Nonlinear acoustic and microwave absorption in glasses [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 1997
A theory of weakly-nonlinear low-temperature relaxational absorption of acoustic and electromagnetic waves in dielectric and metallic glasses is developed. Basing upon the model of two-level tunneling systems we show that the nonlinear contribution to the absorption can be anomalously large.

Shape-dependence of transmission, reflection and absorption eigenvalue densities in disordered waveguides with dissipation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The universal bimodal distribution of transmission eigenvalues in lossless diffusive systems un- derpins such celebrated phenomena as universal conductance fluctuations, quantum shot noise in condensed matter physics and enhanced transmission in optics ...

Predicting and auralizing acoustics in classrooms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Although classrooms have fairly simple geometries, this type of room is known to cause problems when trying to predict their acoustics using room acoustics computer modeling.

Process system engineering in biodiesel production: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Biodiesel is fast becoming a popular alternative to fossil fuels, as it is natural, renewable and has low toxic emissions. Strategies that have been adopted to ensure continued growth of the biodiesel industry are policy development, reduction of ...

Angle-Dependent Absorption of Sound on Porous Materials

open access: yesAcoustics, 2020
Sound-absorbing materials are usually measured in a reverberation chamber (diffuse field condition) or in an impedance tube (normal sound incidence). In this paper, we show how angle-dependent absorption coefficients could be measured in a factory-type ...

Sound absorption of acoustic resonators with oblique perforations [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2020
Low-frequency airborne noise reduction is an issue of major concern in most practical cases due to the limiting space constraints. The applicability of acoustic resonators that not only work in this frequency range but can also be tuned is of great interest in many noise control applications such as muffler devices, noise barriers, or building ...

Nanoporous PMMA: A novel system with different acoustic properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The acoustic properties of closed cell nanoporous and microporous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) foams have been well characterized, showing that nanoporous PMMA exhibit a different absorption coefficient and transmission loss behavior in comparison ...

Absorption of surface acoustic waves by graphene [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2011
We present a theoretical study on interactions of electrons in graphene with surface acoustic waves (SAWs). We find that owing to momentum and energy conservation laws, the electronic transition accompanied by the SAW absorption cannot be achieved via inter-band transition channels in graphene. For graphene, strong absorption of SAWs can be observed in

Issues for computer modelling of room acoustics in non-concert hall settings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The basic principle of common room acoustics computer models is the energy-based geometrical room acoustics theory. The energy-based calculation relies on the averaging effect provided when there are many reflections from many different directions, which
