Sound is an important part of our experience of buildings. However, architects design largely
using visually based techniques and largely for visual phenomena. Aiming to address this …

A sound diffuser is proposed based on sonic crystals, structures formed by a periodic
distribution of cylindrical scatterers in a host medium, which is usually air. The diffuser is a so …

Abstract The Responsive Acoustic Surfaces workshop project described here sought new
understandings about the interaction between geometry and sound in the arena of sound …

Sonic crystals have been demonstrated to be good candidates to substitute for conventional
diffusers in order to overcome the need for extremely thick structures when low frequencies …

Sonic crystal noise barriers (SCNB) have emerged as a promising solution for mitigating
traffic noise pollution. These barriers utilize periodic structures to selectively reflect acoustic …

A time-domain Chebyshev collocation (ChC) method is used to simulate acoustic wave
propagation and its interaction with flexible structures in ducts. The numerical formulation is …

The aim of this research project was to predict the sound pressure above a wall facing
composed of N parallel rectangular cavities. The diffracted acoustic field is processed by …

[ES] Las barreras acústicas suelen clasificarse atendiendo a sus características acústicas
intrínsecas, fundamentalmente por el aislamiento que proporcionan. El método de medida …

This research project aims to improve the acoustic performance of the rectangular meeting
room through the design of new architectural surface geometries. Meeting rooms are spaces …

La ricostruzione acustica di spazi antichi, esistenti in condizioni molto diverse o non più
esistenti, sta diventando un'attività sempre più diffusa in diversi campi di ricerca. La …
