Comparative study was carried out for an acoustic iterative inverse method to estimate bubble size distributions in water. Conventional bubble sizing methods consider only sound attenuation for sizing. Choi and Yoon [IEEE, 26(1), 125-130 (2001)] reported an acoustic iterative inverse method, which extracts the sound speed component from the measured sound attenuation. It can more accurately estimate the bubble size distributions in water than do the conventional methods. The estimation results of acoustic iterative inverse method were compared with other experimental data. The experimental data show good agreement with the estimation from the acoustic iterative inverse method. This iterative technique can be utilized for bubble sizing in the ocean.

The distilled water is used for the ultrasonic wave propagating material in the measurements of broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA) that is applied in industrial and medical applications, The acoustic impedance of water is significantly changed with its temperature. Therefore, the quantitative evaluation of BUA with temperature and the ultrasonic wave propagating distance is highly needed. In this study, we evaluated the variation of attenuation with change in temperature. To measure the variation of BUA in the low frequency region at the temperatures, 27$^{\circ}C$, 29$^{\circ}C$, and 31$^{\circ}C$, we tested the Plyethylene, Teflon, MC-Nylon, Urethane specimens and analyzed the center frequency, frequency bandwidth, spectral peak amplitude. The results showed that BUA value appeared to be lower with increasing temperature. This may be due to the fact that the frequency feature of ultrasonic wave is affected by not only the specific gravity, acoustic impedence, but material crystalline, porosity, the distance of ultrasonic wave propagation in water.

The purpose of this study is to measure the acoustic properties of Tofu and Acorn Curd (Dotori Muk), which are possibly used as tissue mimicking materials (TMMs). Due to its availability and low cost, Tofu was suggested as a TMM by several researchers who measured only sound speed and attenuation. The acoustic properties of Tofu and Muk including the backscattering coefficient were measured in this paper. Sound speed was measured by the time shift in a pulse echo setup. Attenuation coefficients and backscattering coefficients were measured by a broadband method using both 5 MHz and 10 MHz transducers in the frequency domain. The measured acoustic properties of both Tofu and Muk are observed to be similar to those of biological tissues such as beef liver or beef heart.

The bubble size distribution is critical information to understand sound propagation and ambient noise in the ocean. To estimate the bubble size distribution in a bubbly water, the sound attenuation has been only in the conventional acoustic bubble sizing method without considering the sound speed variation. However, the effect of the sound speed variation in bubbly water cannot be neglected because of its compressibility variation. The sound attenuation is also affected by the sound speed variation. In this paper, a coherent acoustic bubble sizing inverse technique is introduced as a new bubble sizing technique with considering sound speed variation as well as the sound attenuation. This coherent sizing method is theoretically verified with the bubble distribution functions of single-size, Gaussian, and power-law functions. Its numerical test results with the coherent acoustic bubble sizing method show good agreement with the given bubble distributions.

짧은 섬유로 강화된 열가소성수지의 복합재료를 대상 재료로 하여 AE의 발생위치(AE source location)를 구하고 AE신호의 진폭분포에 미치는 감쇠 손실(attenuation loss)의 영향을 정량적으로 검토했다. 모의 AE파를 이용하여 측정된 감쇠율은 시험편내의 섬유체적함유율의 증가에 따라 단순 선형관계식으로 예상되는 값보다 더 작았다. 시험편에서 계측된 AE진폭분포에 감쇠손실을 보정한 결과, 시험편의 게이지부에 설정된 각 구역에서 서로 유사한 수준의 진폭분포가 나타났다. 또한 보정된 AE진폭은 시험편의 변형이 진행됨에 따라 더욱 크게 되었다. 따라서, AE진폭을 이용한 고분자복합재료의 손상해석에서는 AE파의 감쇠효과를 보정해야 됨이 확인되었다.

감쇠가 심하고 분산적인 폴리우레탄 재료의 음향특성을 평가하기 위하여 초음파 투과법을 이용하였다. 투과법에 있어서, 작은 크기의 시편에 적용할 수 있도록 Sachse의 방법을 이용하여 음속과 음향감쇠계수를 측정하였다. 기준 신호를 이용하여 음향특성을 측정하였을 때 정확한 결과를 얻기 어려웠다. 반면, 두께가 서로 다른 두 우레탄 시편을 가지고 음향특성을 측정하였을 때 보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 저주파 대역에서의 음향특성을 파악하기 위하여 Kramers-Kronig 관계를 적용하였다. 이를 통해 저주파 영역까지 확대된 주파수에 따른 음속관계식을 구하였고, 음속과 음향감쇠계수의 상관관계를 연구하였다.

액체로켓엔진에서 발생하는 고주파 연소 불안정 제어를 위한 수동 안정화 제어 기구로 음향공을 적용하여, 선형 음향 해석 및 상온 음향 실험을 통해 감쇠 효과의 적합성을 검증하였다. 단일 음향공의 기하학적 형상에 따른 음향 감쇠 효과를 비교하기 위하여 오리피스 직경, 길이를 변화시킨 몇 가지 음향공 모델에 대해 유해 공진주파수 감쇠 효과를 정량적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 다음으로 음향공의 개수에 따른 음향 감쇠 효과를 비교하였다. 주파수 응답함수를 통한 유해주파수 감쇠 성능은 개수 증가에 따라서 우수해졌지만 흡음계수를 통한 최적의 효율 관점에서 볼 때 오히려 과도한 댐핑으로 인한 해당 주파수의 감쇠 효율이 낮아지는 경향이 발생한다. 결론적으로 음향공을 이용한 제어를 위해서는 유해주파수를 감쇠시킬 수 있는 기하학적 형상을 통한 정확한 동조가 필요하다. 또한, 부피의 제약을 고려한 최적의 효율을 발휘할 수 있는 음향공의 형상 설계와 개수의 선택이 절대적으로 필요함을 입증한다.

The speed of sound, transmission coefficient, and attenuation are measured around the center frequency 1 and 2 MHz in solid materials such as bone, sediment, rubber, and Lucite materials. Common and different characteristics of such materials in the sound speed, transmission coefficient, and attenuation are discussed. Ambiguities in estimating such acoustic characteristics we also addressed. Ultrasonic properties of the first and second kind waves are clarified for different materials. Discussions are concentrated on classes of sound speed, broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA), and correlations of sound speed and BUA with apparent density. New correlations of inverse sound speed square and BUA with apparent density are suggested.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.
