The acoustical properties of wood are primarily a function of its elastic properties. Numerical
and analytical methods for wood material characterization are available, although they are …

The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of using a transverse free vibration
testing method to nondestructively evaluate the bending stiffness and strength of full-size …

Transverse modal analysis of timber panels is a proven effective alternative method for
approximating a material's elastic constants. Specific testing configurations, such as …

New types of laminated composites are continuously being developed to meet various
requirements involved in engineering applications. Before mass production of these new …

The objective of this study was to determine the elastic constants and fast identify the modal
parameters of the first nine modes of full-size cross laminated timber (CLT) panel under four …

Determination of the influence and mechanism of constituent units on the vibration reduction
performance of bamboo engineering materials is required to optimize application of these …

The effect of structure on the vibration response was explored for four piano soundboards
with different but commonly adopted structures. The vibration response was obtained using …

Advancements in non-destructive evaluation systems for predicting mechanical properties of
cross-laminated timber appear to have been limited to laboratory scale, reduced sample …

In this work, the vibrations of a structure excited by an impact source are modelled using the
time domain nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, which solves linear elasticity …

The urban environment is increasingly exposed to excessive noise from the environmental
noise sources and neighbours. To address this problem, an acoustically high-quality built …
