The noise generated from a treadband mechanism of a tire has been the subject of this research. In particular, the treadband has been treated as an infinite tensioned beam resting on an elastic foundation which includes damping. The main objective is here to predict the sound power generated from a system mentioned above by locating harmonic point forces representing the excitation of treadband at the contact patch. It is possible to predict the sound power radiated from this structure by wavenumber transformation techniques. To find out the minimum radiated sound power, All parameters were varied. Thus this model can be used as a tire design guide for selecting parameters which produce the minimum noise radiation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic characteristics of crying infants according to the communication intents such as hunger and pain in terms of acoustic differences in the fundamental frequency ($F_0$), jitter, shimmer, noise-to-harmonic ratio(NHR), habitual pitch, and intensity. The subjects were 20 healthy, normal infants, less than seven days old, from the city of Seoul and were born after 38 to 42 weeks(full term) of pregnancy. The sound of crying was recorded for three minutes. The crying due to pain was induced by means of the inborn metabolism error test, whereas the crying due to hunger was verified by means of the rooting reflex by waiting for the designated eating time. The results were as follows: (1) the fundamental frequency, noise-to-harmonic ratio(NHR), and intensity of the infants' crying due to pain was higher than that by hunger, showing a significant difference between the mean values. (2) the infants' crying due to hunger and that by pain did not have a significant difference in the mean jitter and shimmer values but both of them were largely outside of the normal threshold values(jitter by 1.04% and shimmer by 3.81%). This study was significant in the sense that it showed the acoustic characteristics of infants' crying from hunger and pain were very different from each other according to the communication intents in terms of the six acoustic parameters.

Background and Objectives This study was to investigate the voice quality and articulation effects of laryngeal massage on muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). Materials and Method A systematic review of articles published between January 2000 and December 2020 in Cochrane, PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpingerLink, ERIC, and Naver Academic was conducted. From the total of 2094 articles identified, 10 peer-reviewed articles were included in a meta-analysis. Mean effect sizes of the variables related to voice quality (jitter, shimmer, harmonic to noise ratio or noise to harmonic ratio, high-F0, low-I, cepstral peak prominence) and articulation (F1, F2, F1 slope, F2 slope) were calculated by Hedges'g. Results Meta-analysis of the selected articles showed that laryngeal massage had medium to large effects on all variables of voice quality and articulation except F0-high and F1 slope in the MTD patients. Conclusion This study provided comprehensive clinical evidence that it is highly desirable to apply laryngeal massage to MTD patients.

The flying height of contact slider is determined by vertical and pitching motions of slider. This paper performed the computer simulation for flying height change of contact slider. It is changed by many parameters, contact stiffness, contact damping, air bearing stiffness ratio, a location of mass center, and so on. Computer simulation is performed for knowing for what change of these parameters influences in flying height of contact slider. Disk surface is modeled in harmonic wave with from 10㎑ to 600㎑. Tri-pad slider is modeled in that contact slider has 2-DOF motion (vertical motion, pitching motion). Tri-pad contact slider is analyzed by numerical analysis method in computer simulation.

To provide model parameters for servo control system design, dynamic characteristics of a piezoelectric microactuator for hard disk drive(HDD) were investigated. At first frequency response characteristics was measured and a second order model was proposed. Here the amplitude dependent dynamic characteristics such as low frequency gain and damping ratio were studied. In addition, the load current and equivalent impedance of the piezoelectric actuator were measured by varying excitation voltage and frequency. At last, the super-harmonic resonance of the piezoelectric actuator was discussed.

대전·충남지역 20-30대 여성 언어재활사 50명을 대상으로 주관적 음성 피로도 설문과 더불어 하루 4회기를 기준으로 언어치료 전/후 음성 샘플 수집을 하였다. 연구 결과, Korean Vocal Fatigue Index의 음성 피로로 인한 음성 사용회피 항목과 음성 사용으로 인한 신체 피로 항목에서 피로 집단과 피로 없는 집단 간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 두 집단의 음향음성학적 특성과 관련하여, 두 집단 모두 치료 후 저주파 대역 에너지가 상대적으로 낮아지고 고주파 대역 에너지가 상승하는 패턴을 보였다. 이러한 특징이 분산분석 결과, 주 효과로 나타난 low to high-ratio[t1(time.1)>t2(time.2)], slope_ltas(t2>t1), 3rd formant's energy(t1>t2), high energy(t2>t1) 등에 잘 반영되어 있다. 집단 간 차이는 음향변수들 중 치료 전 모음 연장발성 스펙트럼 저주파 대역의 에너지인 low energy에서만 관찰되었고 피로 없는 집단의 값이 더 컸다(no.fatigue>fatigue in t1). 음향변수에서의 이러한 특징과 더불어 치료 세션 후 피로 없는 집단의 연결발화에서의 왜도 증가는 장시간의 목소리 노동으로 인한 성대 과긴장(higher muscle tonus)과 목소리 남용 때문으로 해석할 수 있다. 섭동변수 shimmer_local은 피로 없는 집단이 언어치료 후 낮아졌고(t1>t2), 켑스트럼 변수인 RNR(rhamonics to noise ratio)은 언어치료 후 값이 높아졌다(t2>t1). NHR(noise to harmonic ratio)은 두 집단 모두 치료 후 낮아졌다. NHR의 감소와 shimmer_local의 하강은 치료 세션을 진행하면서 발성 과정이 안정화되었거나 혹은 전문 지식이 있는 언어재활사(특히 피로 없는 집단)들의 효율적 목소리 사용이 기여했다고 결론지을 수 있다. 피로 없는 집단의 경우는 치료 후에 RNR값이 유의하게 커졌으므로 치료 후 오히려 조화음(harmonic) 구조가 더 안정되었다고도 말할 수 있을 것이다.

LCVA has an advantage that its natural frequency can be easily controlled by changing the area ratio of the vertical column and horizontal part. The previous studies investigated the dynamic characteristics of the LCVA under harmonic load. This study experimentally obtained the first and second mode natural frequencies of the LCVA from shaking table tests using white noise and compared the values with the ones by previous study. Test results show that the measured first mode natural frequency of the LCVA is larger than the calculated one when the area ratio is larger than 1. The second mode frequency increases with the increasing area ratio, which is due to the sloshing motion effect resulting from the large area of the vertical column.

The WCHF-FSJTC (wavelet circular harmonic function frequency selective joint transform correlator) using th wavelet transformed CHF as the reference image in FSJTC is proposed for rotation invariant pattern recognition. Since the wavelet transform has the property of feature extraction, the proposed system can have the better DC (discrimination cpability) and the higher SNR(signal to noise ratio) compared with the conventional CHF-CJTC(circular harmonic function conventional joint transform correlator). And since the structure of the proposed system is FSJTC which can eliminate auto-correlation and cross-correlation between input images, it can eliminate false alarm caused by the overlapping among correlation peaks. The used wavelet functio is the morlet function, which is proper for the reference image used in this paper. the optimal dialation parameter and oscillation frequency of the wavelet function are also achieved with varying the parameters of the wavelet function. The computer simulation shows that the proposed system has the best performance when the dilation parameter is 0.8 and the oscillation frequency is 0.48.
