The expression of the total field at any position in the space around the half-plane is composed of two geometrical components and a third one which originating from the edge of the half-plane. This paper takes the expression of the edge-diffracted field due to a sound doublet, as formulated in the Biot-Tolstoy theory of diffraction, BTD, but rearranged for the Dirac-like pulse by Medwin. The present paper presents a development in the frequency domain of the Fourier transform of the exact expression of the edge-diffracted field as given in the time domain. This solution is composed of a serial development, expressed in simple trigonometric integral functions, and which away from the geometrical optics boundaries shows a quite rapid convergence to the numerical Fourier transform of the exact time-domain expression. The presented solution may be used as a good approximation in simulations and in real case predictions of sound scattering by thin straight-edged noise barriers.","PeriodicalId":42295,"journal":{"name":"Akustika","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70178265","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}

Several microphone array designs are considered before settling on a modified Fermat spiral with microphones located exclusively on the axes of the array, enabling the array to be quickly disassembled into a small number of sections, transported to a remote location, and then re-assembled. The performance of the new microphone array is tested against an existing microphone array that was also designed for portability but with a more conventional logarithmic spiral design. The resolution of the new hybrid spiral array is found to greatly exceed the resolution of the conventional portable microphone array.","PeriodicalId":42295,"journal":{"name":"Akustika","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70177884","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 grilles are installed on a newly developed autonomous ventilation system, which is used for decentralised ventilation of e.g., school classrooms. Several supply and return grilles with functional gyroid and honeycomb shaped infill structures were created and subsequently printed on an FDM 3D printer. Based on measurements and analysis of the maximum sound pressure levels at different microphone positions around the system and at different airflows, the combination of grilles with the greatest noise reduction was selected. The research is complemented by other data such as spectral analysis of the noise, measurement of the airflow velocity through the grilles and measurement of the room reverberation time. Significant noise reduction was achieved by using the proposed grilles and further conclusions were drawn. 3D printing technology proved to be a very useful tool in this case.","PeriodicalId":42295,"journal":{"name":"Akustika","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70177590","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 focuses on the study of the public spaces with a large capacity in the Ahvaz International Airport, which are perceived as acoustically uncomfortable. The main reason for poor acoustic conditions is an excessive Hall reverberation, as the measured reverberation time reached 4–5 s at middle frequencies. To overcome this acoustics problem, five square sound absorbing panels were installed on the wall surfaces of the airport lounge and the models were simulated by using EASE 4.4 software. In our research Revebration Time (RT, or main index), three other sound indices including, auditory error coefficient (ALconse) speech transmission index (STI) and total sound pressure level (SPL) were evaluated according to the international standards of ISO3382 and ISO 3382-1. The aim of this research was to introduce an acousticc treatment on the airport lounge walls to enable better absorption of sound to improve the acoustic quality of Ahvaz International Airport. After the simulation, it was concluded that of the five different square panels deployed, Model SA-1 was associated with the lowest sound pressure across different frequencies and hence this panel was considered as the ideal for improved acoustics for the space.","PeriodicalId":42295,"journal":{"name":"Akustika","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70177307","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}

These micro-interval nuances (śruti) are attributed specific emotions or feelings in ancient Indian music-theoretical texts, just as in the European tradition, various extra-musical qualities have been attributed to different intervals or modes since the Antiquity. The purpose of the research was therefore to try to map the psychological aspects of the selected intervals and to verify whether the respondents agreed on them. In contrast to similar research testing tempered intervals, here we are dealing with precisely tuned concords of characteristic intervals of just intonation systems (5-limit and 7-limit just intonation), realized in the form of sustained drones. The results of this research show that listening to isolated sustained concords can induce a wide range of responses in the listener, which are identical or similar for a significant number of respondents. Moreover, in some cases, the reactions to a given interval/emotion combination coincide or resemble the characteristics given by Indian or European traditions.

The traveling wave on the basilar membrane (basilar membrane wave) plays a main role in transmitting acoustic signals. However, slow waves can propagate on the tectorial membrane other than the basilar membrane. If the tectorial membrane waves also progress along the cochlea from the base to the apex, they could have influence on the signal that is transmitted by the basilar membrane wave. We discuss the difference of the propagation characteristics between two types of the tectorial membrane waves and the basilar membrane wave by comparing the attenuation constants. First, we showed the difference of the displacement of the basilar and tectorial membranes between these waves. Then, we investigated their propagation characteristics including the phase constants and attenuation constants. Finally, we studied the structural dependence of the attenuation constants of the tectorial membrane waves.","PeriodicalId":42295,"journal":{"name":"Akustika","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70177653","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}
