Machinery enclosures are widely adopted to reduce the noise emission in various fields of application. Emitted noise, which is due to the vibration of enclosure's outer surface, is composed of two kinds of sound with different path of propagation. One is the "structure-borne sound", while the other is "air-borne sound". In order to get a most efficient machinery enclouser a prudent consideration upon the above structure-borne and air-borne sound is required, as the guiding principle of contermeasure for each noise is quite different. The controlling of input vibration and its isolation are major subjects for the structure-borne sound, and the specifications of absorbing members and damping panels are the major related matters for the air-borne sound. Hence, it seems very efficient to separate the total sounds into two categories with a great accuracy when one think of further reduction of noise from the existing enclosure, although its separating methods have not been made clear for many years. Author proposes an application method of experimental modal analysis to extract the structure-borne sound from the measured total radiation sound, as the air-borne sound is deduced by the vectorial difference between the measured total radiation sound and the calculated structure-borne sound. In order to calculate the correct structure-borne sound by the excitation at an arbitrary point on the enclosure structure, it is important to decide 1) how to estimate the enclosure's surface vibration velocity and 2) how to compute the radiation sound which is considered as the effect of vibration modes of enclosure surface. The former can be solved with total frequency response function calculated by the application of experimental modal analysis. The latter is to be solved by the author's new approaches for radiation sound computation by means of the Rayleigh's integral equation and the boundary-element method applied complex surface vibration velocity. As a first step, structure-borne sound by the excitation at an arbitry point on the rectangular plate with fixed edges, has been calculated to verified the reliability of the developed computation methods. The results of calculation show good agreements with those of the actual measurements.actual measurements.

The use of beamforming method and de-Dopplerization technique was applied in studying the rotating sound sources. Acoustic analysis of a moving sound source required that the measured sound signals be do-Dopplerized and restored as of the original emission signals. Two main issues of the signal reconstruction in time domain are addressed herein: First, to remove Doppler effect from the measured data and to restore the original emission data of the moving source. The difference of the time domain beamforming from the frequency domain beamforming was mentioned. Also, the time domain beamforming method is deployed in the test and the comparisons were made to the frequency domain results. The time domain signal reconstruction was numerically simulated prior to the application. To validate the de-Dopplerization Performance, the rotating Point sources were examined and localized by the use of a phased array of microphone. The application of prop-rotor was conducted in a hovering condition. The results of reconstructing time signals of rotating sources and its locations were shown in the power distribution maps. In the prop-rotor measurements, the acoustic source locations were successfully verified in varying positions for different frequencies of interest.

Although sound intensity is considered as one of important factors in auditory processing, its neural mechanism in auditory neurons with limited dynamic range of firing rates is still unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of sound intensity adaptation on the change of glucose metabolism in a rat brain using [F-18] micro positron emission tomography (PET) neuroimaging technique. In the experiment, broadband white noise sound was given for 30 minutes after the [F-18]FDG injection in order to explore the functional adaptation of rat brain into the sound intensity levels. Nine rats were scanned with four different sound intensity levels: 40 dB, 60 dB, 80 dB, 100 dB sound pressure level (SPL) for four weeks. When glucose uptake during the adaptation of a high intensity sound level (100 dB SPL) was compared with that during adaptation to a low intensity level (40 dB SPL) in the experiment, the former induced a greater uptake at bilateral cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complexes and inferior colliculi in the auditory pathway. Expectedly, the metabolic activity in those areas linearly increased as the sound intensity level increased. In contrast, significant decrease interestingly occurred in the bilateral auditory cortices: The activities of auditory cortex proportionally decreased with higher sound intensities. It may reflect that the auditory cortex actively down-regulates neural activities when the sound gets louder.

Acoustic analysis of a moving sound source required that the measured sound signals be do-Dopplerized and restored as of the original emission signals. The purpose of this research is development of beamforming technique can be applied to the rotor noise source identification. For the do-Dopplerization and reconstruction of emitted sound wave, Forward Propagation Method is applied to the time domain beamforming technique. And validation test were performed using rotating sound source constructed by bended pipe and horn driver. In the validation test using sinusoidal sound wave, sufficient performance of signal processing can be seen, and the effect of measuring duration for accuracy was compared. In the prop-rotor measurements, the acoustic source locations were successfully verified in varying positions for different frequencies and collective pitch angle, in hover condition.

일반적으로, 완전 이식형 인공중이의 이식형 마이크로폰은 측두골 부근에 이식되어진다. 이 경우, 마이크로폰의 진동막이 외부 충격이나 생체 노이즈의 영향 받을 수 있으며 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 이식용 마이크로폰을 외이도 내에 이식하는 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 그러나 이소골에 이식된 진동 트랜스듀서에 의해서 고막으로부터 외이도 방향으로 음향 반향이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 사람의 귀와 유사한 특성을 가지는 귀 모델을 제작하여 프로브 마이크로폰의 위치를 변경해가며 외이도의 음향 반향을 측정하였고 실험결과를 통하여 외이도 내에서의 마이크로폰의 이식 위치를 추정해 보았다. 분석 결과 외이도에 마이크로폰을 이식할 경우 고막에서 멀어질수록 반향 신호가 감소함을 확인할 수는 있었으나, 반향 신호를 완전히 제거할 수 없기 때문에 외이도에 마이크로폰을 이식하기에는 부적합한 것으로 예상된다.

Evoked otoacoustic emission (e-OAE) signals are measured from adult and analyzed by computer. Stimulation and detection are repeated and averaged 1000 times for noise cancellation. e-OAE signals are analyzed on frequency domain and time domain. The frequency domain analysis reveals that frequency of stimulus and emission has lineal relationship in 50 dB input sound amplitude. This result altos the cross correlation method to be applied for latency calculation. As the stimulus frequency grows higher, the latency tine is shorter and the gain or emission signal becomes greater. We introduced two mathmatical functions to identify these latecy and gain. These results can be utilized for cochlear modeling.

The sound measurement techniques in IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from 1.5 MW wind turbine generator (WTG) at Yongdang-Lee and 650 kW WTG at Hangwon-Lee in Jeju Island. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence and third-octave band levels are evaluated for both of WTGs. 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang is found to emit lower sound power than 660 kW one at Hangwon, which seems to be due to lower rotating speed of the rotor of WTG at Yongdang. Equivalent continuous sound pressure level s (ECSPL) of 650 kW WTG at Hangwon vary more widely with speed than those of 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang. The reason for this is believed to be the fixed blade-rotating speed of WTG at Yongdang. One-third octave band analysis of the measured data show that the band components around 400-500 Hz are dominant for 1.5 MW WTG at Yongdang and those around 1K Hz are dominant for 660 kW WTG at Hangwon.

정상법랑질과 인공우식법랑질에서 불소바니쉬 도포 후의 항우식 효과를 알아보기 위하여 건전한 소의 전치를 사용하였고, 네 군으로 분류하여 실험하였다. 법랑질 표면의 재광화 및 탈회 후 결정구조의 변화를 FE-SEM으로 관찰하였고, Ca과 P의 정량적 분석은 EDS를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 불소바니쉬 도포한 경우, 재석회화로 인하여 불규칙하고 매우 거친 표면과 다공성의 구조물이 평활하고 균일한 양상으로 나타났으며, Ca 및 P의 함량이 증가되어 정상법랑질과 인공우식법랑질의 항우식 효과를 크게 증진시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

The overall noise reduction was compared in regard to the vibrational characteristics of floor impact noise in a multi story residential building which has several noise reduction treatments. The vibration through its structural elements such as wall, floor and ceiling and sound emitting were investigated for each insulation treatment. It was found that, in case of heavy-weight impact noise, the vibration energy is emitted mostly from ceiling, but for the light-weight impact noise, most of the energy comes through ceiling and walls. That is, the vibration of a ceiling is the main factor that determines the frequency characteristics of the transmitting noise to lower floors.
