Abstract

Ship noise is one of the important factors for the living and health of seafarers, and ef orts to reduce ship noise are actively underway. There are two methods of noise reduction: passive noise Control (PNC) and active noise control (ANC). Unlike cars and airplanes, ANC is not widely used for noise reduction on ships. This study aimed to reduce the noise generated in the engine room by using soundproof panels and high-frequency vibration generators, as well as active noise control (ANC). For this purpose, an experimental model was made using an acrylic box, and the noise reduction effect was measured under four conditions. The experimental results are as follows: First, the soundproof panel had a noise reduction effect in all ranges from 55 dB to 85 dB. In the case of using a high-frequency vibration generator, there was no ef ect in the low noise range such as 55 dB(A), but there was a noise reduction effect in the high noise range such as 70.8 dB(A) and 85 dB(A).Second, when the soundproof panel and the high-frequency vibration generator were used simultaneously, the noise reduction ef ect was up to -2.2 dB(A). The results of this experiment were obtained from an experimental model made of acrylic, and they may be different from actual ships made of steel plate. In future studies, we plan to experiment using iron plate (considering the material, thickness, and structure) used in actual ships. We hope that this study will help to improve the living environment and health of seafarers on ships.

선내 소음은 선원의 거주성과 건강을 위한 중요한 요소 중의 하나로, 선내 소음을 줄이기 위한 노력이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 소음 저감 방법에는 수동소음제어(PNC) 방법과 능동소음제어(ANC) 방법이 있다. 자동차, 항공기와 달리 선박에서는 ANC를 이용한 소음 저감 대책이 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구는 능동소음제어(ANC)와 같이 방음판과 고주파진동원을 이용하여 기관실에 발생한 소음을 줄이고자 하였다. 이를 위해 아크릴 상자를 이용하여 실험 모형을 만들었고, 4가지 조건별로 소음 저감 효과를 측정하였다. 실험 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 방음판은 55 dB ~ 85 dB까지 모든 범위에서 소음 저감 효과가 있었다. 고주파진동원은 낮은 소음에서 효과가 없었으나, 70.8 dB(A)과 85 dB(A)와 같은 높은 소음에서는 효과가 있었다. 둘째, 방음판과 고주파진동원을 동시에 사용하는 경우에는 최대 -2.2 dB(A) 만큼의 소음 저감 효과가 있었다. 본 실험의 결과는 아크릴판으로 제작한 실험모형에서 얻은 결과로 철판으로 된 실제 선박과 다를 수 있다. 추후 연구에서 실제 선박에서 사용하는 철판(재질과 두께, 구조를 고려)을 이용하여 실험하고자 한다. 이 연구가 선박에 승선하는 선원들의 거주성 향상과 건강 증진에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
