As construction noise has become one of the most harmful pollutants for nearby residents, it
is essential to quantify the health impacts of noise exposure to reduce them and reduce the …

This research applies acoustic topology optimization (ATO) for noise barrier design with rigid
and porous materials. Many researchers have investigated the pressure attenuation …

Solar energy solutions that do not require additional space are critical. Noise barriers, which
are built in low-value lands next to noise sources, provide effective areas for PV modules …

Noise barriers are a widely used technical measure to reduce noise immission from road
and rail transport. The simulation-based prediction of intrinsic acoustic properties allows a …

Noise barriers are a critical part of noise mitigation in urban and rural areas. In this study, a
comparison of the insertion loss calculations of noise barriers via the Finite Element Method …

Polyurethane (PU) foams are widely used as acoustic package materials to eliminate
vehicle interior noise. Therefore, it is important to improve the acoustic performances of PU …

A topology optimization approach based on the boundary element method (BEM) and the
optimality criteria (OC) method is proposed for the optimal design of sound absorbing …
