The equivalent source method (ESM) uses two groups of equivalent source positions. One group includes the first order images of the sound source inside the enclosure. The positions of the other group are usually on a spherical surface some distance outside the enclosure. A proper selection of the positions for the far field sources could greatly improve the performance of the modeling accuracy and reduce the number of the sources to achieve the required accuracy. This study uses optimally distributed far field source positions on the surface of enlarged version of the rectangular enclosure instead of using typical spherical distribution. Simulations using various sizes of the box shaped distribution are executed and optimal positions are searched using an optimization technique from the larger number of candidate positions. The results of using these far field source positions are compared and analyzed.

Recently, The demands for the reduction of noise generated by transformers have been increasing. Almost all of the noise generated by transformers is a result of magnetostricitive vibration in the core. The noise radiates into the atmosphere from the tank through the insulation oil. As the noise of transformer irritates residents, needs for decreasing the noise of transformer have been arised. One method of reduction such a noise is to build a free-standing enclosure of concrete and steel plates around the transformer. However, this method has some disadvantages. Another method of noise reduction is to mount a close-fitting sound insulation panel on the side of a transformer tank. Side plate vibrations of transformer are transmitted to such a sound insulation panel along two paths. In one case, they are transmitted through air by sound pressure and in the other through supporting structures. In the paper, the vibration and noise effect which is transferred from reinforce channel to insulation panel generated by transformer have been identified for the several kinds of insulation panel and damping sheet analytically and experimetally.

Hydraulic breaker is currently used for many civil engineering areas owing to the ease of changing the tooling mechanism. However, due to a high noise level, it has been one of notorious sources of environmental noise and the prevailing environmental concerns force the manufacturers to reduce the radiated noise levee during operations. To comply with such concerns, the present study is focused on designing and developing a low-noise hydraulic breaker For this purpose, sound sources are identified and relative contributions are rated. Acoustic enclosure. sealing systems, and low-nolle type chisel have been developed and applied to the actual machine. As a result, the radiated noise from the developed low-noose hydraulic breaker is reduced more than 13 dB(A) In comparison with the conventional hydraulic bleaker.

In this study, we investigate active control of noise transmitted through a window of enclosures minimizing the acoustic power. To reduce noise of the enclosures, passive methods with absorbing material are generally used. The passive methods, however, are limited use due to the vantilation windows. In this case, these windows are path of noise leakage. Feedforward active noise control technology is applied to minimize the sound power from the enclosure. The feedforward controller is implemented with FIR filter based on the transfer functions calculated numerically. The controller reflects the delay due to FIR filter. The noise transmitted through the window is actively controlled, and the reduction of the power is obtained by 15dB.

We have studied the possibility of global noise reduction by the sound power control through selection of distribution and impedance of absorptive materials. It is necessary to investigate the relation between the global sound energy in the field and the total sound power radiated by sources. In the previous work (1,2), the authors presented a useful design method to change boundary condition that can be useful to reduce noise in acoustically small enclosures. The possibility of total acoustic potential energy reduction by acoustic source power control is examined in an acoustically small cavity. Using acoustic energy balance equation, the relation between global noise control performance and absorptive material's arrangement/impedance is deduced. Numerical simulation is performed to interpret its physical meaning in terms of absorbent's distribution and impedance.

Recently, demands for the reduction of noise generated by transformers have been increasing. Accordingly the noise of transformer occasion displeasing to residents therefore the transformer needs to decrease of noise. One method of reduction such a noise is to build a free-standing enclosure of concrete and steel plates around the transformer, however, this method has some disadvantages, for example, a lage area is needed for equipment installation. In the paper, the vibration and noise effect which is transferred from reinforce channel to insulation panel generated by transformer have been identified for the several kinds of insulation panel and damping sheet experimentally.

본 연구에서는 차폐구조 내부에 위치한 소음원의 체적이 비교적 큰 근접 음향 차폐구조로 취급하여, 구조 내부의 공간적 음장분포해석(spatial sound distribution analysis)은 하지 않고 단지 소음원의 표면과 차폐 벽면 간의 공기층에 의한 간섭 영향을 고려하면서, 차폐로 인한 음압의 상승(build up)효과를 고려하여, 직육면체의 형상을 가지는 차폐구조에 부착되는 각각의 벽면들의 음향 삽입손실(Insertion Loss, IL) 특성을 전달매트릭스 기법(Transfer Matrix Analysis, TMA)을 이용하여 해석하였으며, 이러한 벽면들에 대한 이론 해석의 결과로 제작된 벽면들의 음향차폐특성을 시험을 통해 나타내었다.

Civil petitions and law suits against the military rifle shooting noise have been increased because many military shooting ranges are located near civilian residential area. In order to solve the noise problems, military have devised various methods. In this study, propagation properties of rifle shot through atmosphere were investigated. The military rifle shooting noise level at 5m from muzzle was between $l14{\sim}120dB$ in all directions. The noise level loom both backward and sideward away from system firing range consisting lines of 8 shooting locations were 90dB, when shots were all fired within 10 seconds. At present some of military bases established sound barriers, muzzle enclosures, silencers, and indoor shooting ranges to reduce noises and these prevention methods can reduce noise by $5{\sim}20dB,\;5{\sim}9dB,\;5{\sim}13dB,\;40{\sim}50dB$, respectively. Even though indoor shooting range has the best performance, it requires very expensive construction cost and has short length between target and shooter. In comparison, muzzle enclosure is cheap, but because it is installed in fixed position it can only be used in one shooting position. Therefore a commander should select appropriate methods to reduce military rifle shooting noise considering distance from residential area to the range, mission of military training, budget, etc.

The possibility of global noise reduction by the sound power control through selection of distribution and impedance of absorptive materials is discussed. It is necessary to investigate the relation between the global sound energy in the field and the total sound power radiated by sources. In the previous work,$^{(1.2)}$ the authors presented a useful design method to change boundary condition that can be useful to reduce noise in acoustically small enclosures. Changing boundary condition Is related to not only enclosure’s geometrical shape but also acoustical treatment on walls for example, attaching of impedance patches (ex: absorptive material). In many practical situations, we often meet situation to change acoustical treatment on walls. The possibility of total acoustic potential energy(globa1 noise) reduction by acoustic source power control is examined in an acoustically small cavity Using acoustic energy balance equation, the relation between global noise control performance and absorptive material’s arrangement/impedance is deduced. Numerical simulation is performed to interpret its physical meaning in terms of absorbent’s distribution and impedance.
