This paper presented an overview of the prediction methods used in building acoustics. The
methods reviewed were based on analytical models, empirical models and numerical …

The increasing motivation behind the recently wide industrial applications of sandwich and
composite double panel structures stems from their ability to absorb sounds more effectively …

In this contribution, a review study is established in order to gather, classify and organize all
of the previous researches on the sound insulation characteristics of plate structures with …

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 …

With double-leaf wall systems such as plasterboard walls, a high sound insulation can
potentially be achieved with a relatively low weight. The accurate sound transmission …

A method is developed for computing the mean and variance of the diffuse field sound
transmission loss of finite-sized layered wall and floor systems that consist of solid, fluid …

This paper presents a hybrid wave and finite element/boundary element method for
predicting the vibroacoustic characteristics of complex panels characterised by an irregular …

The dynamic response of building structures is an essential design consideration in building
acoustics. However, building design is increasingly driven by sustainability goals. Floors can …

In this work, the authors study sound transmission through single-and double-walled thin
rectangular plates of finite extent, theoretically and experimentally. For this purpose …

The computation of sound transmission through solid structures has been of great interest
since the first half of the 20th century. Several prediction methods can be found in the large …
