IIAV-AFFILIATED SOCIETY ***************************************************************************** THE CHILEAN ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY The Chilean Acoustical Society has been supporting and promoting several meetings and seminars related to the subject of Acoustics and Vibration. One of them was the INGEACUS Conference, the 2nd International Meeting on Acoustics, held during October 1995 in Valdivia (South of Chile) and organized by the Universidad Austral de Chile. During this Meeting several papers were presented on different technical areas in Acoustics and Vibration, especially on themes related to Noise Control. The keynote papers invited were presented by Leo Beranek (USA), Malcolm Crocker (Auburn University), Jiry Tichy (Penn State), A. Calvo-Manzano (Spanish Acoustical Society), Michael Moeser (ITA, Berlin), Samir Gerges (UFSC, Brazil) and Eugenio Collados (USACH, Santiago de Chile). During that Congress, an extraordinary meeting of SOCHA was held and the foundation of the Iberoamerican Acoustical Federation (FIA) was one of the conclusions of INGEACUS during the meeting. During last November a seminar organized by SoChA, Comision Nacional del Medio Ambiente (CONAMA) and Universidad de Santiago (USaCh), took place with the main subject "Road and Traffic Noise." It was presented for those who deal with acoustic impact evaluation in several different organizations and public bodies. At present we are planning for the International Conference of the FIA, and the 1997 meeting of INGEACUS. Soon we will publish the Society's Review. Christopher C. Rooke C.

PAPER SUMMARY ***************************************************************************** AERODYNAMIC NOISE GENERATION BY A STATIONARY BODY IN A TURBULENT AIR STREAM by D.A. Bies, D.J.J. Leclercq and J.M. Pickles of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Adelaide, South Australia As is well known an obstruction in a turbulent air stream may give rise to aerodynamic noise. Curle [1] has considered the case of an obstruction rigidly fixed in space in a turbulent stream and shown that provided the obstruction is small compared to the wavelength of the radiated sound the source is dipole in nature. Goldstein [2] has interpreted rigidly fixed in space to mean infinitely massive on the assumption that the response is mass controlled and he has provided analysis for determining when an obstruction may be considered rigidly fixed in space. The general case of partial rigidity (finite impedance) seems not to have been considered in the literature. No obstruction is ever rigidly fixed in space and at any structural resonance the response of the object may be quite large in which case the assumption that it is rigidly fixed is not appropriate. In the latter case the analysis of Morse [3] for a vibrating sphere, which is small compared to the wavelength of the radiated sound, may be more appropriate but no reference which suggests this possibility and when it might be suitable has been found. However, the question of what model is appropriate in a given circumstance is important since as may readily be shown the same fluctuating force will produce 9.5 dB more sound according to the model of Morse than the model of Curle. In the paper the problem to be investigated is formulated, work which has already been done is reviewed and a new experimental technique for investigation of Curle's prediction in the frequency domain is reported. The new technique, which is based upon work of Martin and Bies [4], has allowed investigation of Curle's theory over an extended range of flow speeds. The new technique is based upon the following observations. When a vortex street formed at the trailing edge of an upstream plate is arranged to impinge upon the leading edge of a small downstream block of similar thickness a very powerful aerodynamic noise source of tonal quality is formed. Such an arrangement in which the down stream block is suspended on taught wires has been used to investigate Curle's prediction of the relation between the fluctuating lift force exerted by the block on the stream and the radiated sound power in the frequency domain for flow speeds ranging from 70 m/s to 190 m/s. The possible effect of additional stiff constraint to motion of the block in the direction of the fluctuating lift force on the radiated sound has also been investigated. The apparent effect of the additional constraint was to increase the magnitude of the fluctuating force on the radiating block but in either the case of the constrained or unconstrained block the measured sound power data tends to agree with Curle's prediction at flow speeds above 140 m/s but gradually to diverge upward at lower flow speeds toward a prediction based upon a small vibrating sphere. In all cases the measured sound power levels tend to be bounded by Curle's prediction below and 9.5 dB above by a prediction based upon a small vibrating sphere. A detailed paper describing this work has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Sound and Vibration but no date of publication has yet been set. References 1. N.

PAPER SUMMARY ***************************************************************************** INNER HAIR CELL RESPONSE OF THE CHINCHILLA by David Alan Bies of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Adelaide, South Australia The question of what the inner hair cells sense is considered with respect to the cochlea of the chinchilla. The question may be treated as a classical problem in fluid dynamics. Calculation of the Reynolds number shows unequivocally that the fluid - stereocilia interaction is viscous controlled and consequently the inner hair cells can only be velocity sensors. It may reasonably be assumed that what is true of the chinchilla is true of all animals. It is generally agreed that the stereocilia of the inner hair cells of the cochlea are not firmly attached to the tectorial membrane but they may be loosely attached. Consequently, there has been considerable interest in a determination of what the inner hair cells sense. For example, are they velocity sensors or are they displacement sensors. Alternatively, are they a bit of both dependent upon frequency. Again, while there is generally no agreement as to what the inner hair cells sense there does seem to be general agreement that an understanding of the mechanics of the fluid - stereocilia interaction is the key to a determination. However, because of the complexity of the problem no analysis has been proposed which can provide a definitive determination of what the inner hair cells respond to although various models have been proposed and investigated. The fluid dynamicist is regularly confronted with complex fluid dynamics problems for which no adequate analysis exists and consequently fluid dynamicists have developed very powerful techniques for dealing with just such situations as confront the audiologist interested in understanding the mechanics of the fluid - stereocilia interaction. In the case of the fluid - stereocilia interaction the key to an understanding is to determine the characteristic Reynolds number. Vogel (1983) provides an introduction to the Reynolds number from the point of view of the biologist. As may readily be shown, the dimensionless Reynolds number is a measure of the ratio of the fluid inertial forces to the viscous forces characteristic of the interaction under investigation. If the number is large then inertial forces dominate but if the number is small then viscous forces dominate (Vogel, 1983). For example, when the Reynolds number is very small, as will be shown characteristic of the cochlea of the chinchilla, one may conclude that viscous forces dominate. Viscous forces can only arise as a result of relative motion proportional to the velocity of the fluid, endolymph in the case of the ear, and consequently, the inner hair cells can only be velocity sensors. The ideas embodied here have been expanded in a full paper recently submitted for publication in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Reference Vogel, Steven (1983).

NEW NASA STANDARD ***************************************************************************** FORCE LIMITED VIBRATION TESTING I have completed a NASA Standard on "Force Limited Vibration Testing" and am now writing a supporting monograph, to be completed May 12, 1997, on the same subject. The subject is: "How to measure and control the force acting between a shaker and test item, in order to make the vibration test more like the field environment." Controlling the force, in addition to the acceleration, basically is a way of controlling the shaker mechanical impedance to replicate the field mounting structure impedance, which eliminates the major source of vibration overtesting. The draft of the standard is currently out for review. If anyone in the IS&V community would like to review either the standard or the monograph, I should be happy to put them on the distribution list.

READER QUESTION ***************************************************************************** ACOUSTICAL MEASUREMENT IN STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS I have the following questions for readers: "Does some of you have experience with acoustical measurements in strong magnetic fields? What are the consequences for the measurement set up, etc.?" I want to perform sound pressure and sound intensity measurements in an MRI scanner. In such a scanner two magnetic fields are generated: 1) a stationary field of 2 Tesla (in air) generated by supercon- ductive coils. 2) a dynamic field which varies in space and time; the strength varies linearly in space with 10 mT/m. At the iso center it is theoretically zero. The rise time to maximum is 0.2 ms, maximum 2ms-30 ms. Both magnetic fields are superposed. Hans Verbunt J. P. M.

DOCTORAL THESIS ANNOUNCEMENT ***************************************************************************** A SCALING MEDIUM REPRESENTATION, A DISCUSSION ON WELL-LOGS, FRACTALS AND WAVES Hereby I would like to announce my thesis, entitled "A Scaling Medium Representation, a Discussion on Well-logs, Fractals and Waves", to all of you I met during my Ph.D. project or who have shown interest in my work. An electronic version of my thesis can be obtained from my WWW page (without password): http://wwwak.tn.tudelft.nl/~felix/Thesispub/ where I included the gezipped POSTSCRIPT file PhDthesis.ps.gz. There are also hardcopy versions of my thesis available. However they are limited in number. For those interested please give me, by email, your address. Kind regards Felix Herrmann. ABSTRACT The main subject of this research project was, and still is, to understand how the complexity of the earth's subsurface is transferred to the wavefield. It was shown that the apparent complexity can be captured by means of a scaling medium representation where the H\"older exponents and the singularity spectrum constitute useful order of magnitude estimates. These estimates mathematically quantify the local and global aspects of the singularity structure delineating the scaling. At this point the question arises whether the current formulation for acoustic wave motion is capable of describing the transport of the singularity structure, displayed by the medium's heterogeneity, to the acoustic wavefield and vice versa. This research project started November 1991 and finished in October 1996 while it is planned to be continued at Stanford, by the author using a NWO Talent Stipendium fellowship.

Passport and Visa All foreign visitors entering Australia must possess a visa and valid passport with an expire date of more than 6 months after the expected date of departure from Australia. Visa applications should be made to the Australian Embassy, Consulate, or High Commission in your home country prior to departure. (Most holders of New Zealand passports do not require a visa to enter Australia.) Participants are advised to contact their travel agent for further details. Departure Tax Intending delegates should note that a departure tax of AUD$27 is payable in Australian currency and is levied on all persons aged 12 and over. Banking, Currency, Local Taxes and Tipping Banks are open Monday to Thursday from 9:30 to 16:00, and from 9:30 to 17:00 on Fridays. Automatic teller machines are readily available 24 hours per day for cash withdrawal. Australian currency uses dollars (AUD$) and cents in a manner similar to the United States. At the time of writing, AUD$100 was approximately equal to US$80. Currency exchange can be effected at the International Airport from 10:00 - 14:00 daily. Federal and State taxes are included in the listed price of goods; there is no additional goods and services tax. You pay the listed price. Tipping is uncommon and unexpected in Australia. It is only offered after exceptional service and may be between 5%-10% of the bill. Remember, it is not expected, so you offend no-one if you do not tip. Getting To Adelaide Adelaide has an International airport with direct flights from Singapore (which is a transit stop for most flights from Europe and SE Asia). Flights from North America, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China usually have transit stops in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne before flying to Adelaide. Many flights in December fill up quickly, so delegates are urged to make flight reservations at least 6 months prior to travel and as early as possible, otherwise preferred flight times may not be available. Adelaide Airport The Adelaide Airport, situated 7 kilometers from the city centre, caters for international and domestic departures and arrivals from separate terminals, which are 1 kilometer apart. Please note that a customs declaration is required at any point of entry into Australia. Further note that the limit of free entry per person for alcohol and cigarettes is: 1 litre of wine or spirit and 250g or 250 cigarettes. Please note that items of clothing and accessories made from endangered species (including snake and lizard skins) may be confiscated. We recommend that you contact the customs or parks and wildlife service in your country for more information. Transfers To The City An Airport-City transit shuttle runs between the airport and major hotels every half hour between 7:00 and 21:30 at a cost of approximately AUD$6. Taxis will cost approximately AUD$15. There is no public transport to or from the airport. City Commuting An excellent free bus service (Bee-Line bus) is available in the city centre and numerous other public buses are available for travel to anywhere in Adelaide. However, the conference venue as well as the main shopping and entertainment centers are within a ten to fifteen minute walk from the accommodation venues for the Congress, so the need for public transport is minimal. Trains also run on a regular basis to the north and south of the city. Food Adelaide boasts a wide variety of European, Asian, Central and South American restaurants which reflect the multi-cultural nature of the city. A not to be missed experience is the "pie-floater" (meat pie in pea-green soup) which is a unique Adelaide delicacy available from a pie cart close to the accommodation venues and necessarily enjoyed only after a substantial amount of Australian beer. Climate The maximum daily temperature in Adelaide during December is typically 27 C (80 F) and tends to range from 15 - 34 C (59 F - 93 F). The minimum daily temperature ranges from 8 C - 15.5 C (46 F - 59 F). Days are mostly clear and warm; on average, 6 days in December experience some rainfall. Sunburn cream and broad brimmed hats are recommended for all outdoor activities at this time of year. TOURS Short Tours The following tours have been organised for Accompanying Persons.
