Acoustics, Volume 5, Issue 4

For some sound sources, the function of the square of sound pressure amplitudes on the sphere in the far field is an integrable function or can be integrated with geometrical simplifications, so an exact or approximated analytical expression for the...

This study delves into the acoustic environment within dental clinics, particularly focusing on the impact of extraoral suction devices employed for infection control amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The research encompasses a comprehensive investigation,...

Spatially dense operative deflection shapes and receptances, acquired in broad frequency bands, increase the detail in the spatial and frequency domains of the responses of parts in actual dynamic loading, manufacturing and mounting conditions. This...

It is vital to consider acoustic scattering when using geometrical acoustic simulation techniques, such as ray tracing. However, there are few methods for modelling scattering, and most rely on strong assumptions of uniformity on the distribution of...

Digital twins aim to virtually replicate the static and dynamic building characteristics through real-time connectivity between virtual and physical counterparts. Despite its potential, research into digital twins for facility management (FM) in mult...

The Lombard effect is an unconscious reflex of speakers to increase vocal effort when disturbed by noise, aiming to enhance speech intelligibility. This study aims to evaluate the effect of noise with different energetic content and levels at various...

Tonal powertrain noise can have a strong negative impact on vehicle sound quality. Therefore, an assessment of the perceptibility of tonal noise with respect to masking noise is essential for the vehicle development process. In electric vehicles, due...
