This paper considers acoustic characteristics of silencer within a dry vacuum pump. The main objective is to reduce noise in dry vacuum pump using the new designed silencer. First, SPL and sound intensity are measured for noise source identification and the new model silencer is designed corresponding to noise characteristics. 4-pole parameters are used to predict the transmission loss which is one of the interest characteristics of the new silencer. The calculated transmission loss is then used to change main effective factor and optimal value is selected by using design of experiment. By conducting an experiment, it is proved that the new designed silencer has reduced noise level by 6 dB(A) more than the original one.

복잡한 음성장애를 이해하기 위해서는 음성관에 대한 여러 단계에서의 정량적인 검사가 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위하여 여러 가지 검사 법이 이용되고 있는데 예를 들면 음성의 인지적 검사(perceptual intelligibility), 음향음성학적검사(acoustic analysis), 공기역동학적 검사(aerodynamic study), 후두구조물의 운동 관찰, 그리고 근과 신경의 기능 검사(electromyographic study)등이 있다. 이중 인지적 검사는 청취자 동의 문제와 검사 법에 대하여 문제점이 제기 되기도 하며 발화 중 후두기능의 병태생리에 관한 추론적인 정보만을 제공한다는 문제점이 있다. 음향음성 검사는 이미 잘 알려진 상태로서 많은 parameter들이 측정되어온 것이 사실이나 그 유용성에 대해서도 아직 논란이 있으며 단지 성대의 진동에 의해 나타나는 현상만을 이용한 검사로서 일종의 정지성 연구에 불과한 것이 사실이다.

New titanium alloys with a low elastic modulus have been developed for biomedical applications to avoid the stress shielding effect of the artificial prosthesis. The newly developed alloys contained the transition elements like Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta which were non-cytotoxicity elements and $\beta$ stabilizers. In the present paper the elastic moduli of Ti-xM containing Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta were evaluated by measuring the acoustic velocity (PEG). The effectiveness of the alloying elements for lowering the elastic modulus was investigated. In addition, the dominant factors for the low modulus were discussed. Ta was the most effective in lowering the elastic modulus of the alloys. The effectiveness of Hf was not acceptable for decreasing the elastic modulus. The dominant factor was the lattice parameter for Zr, and the poisson's ratio for Nb, Ta, respectively.

Microphone array is designed to measure the equivalent source height of vehicle noise. The equivalent source position is defined for an arbirary distribution of acoustic sources above a perfectly reflecting plane and a microphone array for its measurement is developed. The normalized errors of the measured equivalent source heights are defined including the effects of background noise, the geometric near field, and source size. Normalized errors of the measured source heights obtained by a nemerical simulation for each parameter lead to optimization of the microphone spacing and to the design of an array which gives the equivalent source height as a function of frequency. The performance of the designed array is verified using the stationary loudspeaker experiments.

Mechanical seals are one of main components of high speed centrifugal pumps. So, it is very important to detect the faults (scratch, notch, indentation, wear) of mechanical seals since the damage of seal can cause a critical failures or accidents of machinery system. In the past, many researchers mainly performed to detect the seal fault using the time signals measured from sensors. Recently, studies are focused on the development of on-line real time monitoring system. But study on the feature parameters used for fault detection of mechanical seals has a little been performed. In this paper, we showed feature parameters extracted from accelerated and acoustic signals by using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), alpha coefficient, statistical parameters. And also verified the possibility for fault detection of mechanical seal.

Two major obstacles in the utilization of electrical vehicles are their price and range. The collaboration of direct torque control (DTC) with induction motor (IM) is preferred for its low cost, easy implementation, and parameter independency. However, in terms of edges, the method has drawbacks, such as variable switching frequency and undesired current harmonic distortion. These drawbacks result in acoustic noise, reduced efficiency, and electromagnetic interference. A feed-forward approach for stator-flux-oriented DTC with space vector pulse-width modulation is presented in in this paper. The outcome of the proposed method is low current harmonic distortion with fixed switching frequency while preserving the torque performance and simple application feature of basic DTC. The method is applicable to existing and forthcoming IM drive systems via software adaptation. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

Application of the Filtered-X LMS adaptive filter to active noise control requires to estimate the transfer characteristics between the output and the error signal of the adaptive canceler. In this paper, we derive an adaptive control algorithm and analyze its convergence behavior when the acoustic noise is assumed to consist of multiple sinusoids. The results of the convergence analysis of the Filtered-X LMS algorithm indicate that the effects of parameter estimation inaccuracy on the convergence behavior of the algorithm are characterize by two distinct components : Phase estimation error and estimated magnitude. In particular, the convergence of the Filtered-X LMS algorithm is shown to be strongly affected by the accuracy of the phase response estimate. Simulation results of the algorithm are presented which support the theoretical convergence analysis.

This paper present study on the application of sound pressure and vibration signals to detect the presence of defects in a rolling element bearing using a statistical analysis method. The well established statistical parameters such as the crest factor and the distribution of moments including kurtosis and skew are utilized in this study. In addition, other statistical parameters derived from the beta distribution function are also used. A comparison study on the performance of the different types of parameter used is also performed. The statistical analysis is used because of its simplicity and quick computation. Under ideal conditions, the statistical method can be used to identify the different types of defect present in the bearing. In addition, the results also reveal that there is no significant advantages in using the beta function parameters when compared to using kurtosis and the crest factor for detecting and identifying defects in rolling element bearings from both sound and vibration signals.

Field-domain dynamics and current self-oscillations are theoretically studied in quantum-well (QW) negative-effective-mass (NEM) $p^{+}pp^{+}$ diodes when the electric field is applied along the direction of the well. The origin of current self-oscillations is the formation and traveling of electric-field domains in the p-base. We have accurately considered the scattering contributions from carrier-impurity, carrier-acoustic phonon, and carrier-optic phonon. It's indicated that, both the applied bias and the doping concentration largely influence the current patterns and self-oscillating frequencies, which lie in the THz range for the NEM $p^{+}pp^{+}$ diode with a submicrometer p-base. The complicated field-domain dynamics is presented with the applied bias as the controlling parameter.
