While the focus of bilingual research is frequently on simultaneous or early bilingualism, the interactions between late bilinguals’ first language (L1) and second language (L2) have rarely been studied previously. To fill this research gap, th...

This study investigates the impact of emotionalizing sound design on driving behaviour, focusing on the effect of an acoustic stimulus that varies from positive to negative/threatening based on the vehicle’s time headway (THW). Our primary goal...

Considering the lack of studies on the transient vibro-acoustic properties of conical shell structures, a Jacobi–Ritz boundary element method for forced vibro-acoustic behaviors of structure is proposed based on the Newmark-β integral meth...

Different types of resonators are used to create acoustic metamaterials and metasurfaces. Recent studies focused on the use of multiple resonators of the dipole, quadrupole, octupole, and even hexadecapole types. This paper considers the theory of an...

This work presents a numerical study on atmospheric sound propagation over rough water surfaces with the aim of improving predictions of sound propagation over long distances. A method for generating pseudorandom sea profiles consistent with sea wave...

Auditory research aims in general to lead to understanding of physiological processes. By contrast, the state of the art in automatic speech processing (notably recognition) is dominated by large pre-trained models that are meant to be used as black-...

This paper delves into an in-depth exploration of speaker recognition methodologies, with a primary focus on three pivotal approaches: feature-level fusion, dimension reduction employing principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component an...

The utilization of a reverberant shear-wave field in shear-wave elastography has emerged as a promising technique for achieving robust shear-wave speed (SWS) estimation. However, many types of estimators cannot accurately measure SWS within such a co...

Since UNESCO unveiled its declaration for an integrated approach to safeguarding tangible and intangible cultural heritage in 2003 [...]

Musicological and traffic psychology research shows that emotions can be changed by certain tone combinations or sound characteristics and that emotions, in turn, influence our driving behavior. Nevertheless, there are no studies on how a dynamic act...

The partial discharge (PD) event in high-voltage insulation releases energy, exerts mechanical pressure, and generates elastic waves. Detecting and locating these PD events through short-duration acoustic pulses is well established, particularly in g...

Traversal time in the tunneling effect for ultrasonic waves in tapered waveguides is derived considering its analogy with quantum and electromagnetic wave tunneling. If, as traversal time, the so-called phase time is considered, the ultrasonic wave p...

The nonlinear sloshing of an incompressible fluid with irrotational flow in a complicated-shape tank due to horizontal excitation is studied with a semi-analytical method proposed in this study. In this method, the velocity potential function of a li...

This study investigates the application of Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) for crack depth estimation in cylindrical structures, focusing on two approaches: reference measurement and dual measurement. It addresses the challenge of applying UPV to cur...

Acoustic metamaterials (AMs) composed of periodic artificial structures have extraordinary sound wave manipulation capabilities compared with traditional acoustic materials, and they have attracted widespread research attention. The sound insulation...
