The interaction between a vibrating structure and a surrounding acoustic medium determines the acoustic power propagating into the far-field. A straightforward method to reduce the radiated power is to reduce the vibration of the structure. However it is more efficient to control the modes of the structure separately since each vibration mode of the structure has different radiation efficiency. An efficient method to reduce the sound radiation in the low frequency region is proposed by reducing the radiation efficiency of the structure. Numerical simulations are carried out for a simply-supported beam in which the feed-forward control is applied to reduce the volume velocity of each structural mode. This method is found to be very efficient in reducing low frequency sound radiation.

This paper presents a radiation-hardened-by-design preamplifier that utilizes a self-compensation technique with a charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA) and replica for total ionizing dose (TID) effects. The CSA consists of an operational amplifier (OPAMP) with a 6-bit binary weighted current source (BWCS) and feedback network. The replica circuit is utilized to compensate for the TID effects of the CSA. Two comparators can detect the operating point of the replica OPAMP and generate appropriate signals to control the switches of the BWCS. The proposed preamplifier was fabricated using a general-purpose complementary metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistor 0.18 ㎛ process and verified through a test up to 230 kGy (SiO₂) at a rate of 10.46 kGy (SiO₂)/h. The code of the BWCS control circuit varied with the total radiation dose. During the verification test, the initial value of the digital code was 39, and a final value of 30 was observed. Furthermore, the preamplifier output exhibited a maximum variation error of 2.39%, while the maximum rise-time error was 1.96%. A minimum signal-to-noise ratio of 49.64 dB was measured.

The blower which is installed in a FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) may cause noise due to misalignment and unbalance of mechanical components that rotate at high speed. One of the key points in efforts to minimize the noise radiation from a blower is the knowledge of the main radiating component and the relation between the surface vibration of a blower and the sound pressure. In this research, the blower model is developed based on FEM(finite element method). FE(finite element) model is reliable by correlation of frequencies and MAC(modal assurance criterion) values between EMA(experimental modal analysis) and FEA(finite element analysis). This model is applied to predict the vibration of a blower by using inverse force identification method and predict the radiating noise by using BEM(boundary element method). Comparing the frequencies of resonance and those mode shapes between EMA and FEA, a structural modification of the FE model is evaluated for reducing the parameters of the blower noise.

Sound intensity techniques and ODS(Operational Deflection Shape) techniques are applied to identify the acoustic noise source of a hard disk drive and its control system. The sound intensity is used to visualize the noise source locations, and the ODS information to visualize the vibration pattern and to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the noise sources. The measurement systems are customized to accurately measure the sound intensity and ODS distributions of HDD system in space domains as well as frequency domains. The measurement systems for the sound absorption and transmission loss of materials are also used to support the background data for the efficient noise control. Using the visual information of source locations and its dynamic characteristics, the partial noise barrier structure and optimum absorption are designed and its controlled sound power level is proved to be under 3.1 Bel(Idle)/3.3Bel (Seek) which is the lowest level in the disk drive industry.

This paper proposes a new noise cancellation method for speech recognition in noise environments. We determine the time adaptive threshold value using standard deviations of wavelet coefficients after wavelet transform by frames. The time adaptive threshold value is set up by using sum of standard deviations of wavelet coefficients in cA3 and weighted cD1. cA3 coefficients represent the voiced sound with lower frequency components and cD1 coefficients represent the unvoiced sound with higher frequency components. In experiments, we removed noise after adding white Gaussian noise and colored noise to original speech. The proposed method improved SNR and MSE more than wavelet transform and wavelet packet transform does. As a result of speech recognition experiment using noise speech DB, recognition performance is improved by $2\sim4\;\%.$

Accurate prediction of the radiated noise is important to reduce the noise of the washing machine. It is also necessary to predict the excitation force accurately because excitation force can induce noise. In order to predict the excitation force acting on the washing machine, this paper conducts source identification method by use of phase reference spectrum. In this method, the transfer function between the cabinet and the motor through FEM and the measured response from the surface of the cabinet is used. The analysis of the radiation noise from the identified exciting force has been investigated. The comparison between the predicted SPL and the measured SPL at 1m apart from the front side of the washing machine showed good tendency.

The first purpose of this study investigates the influence of stiffening on the acoustic response of stiffened plates, which are often employed in steel structures. And the radiation efficiency is measured by average mean square velocity and sound intensity of stiffened plates. The second, it determines influence of mass, damp and stiffeness due to the partial adhesive visco-elastic material to reduce radiated sound power.

본 연구에서는 보강 원통쉘에 대하여 주위 유체의 영향을 고려하여 진동 및 음향방사를 해석하였다. 원통셀의 운동방정식은 Donnell 이론을 적용하였으 며, Contour 적분을 풀지 않고 FFT 알고리즘(Fast Fourier Transform Algorithm)을 이용하여 원통쉘의 진동을 계산하였다. 현재까지의 방사패턴에 관한 연구는 주로 원주 방향에 집중되어 왔으나, 보강 원통쉘의 방사패턴은 원추파 모형에 가까우므로 극좌표 .theta. 방향에 대한 음향방사 패턴에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 극좌표에 관한 방사패턴 에 관하여 주로 고찰하였다.

It has been shown that the vibrational response of a tire can be represented by a set of decaying waves, each associated with a particular cross-sectional shapes, in the region near the contact patch. Thus, it can be concluded that tires can be effectively modeled as lossy waveguides. It has also been shown that the sound radiation from tires is mainly from the region close to contact patch.
