Underwater communication is essential for marine research, yet saline environments pose significant challenges as electromagnetic waves suffer from severe attenuation and optical systems face scattering. Consequently, acoustic transmission remains th...
The rapid progress of generative speech synthesis and voice-cloning technologies has enabled the creation of highly natural synthetic voices that pose a serious threat to telecommunication security. While most prior studies evaluate human ability to...
Reflection silencers are installed in the exhaust system of stationary combustion engines to attenuate low-frequency noise by means of destructive interference. The acoustic properties of mufflers are experimentally determined by the standard two-loa...
This systematic review summarizes experimental studies in atmospheric acoustics that quantify environmental influences on long-range sound propagation. A keyword-based search was conducted in Scopus and Google Scholar to identify relevant records. St...
Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) are widely used in aerospace due to the advantages such as high-temperature resistance and lightweight properties. Detecting defects within these materials is crucial for ensuring the safety of corresponding structures....
Prestressed steel strands transfer structural loads through complex anchorage systems. During through-anchorage ultrasonic guided-wave inspection, strong reflections generated in the anchorage segment may obscure defect-related echoes and create blin...
Active noise control (ANC) in real-world acoustic environments frequently faces impulsive and heavy-tailed noise disturbances, which degrade the performance significantly and lead to slow convergence. This work proposes a dynamically adaptive distrib...
The use of sound absorption materials has traditionally been restricted to medium-to-high frequencies due to their limitations at low frequencies, where the large wavelength of sound waves imposes rather bulky solutions. However, recent materials and...
Percussion instruments exhibit complex vibrational behavior characterized by transient excitation, high modal density, and strong structural–acoustic coupling. Numerical modeling—especially the finite element method (FEM)—has become...
Dust accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) modules reduces power generation efficiency, and traditional water-based cleaning is impractical in arid regions. Inspired by the classical acoustic phenomenon of Chladni figures—specifically the mechanism...
The study of bubble pulsation from underwater explosions is critical for applications in marine resource exploration, underwater demolition, and offshore engineering. However, the existing research methods have significant limitations: Laboratory exp...
This paper presents a surrogate-based uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework for coupled structural–acoustic systems subject to material and geometric variability. The proposed methodology integrates the Finite Element Method (FEM) with two...
An approximate analytical model for the variation of A-weighted broadband sound levels with distance over flat acoustically soft ground from a source of known sound power depends on the reduction in low frequency content in noise spectra due to A-wei...
Class II biological safety cabinets (BSCs) are designed to protect the user, the product, and the laboratory environment by maintaining HEPA-filtered airflow; however, their fans, alarms, and structural resonances introduce acoustic and vibrational s...
High-frequency transformer (HFT) noise is a pivotal indicator of equipment performance. To conduct a comprehensive evaluation, this study systematically performed testing and evaluation on the noise generated by a 70 kW HFT under no-load conditions....
Aircraft flyover measurements are used to record the acoustic pressure signals generated by large civil aircraft as they fly over a large-scale microphone array deployed on the ground, thereby obtaining the spatial distribution of aircraft airframe n...
Diocletian’s palace with its cellars represents one of the most important cultural heritage sites of the ancient Roman civilisation on the present-day Croatian territory. The cellar complex has been rediscovered only recently and has been prese...
This study focuses on how mesoscale eddies at the Kuroshio boundary in the East China Sea modulate underwater acoustic propagation. Using high-resolution reanalysis data from the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) and validated acoustic ray-tracin...
Enhancing the vibroacoustic performance of underwater vehicles remains a critical challenge in marine engineering. Increasing geometric stiffness is a conventional strategy to suppress vibration, yet its effectiveness in reducing underwater sound rad...
In this work, the propagation of acoustic waves in shell trumpets is explored, and the overtones generated by them are studied. We consider different shell geometries, for which their particular morphology is taken into account. This impacts the fund...
The dynamic nature of acoustic environments—particularly the fluctuation of underwater channels and time-varying target observation angles—poses significant challenges for active sonar target recognition, a problem further aggravated by t...
The accurate classification of infrasound events is significant in natural disaster warning, verification of nuclear test bans and geophysical research. Current deep learning-based classification methods mostly focus on denoised and filtered signals....
