Human hearing sensitivity is frequency-dependent. The sensitivity is low at both ends of the audible frequency, and the sensitivity is the highest in the middle band at 3000 Hz. The heart sound of a healthy person is concentrated at a low frequency of 200 Hz or less, and despite using a stethoscope, the hearing sensitivity of the human body is low, and the stethoscope sound is low. Amplifying the sound of the stethoscope is not effective in distinguishing heart sounds in noisy environments because it maintains the same signal-to-noise ratio. In this study, a method of enhancing auditory stimulation was developed by applying a method of moving the spectrum of auscultation sounds into a high-frequency region where the human body is highly sensitive to hearing. The spectrum of the auscultation sound was moved up by 500 Hz in the frequency domain, and an inverse fast Fourier transform (FFT) was performed to reconstruct the auscultation sound. The heart sounds reconstructed by moving the spectra were divided into the first heart and second heart sound components, as in the original heart sound, and it was confirmed that the intensity was large in the cochleagram representing auditory stimulation. Therefore, this study suggested that spectral shift is a method to enhance auditory stimulation during auscultation without increasing the intensity of the auscultation sound.

Multiple sound sources are controlled to enhance sound power within a zone of interest. The problem of enhancing acoustic variable can be regarded as an optimization problem, which seeks an optimal control input that maximizes the acoustic variable. It should be noted that enhancing sound power of a selected region requires both the magnitude and direction to be controlled. For this reason, two kinds of cost functions that can represent the spatially distributed intensity are defined. Theoretical formulation shows the possibility of sound power control in a zone, and the detailed procedures of the proposed method are validated by numerical simulations.

The measuring of acoustic intensity has been investigated by many researchers and practicians during the last several decades. But due to the lack of measurement accuracy, they have had no practical use. In recent years, the two microphone acoustic intensity method has been developed by the advancement of FFT analysis technique and the digital data processing equipment. This new method of using two microphones gives informations on the noise source survey and the acoustic power of sound radiation source without the anechoic room. In this paper, theoretical formulae for the two microphone acoustic intensity method and the sound transmission loss are checked. The obtained results for the acoustical enclosure of gas heat pump were compared with the classical field incidence mass law. The surface vibration modes for a panel of enclosure were also estimated.

In this paper, a new method is proposed to estimate the sound pressure generated from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine. There are many noise sources as much as components in GDI engine. Among these components, fuel pump, fuel injector, fuel rail, pressure pump and intake/exhaust manifolds are major components generated from top of the engine. In order to estimate the contribution of these components to engine noise, the total sound pressure at the front of the engine is estimated by using airborne source quantification (ASQ) method. Airborne source quantification method requires the acoustic source volume velocity of each component. The volume velocity has been calculated by using the inverse method. The inverse method requires many tests and has ill-condition problem. This paper suggested a method to obtain volume velocity directly based on the direct measurement of sound intensity and particle velocity. The method is validated by using two known monopole sources installed at the anechoic chamber. Finally the proposed method is applied to the identification and contribution of noise sources caused by the GDI components of the test engine.

In these days, promising renewable energy, wind turbine is clean energy but has an environmental pollutant which is noise. Noise assessment is one of the major performance evaluations for wind turbine and nowadays, developing and research for measurement and method of the assessment considering environmental pollutants is being important. Object in this study is that figuring out sound power characteristic of the gearbox for wind turbine through measuring sound intensity. In back-to-back test, we can figure out the noise characteristic of the gearbox for wind turbine through comparing and measuring sound pressure level, sound power level in operating at the each load condition respectively.

A heart sound algorithm, which separates the heart sound signal into four parts; the first heart sound, the systolic period, the second heart sound, and the diastolic period has been developed. The algorithm uses discrete intensity envelopes of approximations of the wavelet transform analysis method to the phonocard-iogram(PCG)signal. Heart sound a highly nonstation-ary signal, so in the analysis of heart sound, it is important to study the frequency and time information. Further more, Wavelet Transform provides more features and characteristics of the PCG signal that will help physician to obtain qualitative and quantitative measurements of the heart sound.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a possible occlusal contributing factor on the pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint sound by a new computer aided method for analysis of occlusal contact. 20 subjects without temporomandibular joint sound as control group and 20 subjects with temporomandibular joint sound as experimental group in the TMJ clinic, dental infirmary, School of Dentistry, Chosun University were selected so as to investigate the distribution and intensity of the bilateral occlusal contacts on silicone rubber bites in habitual intercusal position through a computer aided system. The following results were obtained : 1. The distribution and intensity of the occlusal contact could be analyzed and expressed as color density value per levels by this computer aided method. 2. There was not statistical significance between control and experimental group in total occlusal contacts. 3. There was statistical significance between control and experimental group In the total difference of right and left occlusal contacts.(P<0.05).

본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 인접 배치된 무지향성 스테레오 마이크로폰을 활용하여 녹음받은 스테레오 오디오 신호를 양이간 강도차에 기반하여 원하는 방위각에 존재하는 음원을 추출하는 음원 분리 기법을 제안한다. 먼저, 최소 분산 무손실 응답빔형성기를 활용하여 스테레오 오디오 신호의 양이간 강도차를 극대화하고, 강도차 기반의 음원 분리 기법을 적용한다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 stereo audio source separation evaluation campaign (SASSEC)에서 제공하는 객관적 성능평가 지표인 source-to-distortion ratio (SDR), source-to-interference ratio (SIR), sources-to-artifacts ratio (SAR)을 측정하였다. 측정한 결과, 음원 분리 기법에 빔형성기까지 적용한 결과가 높은 성능을 보인 것으로 평가되었다.

본 논문에서는 3차원 음향 인텐시티 프로브의 고주파 영역에서 발생하는 감도 저하 현상을 보정하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 고주파 영역에서 측정오차는 음향 인텐시티 프로브를 구성하는 마이크로폰으로 수음한 신호들의 위상차로 인하여 발생한다. 이 오차는 마이크로폰 사이의 간격보다 측정대상 음향신호의 파장일 작을 경우, 즉 신호의 주파수가 높을수록 크게 발생한다. 이 연구에서는 두개의 마이크로폰으로 구성된 1차원 프로브의 보정법들을 제안하여 그 유효성을 컴퓨터 수치계산으로 검토하였다. 음향 인텐시티 프로브를 구성하는 마이크로폰 사이의 위상차를 음원의 추정된 방향으로 보정하는 방법이 가장 유용하였으며, 이를 3차원 프로브에 적용하여 임의의 방향으로 전파하는 음원에 대해 컴퓨터 수치계산으로 검증하였다. 그 결과, 4개의 마이크로폰을 60mm 간격으로 구성한 3차원 프로브로 1dB 이하의 정밀한 측정이 가능한 주파수 범위가 약 1.2kHz 이였던 것을 제안한 보정방법을 적용한 후, 약 2.8kHz까지 감도가 향상됨이 확인되어 제안한 보정법의 유효성이 증명되었다.

구조진동 소음 문제의 평가에 있어 방사소음은 중요한 물리적 특성으로 음향 인텐시티 측정으로 확인이 가능하지만, 시간이 오래 걸리고 까다로운 측정 조건 때문에 시험을 꺼리는 경향이 많다. 그 대안으로 시뮬레이션이 사용되고 있으며, 그 정확도도 높다. 문제는 방사소음 파워와 방사효율 같은 중요한 물리량을 얻기 위해서는 이를 계산해 주는 특정한 소프트웨어가 필요하다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 이런 관점에서 일반적인 유한요소 해석 소프트웨어를 사용하여 방사소음 파워와 방사 효율을 계산하는 후처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 두가지 방법은 기본적으로 시험에서 사용하는 방법을 시뮬레이션에 활용하는 것이다. 첫번째 방법은 상반성 기법을 이용하는 것이며, 두번째 방법은 인접한 2개의 위치에서 계산된 음압을 이용하는 방법이다. 두가지 방법이 모두 효과적으로 방사소음 파워를 예측할 수 있음을 보였으며, 그 한계도 설명하였다.
