Paper on detailed modelling of impact sound vibrations in building structures
In our recently published Applied Acoustics paper, we used a method called the time domain nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to model how structures vibrate when they’re hit by an impact source. We focused on a lightweight wooden floor structure made up of different parts with different properties. To make sure our calculations were accurate,…

Building Acoustics coding days
The building acousticians of Eindhoven University of Technology have all been in Hapert (NL) in July 10-12. We have used our time to get to know each other better, among other things by comparing and discussing the results of our personality tests. We now know much better what kind of team we are, and have more…

New paper: Analysing vibration absorbers in reducing low-frequency vibration of a floor-like lightweight floor: Comparison of experimental and computational results
When it comes to constructing lightweight structures, there are numerous benefits, such as using less material. However, one common issue with lightweight floor systems is that they tend to vibrate significantly at low frequencies. This vibration generates a lot of noise in the room below, causing annoyance. To address this problem without adding excessive weight,…

New approach to measure absorption of vegetated roofs
How much sound does a vegetated roof absorb? To answer that question an appropriate measurement method is needed. In our recently published Applied Acoustics paper by Chang Liu, Fotis Georgiou and Maarten Hornikx, the acoustic impedances of greens roofs were retrieved by fitting parameters of a surface impedance model by measurents on the roofs. It…
