The exhaust system, including a muffler, is one of the major sources to generate the radiated noise of construction equipment. In general, the muffler is applied to construction equipment in order to reduce the exhaust noise. Sometimes, however, the higher exhaust noise can be experienced due to the flow effect inside a muffler. So, it is required to consider the flow effect to reduce the exhaust noise level of construction equipment. In this paper, various tests were performed to calculate the flow noise effect inside a muffler. Through a series of tests with respect to a variety of design parameters, a new design program for low noise muffler was developed and applied to reduce the exhaust noise of the construction equipments. These results make it possible to understand the dynamic characteristics of the flow noise and to design the low noise muffler for the construction equipments.

The radiated noise of the excavator is composed of the various noise sources such as the diesel engine, cooling fan and hydraulic system, so the noise reduction for each noise source is required. In this study, the source contribution analysis for these principal noise sources is performed by using the noise source removal method. And to reduce the noise due to each one, the various experiments and analyses are studied. On the basis of these results, the proper reduction countermeasures are derived to develop the excavator satisfied the $2^{nd}$ noise regulation of EU.

In this paper, the main noise sources and its radiated noise levels of upwind horizontal-axis wind turbines are experimentally and theoretically investigated. Theoretical predictions for indentifying the dominant source locations are made by using the empirical noise prediction model of Brooks et al. (1989) for the airfoil self noise. Through the comparison of theoretical results with the experimental results, turbulence-boundary-layer-trailing-edge (TBL-TE) noise is revealed to be the dominant source over all frequency range and separation and stall (S-S) noise is possibly important in the relative lower frequency range compared with TBL-TE noise.

The Low frequency(1-200 Hz) noise levels radiated by road traffic were investigated. The results showed that the peak pass-by noise of truck with speed of 60km/h was about 75㏈. For the infra-sound frequency range, the noise was about 65㏈ and it was less value than expected. But the noise level will be increase as increasing the speed. The pass-by noise for train was also measured for comparison. The peak train noise was about 95㏈ and it will be enough noise level for a human body to give nuisance.

Acoustic intensity method is applied to a 4-cylinder gasoline engine in order to identify the noise sources and the response characteristics. Acoustic intensity is analyzed by 1/3 octave band filter for each center frequency. Radiational characteristics of acoustic intensity at overall and the maximum intensity level are represented by using the contour and three-dimensional plot. It is verified that this method is effective to the assessment of engine noise. It can be found that the maximum intensity is radiated from the front side of the engine under idling condition and the right side of it under 2, 000 rpm running with no loading condition at overall level, and also that the maximum intensity is radiated from the oil pan and the intake and exhaust manifold at the center frequency of 100 Hz.

PRAIRIE(Propeller Air Induced Emission) system is a kind of underwater radiated noise suppression systems to reduce the probability of the identification or classification of our warship's acoustic signature by an enemy ship. It is effective in case of strong cavitation events. This is because air bubbles emitted from the PRAIRIE system mitigate drastic collapses of the cavity bubbles that can generate an intense shock wave. However, when the PRAIRIE system is operated in a non or weak cavitation condition, it might increase the total level of underwater radiated noise and induce the acoustic signatures. Therefore, this paper presents the trial results on ventilation control of PRAIRIE to find a more efficient operation depend on the cavitation condition. Then, we show a variation of the amplitude modulation characteristics according to ventilation control.

This study aims at performing sensitivity analysis of piezoelectric smart structure for minimizing radiated noise from the structure, The structure consists of a flat plate on which disk shaped piezoelectric actuator is mounted, and finite element modeling is used for the structure. The finite element modeling uses a combination of three dimensional piezoelectric, flat shell and transition elements so thus it can take into account the coupling effects of the piezoelectric device precisely and it can also reduce the degrees of freedom of the finite element model. Electric potential on the piezoelectric actuator is taken as a design variable and total radiated power of the structure is chosen as an objective function. The objective function can be represented as Rayleigh's integral equation and is a function of normal displacements of the structure. For the convenience of computation, all degrees of freedom of the finite element equation is condensed out except the normal displacements of the structure. To perform the design sensitivity analysis, the derivative of the objective function with respect to the normal displacements is found, and the derivative of the norma displacements with respect to the design variable is calculated from the finite element equation by using so called the adjoint variable method. The analysis results are compared with those of the finite difference method, and shows a good agreement. This sensitivity analysis is faster and more accurate than the finite difference method. Once the sensitivity analysis program is used for gradient-based optimizations, one could achieve a better convergence rate than non-derivative methods for optimal design of piezoelectric smart structures.

Mean active intensity based active control for the cancellation of radiated noise out of the duct exit is studied. The active intensity control strategy is drerived based on the relation of the exterior sound field out of the duct termination and interior sound field of the duct. One of the characteristics of this control strategy is that the control performance can be maintained regardless of the sensor loction, compared with the conventional local pressure control methods at either interior downstream or exterior field positions. It is also suggested that the digital filtering for the active intensity control can be achieved by time-domain filtered-x LMP (Lest-Mean-Product) adaptive algorithm. Experiments for an open-ended duct are performed to compare the active intensity control performance with conventional pressure control one. Active control experiment of local sound pressure is conducted by widely used filtered-x LMS adaptive Algorithm and active intensity control implementaion uses the derived filter d-x LMP algorithm. It is shown that the exterior sound fileds was much better observable by sensing of the active intensity than by just sound pressure. It is also demonstrated that the global control performance of external field by acoustic intensity is superior to the conventional sound pressure control performance.
