A method to characterize macroscopically homogeneous rigid frame porous media from
impedance tube measurements by deterministic and statistical inversion is presented …

The reverberation of a room is often controlled by installing sound absorption panels to the
ceiling and on the walls. The reduced reverberation is particularly important in classrooms to …

The acoustic performance of fibrous materials is mainly determined by its airflow resistance,
and it is a parameter of the resistance that the airflow meets through the materials. This …

Nowadays, a large number of materials for thermal and acoustic insulation are available on
the market. Therefore, some criteria need to be defined to support designers in the selection …

Transport parameters play a key role in characterizing the thermo-viscous behaviour of the
microgeometry. Semi-phenomenological models provide valuable tools to establish a …

Spinodoid structures, also called spinodoid metamaterials, are non-periodic cellular
structures that mimic spinodal topologies that are observed during diffusion-driven phase …

Building and room acoustics are relatively modern architectural and engineering disciplines.
Nevertheless, acoustics was also a concern for buildings in the past, eg, in theatres in …

This work evaluates the effect of the excitation signal used when measuring the absorption
coefficient on an impedance tube. This paper aims to offer some guidance on the selection …

There is a considerable number of research publications on the acoustical properties of
porous media with an elastic frame. A simple search through the Web of Science™(last …

The research and development phase of sound absorptive building materials by designers,
engineers, acoustic consultants and architects need tools for fast, inexpensive preliminary …
