Occupants are active participants in their built environment, affecting its performance while
simultaneously being affected by its design and indoor environmental conditions. With …

Traffic noise is the perpetual form of environmental pollution adversely affecting human
health in urban environments. This literature review, intended for pavement researchers and …

This classic and authoritative textbook contains material that is not over-simplified and can
be used to solve real-world noise control engineering problems. It covers the principles with …

This paper is concerned with sound transmission loss of metamaterial-based thin plates
consisting of multiple subwavelength arrays of spring–mass resonators attached to an …

Lattice truss-core sandwich plates have drawn increasing attention owing to their excellent
mechanical properties and multifunctional characteristics, but they are insufficient in low …

Insulating low-frequency sound using lightweight structures is very difficult according to the
classical mass law. To challenge this problem, we present a comprehensive theoretical …

Recent studies on plate-type metastructures have shown promising applications in low-
frequency sound insulation, as they possess a low-frequency sound transmission loss (STL) …

The aim of this study is to analyze the main parameters that influence the acoustic properties
of lightweight concrete containing high volume of recycled rubber aggregates. To that end …

Locally resonant metamaterials are employed to increase the sound insulation of a host
structure. In orthotropic host structures, the direction-dependent bending stiffness leads to a …

This paper investigates the effectiveness of a sheet pile wall to reduce railway induced
vibration transmission by means of field measurements and numerical simulations. At Furet …
