The lattice filter formed transfer function has the advantage of computer simulation in the analysis of muffler. The transfer function is derived by using z-transformation for perforated elements in through-flow, cross-flow and reverse-flow type. A computer program for the prediction of the performance of automotive mufflers is developed using the transfer functions for uniform tube, open termination, expansion element, perforated elements, etc. The analytical results are verified by comparing with the experimental results for the transmission loss of a muffer. The effect of geometric configuration change of the muffler was invesigated in order to improve the performance of noise attenuation.

In this paper, stress wave propagation characteristics of MR(Magneto-rheological) inserts are experimentally investigated. Generally, stress waves of structures such as warships or submarines are induced by shock waves from underwater explosion. Their fatal effects on the shipboard equipments or structures damage the performance of warships. But, such a problem can be solved by controlling the stress waves propagating through structures by means of MR inserts. MR insert consists of two aluminum layers and MR fluid filled in between. Two piezoceramic disks are embedded on the host plate as a transmitter and a receiver of stress waves. Pulse waves are generated by the transmitter and they reach to the receiver through the MR insert. Permanent magnet and magnetic coil are used to produce magnetic field at the MR insert. In the presence of magnetic field, MR particles are arranged in chains parallel to the magnetic field such that the transmitted stress waves are reduced. Attenuation of stress waves is experimentally investigated.

Power line communication, using 25[kV] high voltage of railway catenary, is to provide information which is real-time safety information for train operations and train workers in driving. Lots of noise were occupied in the contact wire by electrical and communication equipments. A signal attenuation was caused characteristics of the contact wire and messenger wire. For relaying communications to transmit information using the contact wire, catenary the noise and signal attenuation were investigated. And the final goal of the study was realized to transmit video information by power line communication on electric railway.

The purpose of this study is to identify the dynamic characteristics of a motor-die in washing machine and provide quantitative design information needed for reduction of radiated sound from the motor-die. To perform the design analysis, dynamic characteristics are identified by motor-die modeling and the availability of model is verified by experimental modal analysis. Numerical approach using MSC/NASTRAN and SYSNOISE predicted sound attenuation effects according to the change of design parameters, such as thickness, concentrated mass and rib. The numerical results due to the rib attachment showed the significant noise attenuation effects over 15 dB in the frequency range of 450∼700 Hz.

In this paper, a circular lined-duct is modeled by using an axisymmetric foam finite element, which is based on elastic porous material theory of Biot. For various thicknesses of three kinds of lining materials, finite element predictions are compared with measurement results and Morse's analytical results. While the analytical model has larger error as the lining becomes thicker, results of the present model have a good agreement with experimental results for all the thicknesses considered here. It has also been found that constraining the axial motion on the circumferential surface of the lining enhances sound attenuation at low freqneucies.

The paper presents a theoretical analysis on the propagation characteristics of the high-frequency wave in an elastic waveguide whose diameter is less than or similar to the wavelength. The theoretical results were verified by comparing them with the numerical results obtained by the boundary-element method. The ratio of the waveguide diameter to the wavelength affects the number of the existing wavenumber, and thus it affects the propagation characteristics. In the media with attenuation, the trend is similar to that in the media without attenuation except the decreasing amplitude.

This paper presents active noise control for the reduction of transmission noise passing through opening of enclosures. Enclosures are essential measure to protect noise propagation from operating machinery. Access openings of the enclosures are important path of noise leakage. First, we modeled and analyzed the noise characteristics passing through the openings of the enclosure generated by the operation of the machinery based on the finite element method. We then implemented a feedforward controller to actively control the acoustic power through the opening. Finally, we conducted optimization of placement of the reference sensors for several cases of the number of sensors. A good control performances were achieved using a minimum number of microphones arranged a optimal placement.

This research presents a laboratory study about an annoyance of impulsive sound caused by construction site(breaker and blasting). The sources are sampled from outdoor noise and their levels range from 40 to 75 dB at the interval of 5dB. The noise unit is based on A-weighted sound exposure level (ASEL; $L_{AE}$). To make equal ASEL of outdoor noise, finite impulse response (FIR) filter is applied to the originally sampled source to include the effect of distance attenuation. The evaluation method of jury test adopted a Semantic Difference Method (SDM). In the result of the Jury test for impulsive noise, the annoyance response of blasting noise was higher than that of breaker noise.

In this paper, active noise barriers for attenuation of road noise are proposed. multi-channel audio systems, DAQ part and high performance DSP H/W were designed. Active noise control firmware programs were implemented for multi-channel off-line/on-line estimation methods for secondary path transfer functions and FIR/IIR filter structure are used main noise control algorithms. To evaluate performance of proposed systems, the experiments were performed in an active noise barrier test bed for various noise cases.

Recently, the electronic circuit with microprocessor based control system instead of conventional analog circuit is widely used for rolling stock, and also these circuits are widely adopted for train control and monitoring in modem rapid transit system. Noise, distortion and attenuation are always present in electronic equipments and strictly limit performance. The purpose of this paper is to propose noise reduction technology for electronic equipments in rolling stock.
