PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to compare noise reduction quantities between before/after two-layer low noise pavement implementation using equivalent noise level analysis and to analyze the noise reduction effects of the two layer low noise pavement with a statistical method such as the Anderson-Darling Test.METHODS: In order to compare and to analyze noise reduction effects between before/after two-layer low noise pavement implementation, data acquisition as noise levels on a roadside and an apartment rooftop was conducted in the study area. The equivalent noise level was estimated in order to compare noise reduction quantities and the Anderson-Darling Test was carried out for estimating noise reduction effects of the two-layer low noise pavement.RESULTS: The equivalent noise levels of before/after two-layer low noise pavement implementation for the roadside during the daytime are 65.355 dB and 63.520 dB and during the nighttime are 62.463 dB and 59.088 dB. The equivalent noise levels for the apartment rooftop during daytime are 57.301 dB and 59.088 dB and during the nighttime are 54.616 dB and 52.464 dB. Also two-layer low noise pavement decreased the noise reduction effects estimated with the statistical method as the Anderson-Darling test for the roadside during the daytime by around 66.68% and decreased noise reduction effects on the roadside during the nighttime by 0.70%. Moreover it reduced noise reduction effects in the apartment rooftop during the daytime and nighttime by 0% and 96.32%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS : Based on the result of this study, two-layer low noise pavement can positively affect noise reduction during both the daytime and nighttime according to the results of estimating the equivalent noise levels and the Anderson-Darling test.

Assessment of noise exposed population is to check the environment noise level and social influence in order to reduce the risks such as annoyance and disturbance that are generated by environmental noise. Also, this method suggests the preferential noise abatement policy and action plan by accurately finding the area that the noise causes harmful effect to human health. Recently, a noise map, which can predict noise in comprehensive area, is used for the assessment of noise exposed population, breaking from the methods using existing measures. In particular, countermeasure for noise can be considered more effectively by using assessment methods of noise exposed population for specific noise level, area, and building types which are the main input factors in noise maps. In this study, we propose noise reduction ranking decision at ship construction and repair process due to noise map.

도로건설 및 포장기술이 발달함에 따라 도로의 내구성과 수명이 증가하게 되었고 도로 이용자들의 관심은 더 이상 도로의 구조성능이 아닌 기능성으로 그 주체가 변화하고 있다. 특히 도로의 기능성중 하나인 소음의 경우 도로교통소음 관련 민원처리 건수가 증가하고 있고 도로교통소음으로 인한 손해배상 책임을 인정하는 판결도 나오고 있어 도로 이용자들의 소음에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 도로교통소음을 줄이기 위한 방법은 바이패스(루프) 도로, 방음벽, 식수대 등의 시설물을 설치하여 소음의 원천으로부터 거리를 두는 방법이 있지만 용지 확보 문제와 고층에서는 그 효과가 미미하다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 소음의 원천에서 소음을 저감시킬 수 있는 “저소음 포장공법”에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. “제강 슬래그를 활용한 박층 아스팔트 포장공법” 또한 소음을 저감시키는 효과가 있으나, 그 효과를 분석한 관련 연구 사례가 없어 본 연구에서는 13mm 밀입도 아스팔트 포장공법 대비 제강 슬래그를 활용한 박층 아스팔트 포장공법의 소음 저감량을 산출하여 제강 슬래그의 소음저감 효과와 그 원인을 분석하였다. 소음측정 방법은 SPB(Statistcal Pass-by), CPX(Close Proximity), CPB(Controlled Pass-by), CB(Tryes-Coast-by) 등 여러 가지 방법이 있지만 실제 도로변에 전달되는 소음을 측정하기 위해 Pass-by 방법을 사용하였고 시험시공 구간의 교통량이 적어 CPB 방법을 선정하여 사용하였다. 실험 결과 13mm 밀입도 아스팔트 포장공법 대비 약 7 ∼ 8%의 소음저감 효과가 발생하였다. 그 이유로는 제강 슬래그의 골재 입형, 최대골재치수, 골재 비중에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 장기적인 소음저감 효과 분석을 위해 지속적인 모니터링과 추적조사가 필요하다. 또한 제강 슬래그는 고갈되는 천연골재와 부족한 1등급 골재의 대체 자원으로 활용이 가능하여 다양한 수요들이 발생 할 것으로 예상되며 관련 연구가 진행되어야 한다.

There is a considerable amount of research on metal material product worker’s hearing loss caused by noise that comes from manufacturing process. A further investigation that characterizes the sound that comes from manufacturing process of metal material products. however. To do this, a noise management plan is needed. It should include a generated sound process from the main sources of disturbance at manufacturing process areas. And a soundproof measurement will identify the amount of noise reduction needed for a hearing-safe working environment. Finally, researchers in this study measured tests on the noise and the vibration process, and the noise caused by operations allowed for an investigation on the suitability of certain environmental conditions. Noise-related programs can be used to predict the noise distribution of the noise level characteristic. This can help identify and reduce the presence of sound interference through sound proofing measures.

In this paper, a study on noise reduction characteristics of the precast floating track system, being developed as measures to mitigate noise and vibration of existing as well as constructing elevated railroad stations, is presented using numerical analysis. One of the most prominent sound analysis program, Virtual Lab., is utilized in investigating noise reduction performance of the precast floating track system, and structural velocity data, obtained from vibration analysis on a model-updated elevated railroad station considering vehicle-track-structure interaction, are used for the input of the sound analysis. The sound analysis is performed using the finite element method, and noise reduction performance before and after installing the precast floating track system is compared at three enclosed areas in the Daecheon Station, selected as a representative of elevated railroad stations in this nation. From the comparison result, it is seen that the precast floating track system can decrease noise by average of 5dB∼8dB when the Saemaeul train passing through the station and 10dB∼15dB when the KTX train passing through. Also, the noise reduction characteristics is different depending on the type of train and the distance from the track.

A precise control of the launcher in MLRS(Multiple Launcher Rocket System) is important for a mission completion. During the field operation of the MLRS, a friction noise was heard in the elevation clutch that controls the launcher. It was confirmed that unsteady friction between friction plates and clutch plates has caused the noise in the clutch. Conducting the analysis of drive mechnism in the clutch, there was a possibility of the unsteady friction because of moderated spring constant. Therefore, after performing experiments on the elevation clutch varied with spring constant, it was determined the proper spring constant. Finally, an improvement on the spring constant in the elevation clutch is expected in the future by utilizing the result of this study.

PURPOSES : In this study, noise reduction effect of a two-layer porous asphalt pavement was investigated through site measurement and computer simulation. METHODS: To examine noise reduction effect, a 3 km long quiet pavement was installed by removing previous normal pavement, which had a rather low porosity. The studied site was a high-rise apartment building surrounded by the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road with heavy traffic volume, indicating relatively high background noise. RESULTS: The measurement result before and after installing the quiet pavement showed a noise reduction effect of 4.3 dB(A) at a distance of 7.5 m from the road. After validating the accuracy of simulation using SoundPLAN, the reduction in SPL(sound pressure level) at the facades by the quiet pavement was predicted by considering five different road conditions generating traffic noise from each road or in the combination of the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road. In the case of no noise from Seoul ring road, noise reduction at the facades was 4.2 dB(A) on average for 702 housing units. With background noise from Seoul ring road, however, the average SPL decreased to 2.0 dB(A). Regarding subjective response of noise, the number of housing units with a noise reduction of over 3 dB(A) was 229 out of 706 units (approximately 32%). For 77 housing units, the noise reduction was between 1~3 dB(A), while it was less than 1 dB(A) for 400 housing units. CONCLUSIONS: The overall result indicates that the quiet pavement is useful to reduce noise evenly at low and high floors compared to noise barriers, especially in the urban situation where background noise is low.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the quiet pavement on reducing a barrier height by using a prediction tool called SoundPLAN. METHODS: Firstly, the prediction was carried out to evaluate the difference in the maximum noise level at a building facade between the normal and the quiet pavements without a barrier. After calculating the noise reduction effect by the quiet pavement, a comparable barrier height to obtain the same noise reduction effect with it was predicted according to designable factors including road-building distance(10 m, 20 m, 40 m) and road-barrier distance(5 m, 10 m, 20 m, 30 m). RESULTS: The result showed that within the considered designable factors, the maximum barrier height was 37 m, 52 m, and 55 m to have the same noise reduction effect by the quiet pavement reducing 1 dBA, 3 dBA , and 5 dBA, respectively. It was evaluated that the barrier height increased with the increase of the road-building and road-barrier distances. To simulate the real situation in urban areas and to evaluate the combined effect of the normal/quiet pavement and barrier, the barrier height was fixed as 6 m. It was predicted that the noise level would reduce to as low as 0.2 dBA by the combination of normal pavement and barrier. On the other hand, the combination of the quiet pavement and barrier reduced 1.2 dBA, 3.2 dBA, and 5.2 dBA, respectively, for quiet pavement reducing 1 dBA, 3 dBA, and 5 dBA. CONCLUSIONS: A guideline needs to be suggested to select appropriate noise abatement schemes by considering factors such as the roadbuilding and road-barrier distances.

도로교통 소음을 저감시키고자 하는 방안으로 가장 보편적인 방안으로 방음벽이 사용되어오고 있다. 하지만, 건물의 높이가 증가하여 방음벽의 높이도 높아지며, 이를 통한 주변경관을 저하가 되고 있다. 또 한, 방음벽의 높은 설치 및 유지비용도 방음벽의 한계로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 방음시설의 한 계를 극복하고자 능동형 소음 저감 기술(Active Noise Cancellation, 이하 ANC)이 대안으로 제시하였고, ANC 알고리즘 개발 및 현장 적용 분석을 진행하였다. ANC기술은 주로 음향장비, 차량내부 등 주로 내부 공간의 소음을 저감시키는데 사용된 기술이며, 도로 분야에 대한 적용은 기초적인 단계에 있다. 본 연구 에서는 가장 범용적인 ANC 알고리즘은 Fx LMS 알고리즘을 본 연구에서 개발한 ANC 제어기에 적용하여 현장 적용 분석을 수행하였다. 현장 적용은 경기도 광주 여주 IC 부근의 국도 구간과 중부내륙고속도로에 위치한 한국도로공사 시험도로에서 진행하였다. 현장 적용 결과 일반 국도에서는 일부 주파수 대역에서의 근소한 소음 저감 효과를 보였고, 고속도로의 경우 부분 주파수 대역에서 최대 3dB의 소음 저감을 보였다. 본 연구는 가장 범용적인 ANC 알고리즘은 Fx LMS 알고리즘을 통해 현장 적용 가능성을 입증 하였고, 향후, 다양한 ANC 알고리즘을 적용하여 현장적용에 적합한 알고리즘을 도출할 예정이다.

Most of the soundproof tunnels generate significant discharge noise through their inlets and outlets so that the length of the tunnel has been extended frequently than required to minimize the effect on such discharge noise. Thus, in this paper, we investigate reduction capability of discharge noise from the sound proof tunnel installed with lateral sound-absorbing panels on the partitioned truss members in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. In conclusion, noise field analysis results shows that the sound proof tunnels with lateral sound-absorbing panels have an effect on discharge noise abatement and thereby tunnel’s length reduction.

There are many causes of interior noise in commercial vehicles. The one of them is power steering noise and this study try to reduce the power steering noise by theoretical consideration. The interior noise was tested for the real truck and analysed the frequency. For reducing the interior noise, the spiral tube was adapted and modified the structure in the steering system. The spiral tube system was analysed and made the formula to calculate the reducing frequency. And the effective frequency for reducing the interior noise was calculated by changing the length of tube. Finally, we found the possibility between thoeretical results and real interior noise by comparing the frequency results. The second, the experimental consideration will be worked in power steering system. Finally, the optimal design result will be suggested for reduce the noise.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of an active noise cancellation (ANC) system in reducing the traffic noise level against frequencies from the predictive model developed by previous research. The predictive model is based on ISO 9613-2 standards using the Noble close proximity (NCPX) method and the pass-by method. This means that the use of these standards is a powerful tool for analyzing the traffic noise level because of the strengths of these methods. Traffic noise analysis was performed based on digital signal processing (DSP) for detecting traffic noise with the pass-by method at the test site. METHODS : There are several analysis methods, which are generally divided into three different types, available to evaluate traffic noise predictive models. The first method uses the classification standard of 12 vehicle types. The second method is based on a standard of four vehicle types. The third method is founded on 5 types of vehicles, which are different from the types used by the second method. This means that the second method not only consolidates 12 vehicle types into only four types, but also that the results of the noise analysis of the total traffic volume are reflected in a comparison analysis of the three types of methods. The constant percent bandwidth (CPB) analysis was used to identify the properties of different frequencies in the frequency analysis. A-weighting was applied to the DSP and to the transformation process from analog to digital signal. The root mean squared error (RMSE) was applied to compare and evaluate the predictive model results of the three analysis methods. RESULTS: The result derived from the third method, based on the classification standard of 5 vehicle types, shows the smallest values of RMSE and max and min error. However, it does not have the reduction properties of a predictive model. To evaluate the predictive model of an ANC system, a reduction analysis of the total sound pressure level (TSPL), dB(A), was conducted. As a result, the analysis based on the third method has the smallest value of RMSE and max error. The effect of traffic noise reduction was the greatest value of the types of analysis in this research. CONCLUSIONS : From the results of the error analysis, the application method for categorizing vehicle types related to the 12-vehicle classification based on previous research is appropriate to the ANC system. However, the performance of a predictive model on an ANC system is up to a value of traffic noise reduction. By the same token, the most appropriate method that influences the maximum reduction effect is found in the third method of traffic analysis. This method has a value of traffic noise reduction of 31.28 dB(A). In conclusion, research for detecting the friction noise between a tire and the road surface for the 12 vehicle types needs to be conducted to authentically demonstrate an ANC system in the Republic of Korea.

소음관련문제는 도심지 인구 집중화 현상 및 개인소유 차량 증가 현상 등으로 인하여 해가 거듭할수록 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 실제 국민권익위원회는 2012년~2014년 각 해마다 6월~8월 기간 동안 소음민 원접수 건수가 약1만 4천 건을 초과했음을 발표한 바가 있다. 또한 세종시는 시·도별 인구 10만 명당 민 원 발생건수가 가장 높게 집계되었고, 생활, 공사장, 교통으로 인한 소음문제가 압도적으로 많은 비중을 차지하였다. 이러한 소음문제피해를 최소화하기 위해 현재 국내 각 기초자치단체에서 구조물을 설치하거 나 저소음포장을 실시하는 등의 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이 외에도 같은 특성의 음향을 각기 다른 두 음원 에서 발생시켜 중첩시키는 원리를 적용한 ANC 시스템에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 하지만 도로교통소 음은 시간과 장소 등 다양한 변위에 영향을 받고 다른 소음원에 비해 주기가 짧아 이 기법을 적용하는 데 어려움이 있다. 그러므로 정확한 수음점에서의 음향특성과 소음원에서부터 전달 특성을 파악하기 위해서 기존연구를 토대로 도로교통소음 예측모델을 ANC 시스템에 적용할 경우 음향 감쇠효과를 어느 정도 발 휘할 수 있는지를 평가하였다. ANC시스템의 적용을 위해 수음점에서 소음도 측정이 가능한 pass-by계측방법과 차량검지기를 활용하 여 도로에서 발생하는 소음도를 측정하였다. 되는 예측소음과 측정소음도를 대조하는 과정에서 정확성을 판단하기 위해 LimA Predictor를 활용하였고 국제규격 ISO-9613-2의 음향 방사효과를 적용하였다. 그림 1은 음향의 저감 효과를 적용한 뒤, 수음점에 서 인간이 감지할 수 있는 음향을 파악하기 위해 해당 주파수 별로 A-가중치를 적용한 총 음압레벨을 도출 하였다. 이는 주파수 별 음향을 감쇠하는 과정으로 측 정된 주파수 별 음압에서 예측한 주파수 별 음압을 파 워차로 상쇄시킨다. 이 결과를 통해 감쇠효과를 파악 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 ANC 시스템을 활용하여 서로 다른 음원에서 음파를 중첩시킬 수 있는 경우 음향의 감쇠효과는 최소 11dB(A)에서 최대 22dB(A)까지임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 여러 요인이 영향을 미치는 도로교통소음의 특징상 실제 증명한 감쇠효과보다 적을 것으로 판단하였다.

도로교통소음은 다른 소음원에 비하여 노출의 빈도가 높고 지속적으로 발생하여 생활환경 주변에서 쉽 게 민원의 대상이 되고 있어 도로교통소음저감 대책의 필요성이 날로 증가되고 있다. 현재 소음저감대책 으로 사용되는 방음벽은 저층부에는 소음저감효과가 있으나 중 ․ 고층부는 소음저감효과가 없고, 일부 층 은 방음벽 상단의 반사음에 의하여 소음도가 증가하며, 2차 환경문제인 시야차단, 환기방해, 위압감, 통 행불편 등의 여러 가지 문제점들이 대두 되고 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 단층 구조의 저소음포장공법이 같이 사용되고 있으나, 소음저감효과가 크지 않다. 따라서 소음저감성능 향상과 충분한 내구성을 발휘하 는 새로운 기술에 대한 개발과 연구가 필요하므로 본 연구에서는 공용화 되어있는 복층구조의 포장노면이 일반아스콘 포장노면 및 단층 구조의 저소음포장노면 대비 도로교통소음을 얼마만큼 더 저감시키는지에 대한 소음저감성능을 분석하였다. 공용중인 RSBS 복층 저소음 배수성포장도로는 RSBS(Radial type SBS) 개질제를 이용하여 결합력을 높 이고, 물리적 강도를 향상시켜 22%이상의 공극률을 실현하고 포장의 구조를 복층구조로 형성시켰다. 복층 구조의 저소음 배수성 포장도로는 크기가 다양(상부층 8mm, 하부층 13mm 골재로 구성)하고 많은 공극을 표층에 집중시켜 타이어/노면(Tire/pavement)의 상호작용(압축, 팽창)에 의해 타이어패턴과 노면에서 발생 하는 공기량의 대부분을 공극으로 투과, 노면으로 배출되는 공기량을 줄여 도로교통소음을 저감시킨다. 이번 현장 검증시험을 진행한 시점이 공용 18~30개월이 경과된 시점임에도 불구하고 소성변형, 표면 탈리, 균열, 포트홀 등 없이 우수한 내구성을 유지하고 있었으며, 복층구조의 포장노면에서 일반아스콘포 장노면과 비교하여 평균 9dB(A)이상, 단층 구조의 저소음포장노면보다 평균 7dB(A)이상 더 소음저감 됨 을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 도로교통소음저감을 위하여 방음벽 높이 14M와 같으며, 일반 아스콘포장과 비교하여 교통량 약 90% 저감과 주행속도 약 40%의 저감효과를 볼 수 있는 것과 같아, 복층구조의 저소 음배수성 포장공법의 보급에 따른 국민의 삶의 질 향상이 기대된다.

본 연구에서 순천만 일대 새우 양식장 부근에서 이뤄지는 태양광 발전에 따른 소음영향평가방법을 진단하였다. 순천만 폐양식장에 태양광 발전시설이 설치되는 경우, 임계거리 17미터 이내에 위치한 새우양식장 S₂와 S₃(15미터 이격)은 소음에 대한 저감대책을 수립하지 않은 상태로 작업할 경우에는 악영향이 나타날 수 있다. 소음 스트레스를 감소시키기 위해 방음 판넬을 설치할 시, 본 연구에서 고려한 공사장비 최저효율(Case A), 일반효율(Case B), 최고효율(Case C)에 대한 수중소음 환경목표기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 건설 장비에서 발생되는 대기 소음이 수중으로 전파될 경우, 보다 합리적인 계산을 통해 수중 소음도 예측과 함께 주변 양식장에 미치는 누적 영향에 대한 심도 있는 평가 및 대책 수립이 필요하다.

There are many different causes of air drum brake judder noise in commercial vehicles. This study set out to identify those causes from the perspective of brake structure, not taking the environment into account. For that purpose, the investigator measured vibrations and noises in case of brake judder noise and analyzed their causes. The structural vibrations of the brake were analyzed to identify the causes with an experimental method involving O.D.S. (Operational Deflection Shape) analysis and model testing. In an effort to find directions for improvement with an analytical method, the investigator modeled the brake system in an analytical manner, correlated it with the experiment results, and tested directions for improvement in an analytical fashion. The structural rigidity of the brake that had been tested analytically was increased so that the generation frequency and structural vibration frequency of brake judder noises would not be contiguous. The parts of high structural rigidity were tested for brake judder noises with a model test and vehicle test.

Therefore the reduction of road traffic noise has established an electronic controller-based noise reduction. CONCLUSIONS : It is shown that noise reduction is effective in the case of pour tonal sound and complex tonal sound below 500Hz by appling to Fx-LMS.
