PURPOSES : In this paper, the measurement criteria was determined by assessing the factors influencing the measurement of bending resonance frequency which is not specified in KS F 2437. METHODS : The durability evaluation analysis of concrete beam specimens was performed immediately after freezing and thawing processes. It is primarily aiming at improving the repeatability and reproducibility of measurement results by providing measurement criteria for various measurement factors that can occur during the collection of resonance frequency data. An independent concrete durability test (KS F 2456) was executed with the proposed measurement protocol for evaluation. RESULTS : A measurement protocol was proposed to determine the transverse resonance frequency of concrete beam specimens. CONCLUSIONS : It was concluded that the proposed measurement protocol may be used for the concrete durability test; where the resonance frequency could be stably collected.

Micro speakers are used to reproduce sound in small electric and information and communications devices, such as cellular phones, PMPs, and MP3 players. The acoustical properties and sound quality, which are changed due to the decreased size of the speaker, are often adjusted varying the type and thickness of the diaphragm. The most widely used diaphragm material is thin polymer. It was previously reported by the author of this paper that the resonance frequency of a micro speaker is changed by the type and thickness of a polymer diaphragm. In this paper, the frequency response near the resonance frequency of a micro speaker was studied as functions of the type and thickness of the polymer diaphragm. While Rmax and RDC were affected by the type and thickness, an analysis of the electrical impedance curve revealed that Ro(= Rmax/RDC) and δf were not changed. Thus, QTS which was function of Ro, δf, and the resonance frequency, is only related to the resonance frequency. The increase of the resonance frequency led to a proportional rise of QTS. The change of the frequency response near the resonance frequency was not dependent on the type or thickness of the polymer diaphragm, but was affected by the resonance frequency.

Information technology devices, such as cellular phones, MP3s and so on, due to restrictions of space, require thin and small micro-speakers to generate sound. The reduction of the size of micro-speakers has resulted in the decrease of sound quality, due to such factors as frequency range and sound pressure level. In this study, the acoustical properties of oval microspeakers has been studied as a function of pattern shape on the diaphragm. The other conditions of micro-speakers, except for the pattern, was not changed. When the pattern is present on the diaphragm and the shape of pattern was a whirlwind, the resonance frequency was reduced due to the decrease of tensile strength of diaphragm. The patterns presented in the semi-minor axis of diaphragm did not effect a change of resonance frequency. However, increasing the number of patterns in the semimajor axis of diaphragm became a reason for the decrease of resonance frequency on edge side. When the depth of pattern on edge side was increased, the resonance frequency was decreased due to reduction of geometrical stiffness. If the height of edge and dome were increased, the resonance frequency and geometrical stiffness rapidly increased. After reaching the maximum values, they began to decrease with the continuous increase of height.

어종의 식별을 위한 음향학적 정보를 추출해 내는 데 활용하기 위한 초음파 변환기를 설계하기 위한 시도의 하나로꺼 전극분할 원반형 압전진동자를 이용하여 공진주파기를 가변시켜 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 사용할 수 있는 어군탐지기용 송.수파기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 초음파 변환기는 전극분할형 압전진동자의 한쪽 전극에 발전기를 접속하고, 다른 쪽 전국에 2.7~15.0 mH 인덕턴스를 접속하였을 때, 경방향에 대한 공진 주파스는 49.5~ 55.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬 수 있었고, 또한 외부에서 진동자에 인가한 임피던스의 영향에 의해 출현하는 공진주파수에는 61.3~121.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬수 있었다. 그러나, 이들 주파수에 대한 전기음향효율을 고려 할때, 실제로 활용할 수 있는 주파수 범위는 이것보다 훨씬 좁은 폭이 될 것이라 판단된다.
