In order to provide a basis data for design of small arms and their silencer, an experimental study on firing noise of small arms was performed around the muzzle of a gun. For this experimental comparison analysis, the target small arms were included most operating small arms in our country. The sound pressure levels were measured at a certain distance which was predetermined according to US army firing test procedure, TOP 3-2-045. By this experimental study, the sound pressure levels of 5.56 mm caliber small arms are 143 dB ~ 145.4 dB and 7.62 mm caliber small arms are 144 dB ~ 145.2 dB. Between the heavy machine gun K12 and M60, the sound pressure level of K12 is slightly lower than M60.Also silencer for K14 snifer rifle was tested. Using this result, it has been found that the reduction effect of the silencer is 15.4 dB but the improvements of silencer performance in the high frequency range have to be studied later on.

This paper summarizes a design procedure of radiated noise from engine blocks of marine engines. This air-borne noise is one of the significant noise contributors including the aeroacoustic noise due to intake and exhaust and the re-radiation due to structure-borne noise. Excitation forces by engine operations are evaluated taking into account the power generation mechanism from the burning process to the subsequence motion of internal parts; piston, connecting rod, and crank shaft. The acoustic transfer vector method is incorporated to effectively simulate the radiated noise field under the various operation conditions. A contribution analysis for the various excitations to the radiated noise is conducted. It is found that the firing pressure is the main source of the radiated noise, and so the structure of the cylinder can be modified to significantly reduce the radiated noise from the engine block.

Engine Noise is composed of the mechanical and combustion noise. The contribution of combustion noise is generally bigger than the contribution of the mechanical noise at idle condition in DI diesel engine. That noise usually makes a roughness problem at the fundamental engine order. It is difficult to remove the modulation frequency so we have to directly reduce the combustion noise. The key effect of combustion noise reducing solution is the modification of the combustion pressure profile. It is accomplished by the multiple injection method and we solved the 400Hz combustion noise and improved the sound quality at idle condition in DI diesel engine.

This paper presents a method for analysis of the mechanical behavior of a crankshaft in a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. The purpose of the analysis was to study the characteristics of the shaft in which the pin and arm parts were assumed to have a uniform section in order to simplify the modal analysis. The results of natural frequency transfer function and mode shape were compared with those obtained by experimental work. The results obtained from the comparison showed a good agreement with each other and consequently verified the analysis model. Furthermore, a prediction of crankshaft characteristics under the firing condition, by using the model, was performed. This study describes a new method for analyzing the dynamic behavior of crankshaft vibrations in the frequency domain based on the initial firing stages. The new method used RMS values to calculate the energy at each bearing journal and counter weight shape modification under the operating conditions.

In this paper, we proposed a new method which analyzes and eliminates errors occurring by multi-reflection of ultrasonic firing in mobile robot application. This new method allows ultrasonic sensors to fire at rates that are three times faster than those customary in conventional applications readings due to ultrasonic noise disturbance. It is possible them to collect and predict sensor data much faster than conventional methods. Furthermore, this method's capability allows mobile robot to navigate in a complex and unknown environment and to collaborate in the same environment with multiple mobile robot, even if their ultrasonic sensors operate. And it's usefulness to avoid moving obstacles by capability of rapid collecting data. Finally, we present experimental results that demonstrate the performances of the new proposed method by experiments in a multi-reflective environment.

Noise control process of an air intake system for a four-cylinder automotive engine is described. The objective of the process is reduction of induction noise without losing engine performance and changing package layout. The theory and feasibility for noise control elements are also discussed. In general, four-cylinder engines generate a lower frequency induction noise around 80-150 Hz (2400-4500 rpm) and firing frequency, valve impact noise are the main sources. In this paper, the most problematic noise source is identified first and better position of air inlet is selected between inside-fender and out-of-fender layouts. Secondly, the possible noise control approach and CAE analysis results are compared to those from speaker excitation tests. Finally, the effect of the controlled intake system after the installation to an automobile is presented.

The intake noise of an automobile induced by firing of an engine accompanies acoustic resonances of ducts of an intake system. Conventionally, the adoption of the Helmholtz type resonator was one of possible ways to eliminate the booming noise due to acoustic resonances of air ducts. Although the Helmholtz type resonator is convenient to attenuate the intake noise of an automobile, the usage of the Helmholtz type resonator requires cost increase or big engine room space. Therefore, reduction of the number of the resonators or the volume of the resonators is essential to increase the value of an automobile. To meet these requirements, other types of resonator are suggested instead of the Helmholtz type resonator. The effectiveness of the suggested resonators is compared considering noise reduction ability, effect to the engine performance and size of each resonator.

This study deals with design and application of silencer to reduce the exhaust noise, especially at the low frequency range below 200 Hz which is main contribution for the bridge wing noise and the external noise of ships. The designed silencer is composed of side branch resonator, Helmholtz resonator and absorbing material. The resonating frequencies of resonators are set to be the firing order frequencies of the generator engine. Based on the on-board measurement result, it is verified that the designed silencer can effectively reduce the exhaust noise of generator engine.

Experimental studies have been carried out to find out the characteristics of the heat transfer, combustion emission and noise in the boilers without any extra firing zone for complete combustion of fuel. For the experiments a burner of premixed type and some heat exchangers were designed and manufactured. Also test facilities including a data acquisition system and various measuring devices were set up in order to measure automatically the various temperatures and flow rates of water and combustion gas. Various experiments were performed to find out the heat transfer characteristics as well as combustion emission and noise. In general, the burner which has uniform holes in the burner nozzle plate generates big combustion noise . whistling. The noise reduction method is discussed in this study. Many experimental data such as noise level, the amount of pollutant emission and heat transfer rate for different combination of heat exchangers are given as comparison bases for numerical studies.

Today, rolling stock has become a fast and convenient mode of transportation and has witnessed increased demand. But the speed improvement has resulted in increased aerodynamic noise and therefore residential districts near the railroad tracks are exposed to ever increasing noise level. A study on methodologies for measuring and appraising rolling stock's environmental noise has therefore become an important area of endeavor. In the case of the environmental noise, there are no changes in tone so prediction can be made by reducing areas around the railway. The present study explores estimation of the noise around the railway using scale model, and the source of the noise has been investigated as well. The scale model of rolling stock will have to be able to measure high frequency noise and it is required to be generated in a short amount of time. Since popping a balloon or firing a gun fits this requirement the present study analyzed the characteristics of these two different noise sources. Measurement was made in a large vacant lot and the reflection due to the ground was also examined. The method proposed here can be used in the future for predicting the environmental noise of railway vehicles.
