 보행하중 중 발 뒤꿈치 충격력은 전체 충격하중을 주파수 특성을 대변할 수 있는 임펄스 형태의 하중으로 충격력은 뱅머신 또는 고무공보다 낮지만 1 차 영점(First zero)이 80Hz 정도로 높아 유효 가진 주파수 대역이 표준 중량충격원 보다 높았다. 구조물과 수음실의 고유모드 특성으로 인해 외부 충격에 대한 구조체 진동 및 음압의 공진 현상이 발생되기 때문에 공진 성분이 포함되는 바닥충격음 레벨은 순수 충격력 특성인 보행 또는 표준 중량충격원의 옥타브 밴드 충격력 폭로레벨과는 전혀 다른 주파수 특성을 나타내었다.

We simulated Frequency-shifted feedback laser using AOM inside the cavity. We analyze instantaneous oscillation frequency at peak spectral intensity and Comb bandwidth of output spectrum from Wigner-Ville distribution of intracavity electric field. The Comb bandwidth is defined as the product of the saturation-broadened bandwidth and the total resonant modes contributing to FSF operation.

The temperature dependence of the characteristics in a PZT-5 piezoelectric ceramic vibrator with the transverse mode was investigated in the range of $-100^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$ using a thermal vacuum chamber to utilize the vibrator in aerospace industries. As the results, at room temperature, the resonant and anti-resonant frequencies had the minimum value, whereas, the dielectric constant increased linearly from about 2500 to 7500 in the given temperature range. The mechanical loss decreased linearly from 0.08 to 0.03. Through the regression analysis, the temperature dependence functions of the characteristics were derived to linear and square regression functions. Applying the functions, the input admittance characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrator were calculated, and the results showed good agreement with measured ones. It can be confirmed that this method is useful to estimate the characteristics change of the piezoelectric vibrator caused by the temperature change under the space environment.

In this paper, the resonant characteristic of a Tonpilz transducer with a fixed tail mass has been studied by means of an equivalent circuit approach. An equivalent circuit has been designed to describe the characteristic of a Tonpilz transducer that has an additional resonance because of its fixed tail mass. The transmitting voltage response of the transducer calculated by the designed circuit has been compared with that by the FEA (finite element analysis) to confirm the validity of the circuit. This equivalent circuit approach produces identical results with the FEA, in which the variation of resonant frequencies and TVR has been clearly figured out in relation to the stiffness of the mounting fixture and the mass of the tail mass. The suggested equivalent circuit can be utilized to figure out the characteristics of the Tonpilz transducer more efficiently than FEA that requires much calculation time and revision of the models in accordance with the variation of design variables.

In this paper, we designed a wideband Tonpilz transducer, and verified the validity of the design through experiments. The wide frequency bandwidth was achieved by coupling the fundamental longitudinal mode of the transducer with a flapping mode of the head mass. Structure of the Tonpilz transducer was optimized by means of the finite element method and genetic algorithm to achieve the widest fractional bandwidth under design constraints. The optimized structure showed a far wider -6 dB fractional bandwidth of transmitting responses than that of single mode transducers. For verification of the design result, we manufactured a transducer prototype of the designed structure and characterized its performance, which showed good agreement with the design results.

The present work suggests a numerical approach using a thermoacoustic network model for the eigenvalue calculation of thermoacoustic instability problems in an aero gas turbine combustor. The model is developed based on the conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy between acoustic network elements with an area change. Acoustic field in a practical aero gas turbine combustor which has a complicated flow path is analyzed using the current model. The predictive capabilities of the current modeling approach are compared with the acoustic characteristics calculated using Helmholtz solver based on 3D finite element method(FEM).
