Cylindrical array sensor of a surface ship to detect an enemy is normally installed in the sonar dome. Reflected signals by some structures inside the sonar dome make unwanted signals. To minimize unwanted signals, acoustic baffles are used. Acoustic baffles are hard to install and replace, so the durability of acoustic baffles is an important design parameter. To verify the durability of acoustic baffle, accelerated aging tests according to temperature and pressure were performed. Acoustic baffle specimens were made and they are tested the visual and the performance (echo reduction and transmission loss) inspection before and after aging. After the inspection, the effect of accelerated aging of the acoustic baffles were discussed.

In this paper, a temperature dependent acoustic receiving characteristics of underwater acoustic sensor is studied by theoretical and experimental investigations. Two different types (low mid frequency sensor and high frequency sensor) of underwater acoustic sensors are designed with different configuration of baffle and conditioning plate. The temperature dependent characteristics of the acoustic sensors are investigated within the temperature range from $-2^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. The material properties of the piezoelectric ceramics, molding and baffle, which are the primary materials of the acoustic sensors, are measured with temperature change. The temperature dependent RVS (Receiving Voltage Sensitivity) characteristics of the acoustic sensors are simulated by using the measured material properties. The RVS changes of the acoustic sensors are measured by changing temperature in the watertank where the acoustic sensors are installed. The measured and the simulated data show that the temperature dependent characteristics of the acoustic sensors are mainly dependent for the sound speed changes of the molding material.

판 구조물의 전달 손실은 효과적인 차음 설계를 위한 필수적인 지표 중 하나이다. 특히, 흡/차음재 부착등 적층에 의한 차음 성능의 변화 예측이 중요하다. 실제의 차음 구조물은 유한한 크기를 갖게 마련인데, 현재까지는무한 판 이론에 제한각이나 경계 손실등을 적용하여 그 값을 산출함으로써 판의 유한효과를 고려하였지만, 해석의 임의성으로 인해 일반적인 적용이 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 흡음재가 부착된 유한한 면적을 갖는 적층판의 음향 전달 손실을 임계 주파수 미만의 주파수 대역에 대해 예측하고 흡음재의 부착에 따른 전달 손실의 변화를 관찰하였다. 판은 무한한 강체 배플위에 있다고 가정하였고, 모드 전개법을 응용하여 개개의 판모드들의 거동을 고려하였다. 여기서 흡음재는 공극질 재료로 가정하여 Biot의 이론을 적용하였다. 해석 결과로부터, 흡음재등이 부착된 적층판에 대해서는 일반적인 제한각의 적용이 어렵고, 그 영향을 충분히 고려할 수 있는 새로운 예측 도구의 필요성을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 차실내 음향 특성 개선 연구로 수행중이며 정상 상태 음향 응답 특성 시험을 통하여 차실내에서 운전자가 듣게되는 음장 특성을 알게 되었고, 라우드 스피커에 대한 음향 특성 시험으로 이러한 차실내 음장의 비평탄성은 라우드 스피커 자체의 문제가 아니라 차실 공간등이 요인에 의한 것이라는 것을 추론할 수 있었다. 배플 상태 및 차량에 장착된 상태하의 라우드 스피커에 대한 임피던스 시험 결과로 임피던스의 장착 부위의 후면 공간이 임피던스 특성 변화를 가져오게 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 임피던스 시험 결과를 이용하여 라우드 스피커에 대한 모델 매개 변수를 규명할 수 있었고, 이를 이용한 라우드 스피커의 모델 개선이 가능하게 되었다. 또한, 시간 지연 분광법을 이용하여 차실내에서 음향 전파 과정 분석을 할 수 있었고, 이로 인해 운전자가 시간에 따라 다른 음향 응답 특성으로 듣게 되는 것을 알게 되어 향후 음질 개선 연구 수행에 이용될 수 있다. 이러한 방법으로 음이 진행함에 따라 부딪치는 반사면의 흡음 또는 반사 특성을 파악할 수도 있어서 흡음재의 선정 및 라우드 스피커의 장착 위치 및 각도를 선정하는데 이용될 수도 있다. 향후의 연구 방향은 어떠한 음향 패턴이 운전자가 좋은 음향이라고 느끼게 되는지를 규명하는 것, 즉 주관적 평가와 객관적 시험 데이터 사이의 연관성을 확립하는 것과 라우드 스피커 모델링 기법과 차실 공간의 음향 특성을 이용한 차실내 최적 음향 조건을 규명하는 것이 될 것이다.

Planar array of acoustic transducer is normally used in a sonar system. Acoustic radiation makes beam pattern in underwater uses. The main source of the beam pattern is due to the transducer array. Therefore, estimation of the acoustic radiated power is necessary to predict the performance and efficiency of the transducer. As an example of the acoustic radiation power, nine acoustic transducers mounted to a rigid infinite baffle are considered in a theoretical model. Each piston's acoustic radiation consists of self- and mutual-radiation impedances. Total radiation impedances and acoustic radiation power of the transducers are extracted using on the theory of an equivalent electric circuit. The theoretical results reveal that acoustic radiation power of the transducer depends on the mutual coupling effects.

High-frequency combustion instability results from a feedback coupling between the unsteady heat release rate and the acoustic waves formed resonantly in the combustion chamber. It can be modeled as thermoacoustic problems with various degrees of the assumptions and simplifications. This paper presents numerical analysis of self-excited combustion instabilities in a variable-length lean-premixed combustor and designs of passive control devices such as baffle and acoustic resonators in a framework of 3-D FEM Helmholtz solver. Nonlinear behaviors such as steep-fronted shock waves and a finite amplitude limit cycle are also investigated with a compressible flow simulation technique.

In this paper integral equations are derived and simulated numerically for the mutual radiation impedance of an acoustic transducer in a Plane array. It is assumed that the pistons are mounted in the rigid infinite baffle. The mutual radiation impedance is separated into resistance and reactance and plotted as a function of ka and kd. Mutual radiation resistance is decreased and perturbed according to increase of ka. Mutual radiation reactance is decreased along to increase of ka. Mutual impedance is decreased when kd is increased. However, when ka is 6, 13, and 19 the interaction effect is decayed. When the relative piston position of the two pistons is 45 degree, the amount of interaction becomes minimized.

Acoustic characteristics of combustion chamber having various baffle configurations are numerically investigated by linear acoustic analysis to suggest reliable baffle specifications in first stage of KSLV-I. To determine the configuration of baffles, an acoustic modal analysis as well as the macroscopic analysis has been done. Hub has another effect of suppressing transverse acoustic mode by confining flow in baffled compartment over general effect of increase in acoustic damping of radial acoustic modes. So, a sufficient number of hub needs to be installed to obtain acoustic damping capacity. 3-blade configuration designed to suppress the first tangential mode has relatively low damping capacity, compared to 5 or 6-blade one. Optimum value of axial baffle length has been determined by comparing acoustic characteristics of combustion chamber having various baffle lengths.

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.

In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis code has been developed to predict acoustic behaviors in rocket combustion chambers and to quantitatively evaluate acoustic stability margins for various designs with passive stabilization devices such as baffle and acoustic resonators. As a validation case, computations are made for combustion chambers with/without a hub-and-six-blade baffle which are developed in the KSR-III Development Program. Compared with experimental results from ambient acoustic test, the numerical approach reasonably well predicts acoustic pressure responses to acoustic oscillation excitation for both unbaffled and baffled combustion chambers and yields quantitatively good agreement for acoustic damping effects of baffle installation in terms of damping factor ratio and resonant frequency shift.
