Dynamic excitation and response analysis is an acceptable method to determine some of physical properties of agricultural product for quality evaluation. There is a difference in the internal viscoelasticity between sound and defective fruits due to the difference of geometric structures, thereby showing different vibration characteristics. This study was carried out to develop a portable piezoelectric film-based glove sensor system that can separate internally damaged watermelons from sound ones using an acoustic impulse response technique. Two piezoelectric sensors based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films to measure an impact force and vibration response were separately mounted on each glove. Various signal parameters including number of peaks, energy ratio, standard deviation of peak to peak distance, zero-crossing rate, and integral value of peaks were examined to develop a regression-estimated model. When using SMLR (Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression) analysis in SAS, three parameters, i.e., zeros value, number of peaks, and standard deviation of peaks were selected as usable factors with a coefficient of determination ($r^2$) of 0.92 and a standard error of calibration (SEC) of 0.15. In the validation tests using twenty watermelon samples (sound 9, defective 11), the developed model provided good capability showing a classification accuracy of 95%.

This study was conducted to evaluate changes in the flavor patterns of gamma irradiated raw oyster and oyster cooking drip using an electronic nose, which consisted of a GC equipped with a surface acoustic wave sensor. The raw oyster was irradiated with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kGy, while the oyster cooking drip was irradiated with 10 and 50 kGy. In the case of raw oyster, the intensities of peaks at retention times (RT) of 2.1 sand 6.8 s were increased, but the peak at a RT of 9.0 s was decreased depending on irradiation dose. In the case of oyster cooking drip, the intensities of peaks at RT 2.5 sand RT 4.1 s increased linearly, but at the peak at RT 5.1 s decreased as the irradiation dose increased. The total amount of flavor components measured in raw oyster increased, while that of oyster cooking drip decreased in response to irradiation.

Acoustic experiments were performed with Zostera marina to study the characteristics of backscattering of seagrass living in the bottom interface. Field experiments were conducted in the Dongdae man, Namhae for day and night to consider the effects of air-bubble from photosynthesis of seagrass. The multi-frequency (30$\~$120 kHz) responses were measured and the distributions of back scattering strength due to the movement of seagrass were Presented by PDF (probability density function) at 120 120 kHz. The results were shown both the frequency dependence and diurnal variation of the backscattering strength between day and night. This diurnal variation may be caused by the amount of oxygen in dissolved bubbles formed by Photosynthesis of seagrass.

Passive sonar system forms the various beams in any desired directions to obtain the improvement in Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio, bearing detection and localization of targets, and the attenuation of interferences from other directions. The improvement of beamforming is very important to detect modern underwater targets as noise reduction technology leads to considerably low-level acoustic emissions in the long range in complex environmental sea. In this paper, we proposed the spatial cross correlation beamforming (SCCBF) algorithm using cross correlation matrix of individual hydrophone pairs of linear array sensors. By the theoretical analysis and simulation, the proposed SCCBF is demonstrated that its performances compared to conventional beamforming (CBF) output can be obtain above 3dB of array gain and about half of beam width represented the bearing accuracy in target detection. Also, this paper presents sea test result of linear passive sonar system that the proposed algorithm implemented.

본 연구에서는 도플러 방식 초음파유속계(ADVM, Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter) 및 이동시간차방식 초음파유속계(UVM, Ultrasonic Velocity Meter)의 유량자료 검증을 위해 두 가지 방식이 적용된 한강대교와 여주대교의 2007년 운영성과를 검토하고 측정된 결과분석을 통해 자동유량측정시설의 유량측정자료를 검증하였다. 측정된 유량의 검증을 위해 평 저수시 유속계 측정 및 이동 ADCP법에 의한 연속 유량측정결과와 비교하였으며, 또한 봉부자를 이용한 측정결과와의 비교를 통해 홍수시 측정결과를 검토하였다. 또한 댐방류량, 하수처리장 방류량, 각종 취수량을 이용한 물수지 분석을 통해 자동유량측정에 의해 산정된 유출량과 비교하였다. ADVM 방식이 적용된 한강대교의 조위영향에 따른 수위변화를 고려하여 한 주기에 대한 측정을 수행하여 이를 비교한 결과, 흐름이 정체되는 일부구간의 측정결과를 제외하면 대부분 상대오차가 10% 내외가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 월별 물수지 분석을 수행한 결과, 설치초기 시스템 안정화작업으로 인해 결측이 많이 발생한 $3{\sim}4$월을 제외하면 10%내외의 오차가 발생하였으며, 홍수기인 $6{\sim}7$월 사이에는 $1.9{\sim}5.5%$의 상대오차를 보여 자동유량측정시설의 측정결과가 매우 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 여주대교의 UVM 방식의 경우 측정장비의 안정화가 이루어진 5월부터 9월까지의 측정결과는 수위유량관계곡선으로 산정된 유량과 비교하였을 때 10%내외의 상대오차를 보인 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 월별 물수지 분석결과에서도 결측이 많이 발생한 5월의 23.7%의 오차를 제외하면, $5{\sim}10%$내의 오차를 보인 것으로 나타났으며 홍수기인 $6{\sim}8$월의 경우 5%이내의 오차가 발생한 것으로 나타났다.

This thesis deals a method to deliver more realistic sound by cancelling the cross-talk which is inherent to the 5.1 channel speaker system. The acoustical model for cross-talk cancellation is the free field model. This model minimizes distortion of sound. I used the bark scale sound quality compensation which based on psycho-acoustic. For the surround channels, band-limited sound quality compensation is performed in the frequency domain. I also performed the sound quality assessment test on the traditional 2 channel stereo and 5.1 channel system. This test is performed in the test chamber which satisfies the ITU-R specifications. I uses the IACC (Inter-Aural Cross-Correlation) to determine the preferences of the amateur and the golden ear experts to asses the trans-aural filter. According to the result from the proposed method, I got more the 38 dB separation rates with the Dolby standard speaker array. The results on the diffusion by the subjective test with the experts shows 0.4 point increased then before.

Results of the numerical simulation and experimental data analysis for identification of mode cutoff frequency and estimation of sound speed of seabed from the spectrum of acoustic signal received at fixed source-receiver range are presented. Model simulations for Pekeris waveguide show that the frequency-dependent propagation loss and interference pattern are closely related to mode cutoff frequencies and it could be possible to the identify them from the changes of interference pattern. The concept considered at numerical simulations is applied to signals acquired at sea test. Cutoff frequency and sound speed of seabed are estimated from the interference pattern of measured signal. Propagation loss predicted using the estimated sound speed of seabed as model input parameter shows similar estimation result compared to propagation loss derived from measured data.

A short-range underwater target detection and identification techniques using mid- and high-frequency bands have been highly developed. However, nowadays the long-range detection using the low-frequency band is requested and one of the most challengeable issues. The waveform inversion technique is widely used and the hottest technology in both academia and industry of the seismic exploration. It is based on the numerical analysis tool, and could construct more than a few kilometers of the subsurface structures and model-parameters such as P-wave velocity using a low-frequency band. By applying this technique to the underwater acoustic circumstance, firstly application of underwater target detection is verified. Furthermore, subsurface structures and it's parameters of the war-field are well reconstructed. We can confirm that this technique greatly reduces the false-alarm rate for the underwater targets because it could accurately reproduce both the shape and the model-parameters at the same time.

Motor noise is a major concern in order to improve perceptual feeling of car interior sound due to increased motor usage in passenger cars. The purpose of this study is to propose factors that can represent the acoustic performance of motor noise according to the change of load. To this end, at first, it is shown that power spectrum and total loudness are not fit for noise performance, and then, PN_B, partial loudness related to the brush friction component, and PN_R, partial loudness related to the torque ripple component are investigated as factors representing motor noise. The performance curve of motor noise using PN_B and PN_R is proposed to identify trends of motor noise according to the loads. The curve could be a guide for the noise control, the selection of motor, and the improvement of a system.
