the use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientistsrecently. since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they canbe used in many scientific fields. the main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanismsof sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, prop...

this paper aims to explore some acoustic properties (i.e. duration and pitch amplitude of speech) associated with three different emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference point, all being intentionally expressed by six persian speakers. the primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is any correspondence between the given emotions and prosody patterning in p...

introduction: bnign laryngeal lesions are relatively commonly occurring problems which are often noted after changes in voice. since they are non-invasive and yield objective easy-to-collect data, acoustic laboratory methods are used along with perceptual assessments for evaluation of voice. studying acoustic characteristics is useful in diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders.  with regard ...

Sound measured at various points around the environment can be evaluated by a series of multi-pole sources and their acoustic strength can be acquired. In this numerical study, a method, called the inverse method, was examined to achieve this goal. A variety of arrangements of different sources were considered and the acoustic strength of these sources was acquired. Through the application of t...

  Background : Cement industry has many process units. Basically all of these units can be considered as a source of noise. Since noise pollution is defined based on its offensive hearing effects, the importance of the noise sources depends directly on the number of workers in the unit.   Materials and Methods : An experimental study has been done at Tehran cement factory to recogn...

the current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a naca 0012 airfoil at a chord-based reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. an incompressible large eddy simulation (les) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. the noise prediction is performed by the ffowcs williams and hawkings (fw-...
