Factorized One-Way Wave Equations

  • Oskar Bschorr and
  • Hans-Joachim Raida

9 December 2021

The method used to factorize the longitudinal wave equation has been known for many decades. Using this knowledge, the classical 2nd-order partial differential Equation (PDE) established by Cauchy has been split into two 1st-order PDEs, in alignment...

Sound Reduction of Ventilation Ducts through Walls: Experimental Results and Updated Models

  • Erik Nilsson,
  • Nikolaos-Georgios Vardaxis,
  • Sylvain Ménard and
  • Delphine Bard Hagberg

12 November 2021

Ventilation ducts can have a negative effect on the sound reduction index between two rooms if they pass through the dividing structure without treatments. The overall sound reduction of a ventilation duct is dependent on several factors including th...

A new vibro-acoustic method is presented to analyze the sound radiation behavior of orthotropic panel-form sound radiators using strip-type exciters to exert line loads to the panels for sound radiation. The simple first-order shear deformation theor...

Underwater Target Localization Using Opportunistic Ship Noise Recorded on a Compact Hydrophone Array

  • Mojgan Mirzaei Hotkani,
  • Jean-Francois Bousquet,
  • Seyed Alireza Seyedin,
  • Bruce Martin and
  • Ehsan Malekshahi

8 October 2021

In this research, a new application using broadband ship noise as a source-of-opportunity to estimate the scattering field from the underwater targets is reported. For this purpose, a field trial was conducted in collaboration with JASCO Applied Scie...
