A 3D FEM (Finite Element Method) based Helmholtz solver has been commonly used to characterize fundamental acoustic behavior and investigate dynamic instability features in many combustion systems. In this approach, a geometrical simplification of the target system has been generally made in order to reduce computational time and cost because a real combustor and fuel nozzle have a very complicated flow passage. The feasibility of these simplifications is quantitatively investigated in a small aero gas turbine nozzle in term of acoustic characteristics. It is found that the simplification in a nozzle geometry during the 3D FEM analysis process has no great influence on the acoustic modeling results, while the calculation complexity can be improved for a similar modeling accuracy.

In this paper, theoretical acoustic sensitivity was derived to describe acousto-optic transduction property of the mandrel type fiber optic acoustic sensor with respect to external acoustic field. The acoustic sensitivity was analyzed in relation to both material properties and geometrical influence factors of the constitutional parts of the sensor, analytically. Validity of the theoretical results were verified through comparison with the finite element analysis results. The variation trends of the sensitivity of the sensor in relation to the studied parameters showed good agreement for the two analysis methods. According to the results, it is considered more economical to design the basic structure of the sensor with the analytic equations developed in this paper, and then to carry out further detailed analysis with the finite element method for specific points of design interest.

In this work, the hybrid vibro-acoustic model reduction technique that is a physical-modal combined formulation is proposed to accelerate the finite element model updating process of the vibro-acoustic pipeline system. Particularly, the new formulation could provide an effective way of the model updating by preserving the physical DOFs for the direct calibration of the undetermined boundary conditions. The sensitivity based vibro-acoustic model updating is first conducted, and then the undetermined spring constant at the displacement boundary condition is then directly and effectively calibrated by using the proposed hybrid model reduction formulation. The proposed method is implemented in the real nuclear facility to evaluate its performance. In addition, an experimental implementation test using the inverse force identification process is also conducted to demonstrate the reliability of the generated vibro-acoustic FE model through the proposed method.

A direct boundary element method(DBEM) is widely applied for various acoustic wave problems. But this method has numerically non-unique solutions around the eigenfrequencies of the interior Dirichlet problem for the region enveloped with the acoustic boundary. A CHIEF method had been generally adopted to resolve the non-uniqueness problem and a new technique called ICA-Ring method has been suggested recently. In this paper, the characteristics of two techniques for avoiding the non-uniqueness of DBEM are examined and numerical codes embodying both techniques are developed. Numerical calculations are also carried out for an uniformly pulsating sphere, of which the results are investigated by including the comparisons with theoretical solutions.

To investigate the heavy-weight impact noise of apartment houses, numerical analysis was performed. The analysis acoustic pressure consider acoustic mode by finite element method. The variables considered effecting on the acoustic pressure are the Acoustic mode, acoustic damping, and the impulse load. The heavy-weight impact noise is a changeable value in the room. Since the most part of the frequency component of heavy-weight impact noise has low frequency. The noise in low frequency is related to the vibration of structure, the reflection of acoustic wave caused by wall and the standing wave called by acoustic mode. The prediction by the numerical analysis was verified with test result of the heavy weight-impact noise at apartment houses.

The noise induced hearing loss, which is one type of the hearing losses, is well known occupational diseases. The prevention of the noise induced hearing loss is very important, because it is unrecoverable. There are some kinds of devices for hearing protection, and those are effective in preventing the noise induced hearing loss. However, people often resist the use of hearing protection devices because they have some difficulties during conversation in wearing the devices. To solve the problem, a small acoustic filter can be used for a hearing protection device. In this paper, we designed several kinds of small acoustic filters and analyzed the characteristics of designed small acoustic filters using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). From FEA results, we proved the characteristics of designed small acoustic filters which vary according to length and diameter. And we found out that the general tendencies of modeled filters using FEA are same as acoustic experiment results of designed filters.

For evaluating the feasibility of treating recurrent lesions in the vaginal cuff and cervix by hyperthermia, ultrasound applicators were designed, constructed, and characterized. For the treatment A half-cylindrical transducer Cd=1cm, length=lcm) and cylindrical transducer (d=2.5cm, length= 1.5cm) were used to construct ovoid type and cylindrical applicators. For the ovoid type applicator, each element was operated at 1.5MHz and characterized by measuring transducer efficiency and acoustic power distribution. Thermocouple probes were used to measure the temperature rise in phantom. The element sizes used in this study were selected to be comparable for high dose rate brachytherapy colpostat applicator. Each element was powered separately to achieve a desired temperature pattern in a target. The acoustic output power as a function of applied electric power of the element 1 and 2 was linear over this 1 to 40 W range and efficiencies were 32.2${\pm}$3.4% and 46.2${\pm}$0.8%, respectively. The temperature measurements in phantom showed that 6$^{\circ}C$ temperature rise was achieved at 2 cm from the applicator surface. As a conclusion, the ability of the ultrasound colpostat applicator to be used for hyperthermia was demonstrated by measuring acoustic output power, ultrasound field distribution, and temperature rise in phantom. Based on the characteristics of this applicator, it has the potential to be useful for inducing hyperthermnia to the vaginal cuff in clinic.

This is the first of two companion papers which suggests the algorithm of the combined Finite Element Method and Infinite Element Method for the analysis of the axi-symmetric acoustic transducer in the open boundary. Using the algorithm, the numerical analysis for the transducer radiation impedance, directivity, and coupling effect between transducer elements are also conducted. In the second paper, the wideband array transducer is designed and its acoustic characteristics are examined on the basis of the results of the first paper.

This paper shows the effect of mean flow in duct. The potential equation of duct with mean flow is obtained. A finite element method(FEM) is used to predict acoustic performance of duct with mean flow. The formulation of the finite element method is derived for duct taking into consideration of the convective effect of mean flow. A simple duct, simple expansion chamber and a duct with resonator are implemented to show the effects of the mean flow.
