  1. 1. Sound Insulation at Low Frequencies

    Författare :Andrzej Pietrzyk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Method; numerical simulations; Modal Approach; sound insulation; sound reduction index; low frequency; building partitions;

    Sammanfattning : The airborne sound transmission through building partitions at low frequencies was studied. The definition of the sound reduction index as a measure of sound insulation has been examined by means of extensive numerical simulations in 3-D domains. The simulations were based on the wave theoretical acoustics. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Airborne sound insulation of single and double plate constructions

    Författare :Ulrica Kernen; Gudni Jóhannesson; Waldemar Maysenhölder; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction engineering; : Airborne sound insulation; single plate; double plate; floating-floor; sound reduction index; sound transmission.; Byggnadsteknik; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The sound insulation demands for dwellings and public building has increased over the years as the number of sound sources has grown. From the outside our homes are exposed to noise from cars, trains, airplanes, etc. Noise intrudes from our neighbours and their television and stereo equipments. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The effects of damping treatment on the sound transmission loss of honeycomb panels

    Författare :Sathish Kumar Ramanathan; Leping Feng; Alexander Peiffer; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sandwich Structures; Honeycomb Panels; Sound Transmission; Loss Factor; Damping; Sound Radiation; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Sammanfattning : In the industry, all passenger vehicles are treated with damping materials to reduce structure-borne sound. Though these damping materials are effective to attenuate structure-borne sound, they have little or no effect on the air-borne sound transmission. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Road traffic noise reduction by multiple scattering and absorption mechanisms

    Författare :Bart van der Aa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Outdoor sound propagation; Sonic crystals; Road traffic noise; FDTD; Noise barriers; MST; Porous materials; 2.5D MST; Graded index sonic crystals;

    Sammanfattning : Millions of people in Europe, and even more on a global scale, are affected by environ- mental noise. Traffic related noise is estimated to cause a yearly loss of approximately one million healthy life years in Western Europe, which is mostly related to road traffic noise. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Graded index sonic crystal noise barriers: An introduction to design and optimization

    Författare :Bart van der Aa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shape optimal design; Broadband acoustic lens; Optimization; Outdoor sound propagation; Sonic crystal noise barrier; Graded index sonic crystal;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental noise pollution and its impact on human beings remains to be an important topic in acoustics. Conservative estimations of the World Health Organization have shown that traffic related noise alone causes a loss of approximately one million healthy life years, only within Western Europe. LÄS MER
