Periodic and quasi-periodic Timoshenko beams on Pasternak foundation are investigated using the differential quadrature method. Not only band gaps in the beams but also the dynamic response of them is analyzed. Numerical results show that vibration in periodic beams can be dramatically attenuated when the exciting frequency falls into band gaps. Different from the band structures of periodic beams without foundation, the so-called critical frequency was found because of the Pasternak foundation. Its physical meaning was explained in detail and a useful formula was given to calculate the critical frequency. Additionally, a comprehensive parameter study is conducted to highlight the influence of foundation modulus on the band gaps.

When the high-speed train running on the track, there is a speed band which track distortion is unusually increased according to the condition of track and roadbed. This speed is called critical velocity and physical parameter value increased greatly. These phenomenon happened as high-speed train were developed, studied regularly through TGV 100 running test in France. As research result until now, the main reason is soft roadbed's capacity. Wave propagation and track support capacity is varied by the site characteristics. This paper achieved theoretical examination about resonance band(speed and frequency) that occurred in roadbed on the base rock in point of geotechnical engineering. The examination of resonance divides with ground response analysis, critical band analysis by the shear wave velocity of roadbed, train critical speed through the ground stratum.

The available underwater acoustic spectrum is limited. Therefore, it is imperative to avoid frequency interference from overlapping frequencies of underwater acoustic equipment (UAE) for the co-existence of the UAE. Cognitive technology that senses idle spectrum and actively avoids frequency interference is an efficient method to facilitate the collision-free operation of multiple UAE with overlapping frequencies. Cognitive technology is adopted to identify the frequency usage of UAE to apply cognitive technology. To this end, we investigated two principle underwater acoustic sources: UAE and marine animals. The UAE is classified into five types: underwater acoustic modem, acoustic positioning system, multi-beam echo-sounder, side-scan sonar, and sub-bottom profiler. We analyzed the parameters of the frequency band, directivity, range, and depth, which play a critical role in the design of underwater acoustic cognitive technology. Moreover, the frequency band of several marine species was also examined. The mid-frequency band from 10 - 40 kHz was found to be the busiest. Lastly, this study provides useful insights into the design of underwater acoustic cognitive technologies, where it is essential to avoid interference among the UAE in this mid-frequency band.

The ground acceleration measured at a point on the earth's surface is composed of several waves that have different phase velocities, arrival times, amplitudes, and frequency contents. For instance, body waves contain primary and secondary waves that have high frequency content and reach the site first. Surface waves are composed of Rayleigh and Love waves that have lower phase velocity, lower frequency content and reach the site next. Some of these waves could be of more damage to the structure depending on their frequency content and associated amplitude. This paper models critical earthquake loads for single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) inelastic structures considering evolution of the seismic waves in time and frequency. The ground acceleration is represented as combination of seismic waves with different characteristics. Each seismic wave represents the energy of the ground motion in certain frequency band and time interval. The amplitudes and phase angles of these waves are optimized to produce the highest damage in the structure subject to explicit constraints on the energy and the peak ground acceleration and implicit constraints on the frequency content and the arrival time of the seismic waves. The material nonlinearity is modeled using bilinear inelastic law. The study explores also the influence of the properties of the seismic waves on the energy demand and damage state of the structure. Numerical illustrations on modeling critical earthquake excitations for one-storey inelastic frame structures are provided.

The trends of recent passenger ships are becoming speedy and luxury style to enhance comfortableness in cabin. In order to meet these trend, ship designer has to improve the sound quality as well as to reduce the sound pressure level in cabins. In this paper, the trend of noise and sound quality of real high-speed coastal passenger ships are measured and analyzed, while running on their regular courses. The sound quality parameters such as loudness, roughness, fluctuation strength, and sharpness are evaluated by Zwicker loudness calculation. In addition, we try to find sensitive critical frequency band for the improving sound quality by using signal editing. Finally, the expected effective design methods are proposed to designer for the improving sound quality of passenger ships.

본 논문에서는 노인성 난청으로 인한 청력도 감쇄를 보상하는 고주파 증폭 회로를 제안한다. 노인성 난청은 고음역(고주파 대역)의 청력도가 저음역(저주파대역)에 비해 더 떨어지는 저주파 통과 필터의 특성을 보이므로, 보상회로는 임계주파수 이상의 대역에서는 주파수에 비례하여 신호를 증폭하고 임계주파수 이하에서는 증폭도를 일정하게 유지하는 구조이다. 제안된 고주파 회로는 미분기, 단위 이득 증폭기로 구성된다. 임계주파수는 볼륨 조절 레버 형태로 간단하게 제어가 가능한 구조로 노인들이 자신의 난청정도에 따라 쉽게 증폭도를 조절할 수 있다. 고주파 증폭회로의 임계주파수는 가청주파수 전 대역에서 연속적으로 조절 가능하고, 10 kHz 음역의 신호는 80dB 이상 증폭도를 가진다.

We report the detailed design of an unprecedented wideband(band7+8) corrugated feed horn in ASTE focal plane array aiming for future ALMA receiver. We have found that such design constraints as return loss, cross-polarization level, beam width and phase curvature can be controlled by optimizing critical corrugation parameters at the throat and flare region of the horn. The success of optimization manifest itself through simulated aperture effciency over 80 % at the entire frequency range. Physical implications of the resulting corrugation parameters are discussed.

본 논문에서는 현재 음성 인식에서 널리 사용되고 있는 멜켑스트럼의 성능 향상 방안을 제안한다. 일반적으로 멜켑스트럼은 인접한 필터간의 중심 간격과 필터의 대역폭이 일정한 critical band 필터들을 사용하여 구한다. 그러나 필터의 특성에 따라 멜켑스트럼의 값들이 달라지게 되고, 이에 따라 인식 성능도 변하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 삼각형과 사각형 모양의 critical band 필터를 사용하여 인접한 필터간의 중심 간격과 필터의 대역폭을 각각 변화시키면서 멜켑스트럼을 구하고 이에 따른 인식 성능을 분석한다. 또한 최적화 알고리즘인 simplex 방법을 사용하여 필터의 중심 주파수와 대역폭을 각각 변화시키면서 최적의 성능을 나타내는 필터를 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 인식 알고리즘으로 DTW (dynamic time warping)를 사용하고, 남자 10명과 여자 10명이 발음한 한국어 숫자음을 인식 대상으로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 사각형 모양의 필터가 삼각형 모양의 필터 보다 우수한 성능을 보여 주었고 제안된 방법으로 최적화된 필터를 사용하여 구한 멜켑스트럼은 기존의 critical band 필터를 사용하는 것보다 향상된 인식 성능을 나타내었다.

The dielectric properties and various pattern-forming states of dual-frequency material in a nematic phase, as well as its mixture containing low concentrations of reactive monomers, are reported. The dielectric relaxation behaviors of nematic MLC 2048 are presented and compared to its mixture containing both mesogenic and nonmesogenic reactive monomers. The sign-inversion frequency of the dielectric anisotropy was significantly shifted on the addition of small amounts of the reactive monomers. However, all three mixtures used in this study essentially exhibited the same field-induced instabilities at different frequencies and voltage domains of the applied electric field. A broad band of modulated states were found to exist above a critical voltage and within a voltage dependent frequency band in the vicinity of the sign-inversion frequency, $f_I$, of the dielectric anisotropy. As the $f_I$ of the mixtures shifted, so did the bands of the modulated state of the different mixtures and the temperatures, which were well matched with the measured $f_I$ value.
