The anisotropy and shape of distributed piezopolymer actuator have advantages over isotropic piezo ceramic materials, since these features of PVDF can be utilized as another design variable in control application. This study is interested in the reduction of sound transmission through elastic plate into interior space by using the PVDF actuator. The plate-cavity system is adopted as a test problem. The vibration of composite plate and the sound fields through plate are analyzed by using the coupled finite element and boundary element method. Some numerical simulations are performed on sound transmission through elastic plates. To investigate the effects of anisotropy and shape of distributed piezopolymer actuator, various kinds of distributed PVDF actuators are applied in sound control simulation for isotropic and anisotropic plates. The PVDF actuators applied are different from each other in their shapes and laminate angles. The results of control simulation show that the control effectiveness of distributed PYDF actuator can be enhanced by using the coupling between shape of actuator and vibration modes of structure and the anisotropy of piezoelectric properties of PVDF.

Precise highway traffic noise simulation and reduction require the accurate data for sound power levels omitted by vehicles, varied to road surface, traffic speed, vehicle types and makers, different from countries to countries. In this study, we have elaboratively measured Korea highway traffic noise and parameters affecting noise levels at the nearside carriageway edge. From numerical simulation using the measured results for highway traffic noise, we propose not only two correction factors to enhance the accuracy of Korea highway traffic sound power estimation using ASJ Model-1998 but also its typical power spectrum according to road surface type. The measured and predicted highway traffic noise levels using the proposed sound power show little difference within 1 dB.

Due to rapid progress in the performance of high-end computers, numerical prediction of fluid flow and flow-induced sound is expected to become a vital tool for aero- and hydro- dynamic design of various flow-related products. This presentation focuses on the applications of large-scale numerical simulations to complex engineering problems with a particular emphasis placed on the low-speed flows. Flow field computations are based on a large eddy simulation that directly computes all active eddies in the flow and models only those eddies responsible for energy dissipations. The sound generated from low-speed turbulent flows are computed either by direct numerical simulation or by decoupled methods, according to whether or not the feedback effects of the generated sound onto the source flow field can be neglected. Several numerical examples are presented in order to elucidate the present status of such computational methods and discussion on the future prospects will also be given.

Cache performance is an important factor in hardware system. We proceed with a cache simulation to analyze the cache performance suitable for sound rendering. In addition, we introduce hardware models based on ray tracing used in geometric method and studies to improve cache performance. Cache simulation is performed on various conditions for cache size, way and block. Various simulations can be found to influence the cache hit rate. We compare cache simulation results with actual hardware performance to analyze cache performance suitable for sound rendering.

During artillery fire, an excessive level of impulse noise propagating in the form of a storm wave is generated. Since the sound of impact from the fire affects the stability of the surrounding structures, the artillery and the structures must be separated from each other by the proper distance to avoid damages from friendly fire. However, if they have already been built within the distance, it is possible to prevent the damages by building sound barriers between them. In this study, the proper separation distance between the artillery and the structure was calculated, and the insertion losses due to various heights and shapes of the sound barrier were simulated by using the BEM(Boundary Element Method), and conclusively the optimal sound barrier was selected.

We provide methods to simulate noise propagation for an outdoor environment. Forward tracing method traces sound vectors from sources to receivers while geometry based computation finds all possible sound propagation between sources and receivers geometrically. We discuss defects in relying on a forward tracing method, and suggest a geometry based method. Geometry based method considers all possible direct and indirect(propagation via limited number of reflections) sound propagation saving computational time compared to forward sound tracing. Our simulation results are visualized using VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language).

Direct numerical simulation results of aeolian tones generated by a two-dimensional obstacle (circular cylinder, square cylinder, NACA0012 airfoil) in a uniform flow are presented and the generation and propagation mechanisms of the sound are discussed. The unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a highly-accurate finite difference scheme over the entire region from near to far fields. The direct numerical simulation results are also compared with the results obtained by Curle's acoustic analogy.

This paper proposes a new sound localization algorithm that can improve localization performance based on a tetrahedron-shaped microphone array. Sound localization system estimates directional information of sound source based on the time delay of arrival(TDOA) information between the microphone pairs in a microphone array. In order to obtain directional information of the sound source in three dimensions, the system requires at least three microphones. If one of the microphones fails to detect proper signal level, the system cannot produce a reliable estimate. This paper proposes a tetrahedron- shaped sound localization system with a coordinate transform method by adding one microphone to the previously known triangular-shaped system providing more robust and reliable sound localization. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a real time simulation was conducted, and the results were compared to the previously known triangular-shaped system. From the simulation results, the proposed tetrahedron-shaped sound localization system is superior to the triangular-shaped system by more than 46% for maximum sound source detection.
