Finally, the resulting matrix equation is the ISLAE of the second kind and can be solved numerically by the truncation method with any desired accuracy. The near field in the vicinity of the aperture of the ring is presented in the form of\u0000 maps of the normalised total field. The far field features of the ring are obtained and discussed.

The floor impact sound measurements were conducted both with and without suspended ceiling including the perforated and nonperforated panel, using heavy and light weight impact sources in\u0000 a reinforced concrete test building. The results indicated that the perforated ceiling with and without absorption sheet greatly reduced the resonance of floor impact sound by the non-perforated ceiling. However, the perforated ceiling without an absorption sheet did not improve the single\u0000 number quantity (SNQ, rubber ball: L′iA,Fmax,V.T and tapping machine: L′n,w) for the floor impact sound insulation. The perforated ceiling with attached absorption sheet produced SNQs of 2 dB lower and higher than that produced by the non-perforated\u0000 ceiling for heavy and light weight impact sources, respectively. It was also found that the improvement in the floor impact sound insulation after the installation of the perforated ceiling was related to the mass-spring-mass system, rather than the absorption area of the receiving room.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"2007 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82477622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the unified correction method for acoustic refraction (UCMAR) is suitable for the three dimensions that covers several traditional forms. Meanwhile, the UCMAR can consider more general configurations, such as the temperature gradient on both sides of the\u0000 shear layer and the off -axis source in a circular wind tunnel. These configurations are validated through a ray tracing technique and a benchmark example. In addition, the principle of time reverse is integrated with UCMAR.

The paper shows that both indicators can be used to evaluate\u0000 the field performance of base-isolated buildings: the PFIG can be indirectly obtained from local measurements of the isolator transmissibility and some knowledge of the mobility magnitudes of the building structures in contact and the BIGI indirectly obtained from measurements of the treated\u0000 building transmissibility (as defined in ISO/TS 14837-31) and some knowledge of the transmissibility of similar but untreated buildings.

Motivated by the rising field of sensing information in (smart) cities, we present current perspectives and a methodological update on the acoustic-based solution of recognition problems in a complex\u0000 urban real-world scenario. In particular, we examine a static and a sequential approach for the automatic recognition of a cyclist's route between fixed endpoints, the route direction, and the route progress, solely based on the audio data recorded with a cell-phone attached to the cyclist.\u0000 To this end, we introduce the freely available 'Graz Cell-phone Cycle Corpus extended' (GC3+) that consists of more than 25 h of GPS-annotated audio material recorded in the southern urban area of the city of Graz, Austria. Promising recognition results confirm\u0000 basic feasibility of acoustic geo-sensing in an urban environment. The approach's theoretical potential of being generalised to support the solution of position tracking problems on a multi-dimensional urban grid gives reason for the implementation of acoustic geo-sensing methodology in a\u0000 number of real-world applications.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"606 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77089791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The laboratory experiments were held at the slider-model setup, when a granite block slides along a rough granite base under normal\u0000 and shear loads. In the course of experiments we altered the structure of the two-component filler of the fault and focused on variations of the AE parameters. The kinematic parameters of fault slip events in all the realizations remained approximately the same. The eff ect of gouge structure\u0000 on the statistics of AE has been revealed. An alteration of proportion of quartz sand / glass beads in the filler of the fault was accompanied by an alteration of the b-value of frequency-energy distribution from 0.53 to 0.85, and the p-value of Omori law from 1.00 to 2.06. Also,\u0000 it has been demonstrated that the nucleation of a slip event is accompanied by an alteration of the mechanism of AE generation – at the initial stage the 'tensile crack' signals prevailed, while at the final stage – the 'shear crack' signals did. The alteration of AE genesis manifested\u0000 vividly in a corresponding alteration of the emitted waveforms for all the realizations.","PeriodicalId":35085,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica united with Acustica","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88612762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper gives a detailed description of a newly developed sound source system allowing simultaneous monaural stimulation of listeners with infrasound and audio-sound stimuli in psychoacoustic experiments. The sound source system covers a frequency range between 4 Hz\u0000 and 6000 Hz. It can generate infrasound stimuli and audio-sound stimuli up to at least 123 dB SPL and 80 dB SPL, respectively, with inaudible harmonic distortions. Likewise, during simultaneous generation of high-level infrasound and audio sound, residual unwanted modulation frequencies remain\u0000 imperceptible, owing to special design features.
