Abstract
The vibration reduction index Kij, measured in accordance with ISO 10848, is used to assess the attenuation of vibration transmissions at junctions between structural elements. In particular, it is used to compare the performance of different junctions or as input data for predictive calculations in the ISO 12354 standards series.
However, this measurement can be affected by parasitic airborne noise generated by the excitation source and acoustic radiation from the excited wall, leading to an underestimation of Kij, particularly for high-performance junctions such as those incorporating resilient strips.
This article presents the results of numerical simulations based on the finite element method and experimental measurements carried out on two CLT mock-ups in two laboratories, one in Italy and the other in Belgium. These analyses highlight the influence of parasitic airborne noise on Kij measurements and underline the importance of minimising it as much as possible during testing to ensure the reliability of the values obtained. If this is not possible, a correction based on the subtraction of the contribution of unwanted airborne noise can be applied to improve the accuracy of the results.
The conclusions of this study are generalizable to any type of construction element and also to in situ measurements. The issue of incorporating parasitic airborne transmission into the predictive calculations of ISO 12354 standards is therefore raised, particularly when the construction elements of junctions incorporating a resilient strip are not combined with a lining or floating screed.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
