  • When a vortex diffracts upon encountering a vortex, many strong and weak waves are produced in the course of interaction. They are the cause of shock wave attenuation and noise production. This phenomenon is fundamental to understanding the more complex supersonic turbulent Jet noise. In this paper we have reviewed the research on shock-vortex interaction we have carried on last seven years. We have computationally investigated the parameter effect. When a shock is strong, shock diffraction pattern becomes complex since the slip lines from the triple points on Mach stem curl into the vortex, causing an entropy layer. When the vortex is unstable, vortexlets are brought about each of which make shock diffraction of a reduced intensity. Strong vortex produces quadrupole noise as it impinges into a vortex. Elementary interaction models such as shock splitting, shock reflection, and shock penetration are presented based on shock tube experiment. These models are also verified by computational approach. They easily explain production and propagation of the aforementioned quadrupole noise, Diverging acoustics are explained in terms of shock-vortexlet interactions for which a computational model Is constructed.

  • To mitigate excessive noise from highways, and high speed rail road, it is often necessary to construct a noise barrier. Absorptive barroer attenuation solution is obtained for the problem of diffration of a plane wave sound source by a semi-infinite plane. A finite region in the vicinity of the edge has an highly absorbing boundary condition ; the remaining portion of the half plane is rigid. The problem which is solved is a mathematical model for a hard barrier with an absorbing edge. If the wavelength of the sound is much smaller than the length scale associated with the barrier, the diffraction process is governed to all intents and purpose by the solution to a standard problem of diffraction by a semi-infinite hard plane with an absorbent edge. It is concluded that the absorbing material that comprises the edge need only be of the order of a wavelength long to have approximately the same effect, on the sound attenuation in the shadow side of the barrier. Traffic noise is composed of thousands of sources with varying frequency content. To simplify noise predictions when barriers are present, an effective frequency of 550Hz may be used to represent all vehicles. The wavelength of sound at f=550Hz for traffic noise is about 2 feet. According to the above conclusion, an absorptive highway noise barrier is only needed to cover to cover approximately a 2 foot length of absorbing material. It would be more economical to cover only the region in the immediate vicinity of the edge with highly sound obsorbent material.

  • There are many factors to degrade the performance of power-line communication systems such as multi-path fading, attenuation, colored and impulsive noise, and interference. Most of all, impulsive noise is generated by switching operation of many power supply units and equipments, and it causes both burst error and random error as the pattern of generation. In this paper, the variations of performance for RS convolutional concatenated coded system are simulated and analysed with the several parameters over impulsive noise channel.

  • B.P.F.(Blade Passing Frequency) levels were measured with the cut-off clearance changes. The velocity inside the scroll, pressure fluctuation at cut-off region, and the scroll surface pressure distribution along the scroll from the cut-off to outlet were measured. With a certain cut-off clearance the improvement of efficiency and attenuation of B.P.F. noise level could be achieved. The measured results of pressure fluctuation and scroll surface pressure distribution showed that the secondary flow inside the scroll increased B.P.F. noise level at the cut-off region as the cut-off clearance got wide.

  • This paper presents hybrid active noise control (HANC) systems which is based on the combination of feedforward and feedback ANC controllers. HANC systems use FIR filters and is based on primary noise regeneration principle and filtered-X LMS algorithms. HANC systems show better attenuation characteristics and residual spectrum. The order of adaptive filters used in HANC systems is lower than that of conventional feedforward and feedback ANC systems. A proposed HANC algorithm was implemented using a Taxas Instruments TMS320C31 digital signal processor for experimental verification.

  • Experiments and simulation were done to study the impact of contrast agent when CT scan was used to attenuation correction for PET Images in PET/CT system. Whole body phantom was imaged with various concentration of iodine-based contrast agent using CT. Mathematical emission and transmission density map with liver were made to simulate for whole body FDG Imaging. A variety of factors were estimated, including non-uniform enhancement of contrast agent, concentration and distribution size of contrast agent, noise level, image resolution, reconstruction algorithm, hypo-attenuation of contrast agent, and different time phases for contrast agent. Experimental studies showed that Hounsfield unit depends on the concentration of contrast agent and tube voltage. From the simulation data, contrast agents Introduced artifacts and degraded image quality on the attenuation-corrected PET images. The severity of these effects depends on a variety of factors, including the concentration and distribution size of contrast agent, the noise levels, and the Image resolution. These results Indicated that the impact of contrast agents should be considered with a full understanding of their potential problems in clinical PET/CT images.

  • The increase of road traffic niose in residential area has been considered to be a serious environmental problem to deteriorate a living condition. The understanding of noise environment in multiple family housing is needed for noise reduction. This study attempts to find out the characteristics of noise environment. For this purpose, the field survey has been carried out to investigate the noise environment(sound level, quality of sound) and the residents' responses(noiseness, annoyance) for noise environment based on 173 households living in 3 apartment compounds built in Pusan according to site location. The major findings are as follows : 1. The sound levels by road traffic noise were measured by dB(A) and dB(Lin). The sound levels were : 77.0dB(A), 86.6dB(Lin) in D-Apt, 73.3dB(A), 82.6dB(Lin) in K-Apt, and 59.1dB(A), 74.6dB(Lin) in M-Apt. Especially, the difference between dB(A) and dB(Lin) was very big in the cae of M-Apt with a barriers for traffic noise reduction. 2. The internal sound levels were shown the soudn attenuation by horizontal distance and by opening or shuting condition of windows.

  • This paper describes a low-power, SNDR (signal-to-noise and distortion ration) enhanced SAR (successive approximation register) type 12b ADC (analog-to-digital converter) with noise shaping technique. For low power consumption and small chip size of the DAC (digital-to-analog converter), the top plate sampling technique and the dummy capacitor switching technique are used to implement 12b operation with a 10b capacitor array in DAC. Noise shaping technique is applied to improve the SNDR by reducing the errors from the mismatching of DAC capacitor arrays, the errors caused by attenuation capacitor and the errors from the comparator noise. The proposed SAR ADC is designed with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the SNDR of the SAR ADC without the noise shaping technique is 71 dB and that of the SAR ADC with the noise shaping technique is 84 dB. We can achieve the 13 dB improvement in SNDR with this noise shaping technique. The power consumption is $73.8{\mu}W$ and the FoM (figure-of-merit) is 5.2fJ/conversion-step.

  • This paper suggests the 2 D.O.F mathematical model of the High Frequency Vibro-Hammer (HFVH), introduces an experimental method for measuring of the attenuation of piling vibration and proves what experiments are coincident with the equation of wave propagation. As vibratory installation of piles and casings has many economic merits in the construction field, most of all contractors prefer to vibratory pile driving method than the other. Compared to impact pile driving, vibratory installation has the advantage of reducing vibration or noise pollution and can drive piles under high frequency. Experiments serve estimations of capabilities and limitations of the HFVH's excitation force and finding of sensitivity for important soil resistance parameters. Also, we discuss the HFVH that can drive with three kinds of input waves (triangular, sine and square wave) and propose the design of parameters to improve actuating performance in it.
