Active diffusers : some prototypes and 2D measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Diffusing devices are used to improve room acoustics in a wide variety of applications. The dispersion generated by current diffuser technologies is often limited to mid-to-high frequencies because low-frequency diffusers are usually too large to be ...

Subwavelength total acoustic absorption with degenerate resonators [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2015
We report the experimental realization of perfect sound absorption by sub-wavelength monopole and dipole resonators that exhibit degenerate resonant frequencies. This is achieved through the destructive interference of two resonators' transmission responses, while the matching of their averaged impedances to that of air implies no backscattering ...

Performance of T-shape barriers with top surface covered with absorptive quadratic residue diffusers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A previous paper [Applied Acoustics 66 (2005) 709–730] has shown that adding a quadratic residue diffuser (QRD) to the top of a T-shape barrier can provide better barrier performance than an equivalent purely absorptive barrier.

Constrained least-squares and maximum-likelihood calibration of absorption coefficients in reverberation time equations

open access: yesActa Acustica
Calibration of material properties in room acoustics simulations is essential to producing realistic results. However, the number of available algorithms for calibrating room acoustics models remain limited. This work presents two methods for calibrating

Analytical Expression for Sound Transmission Loss Calculation: An Improvement to the Existing Method after Singh and Katra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An analytical expression for measuring of sound transmission loss (TL) has been developed by using two microphones, an impedance tube and an impulse sound source as a proposed improvement to the existing procedure after Singh and Katra (1978).

Process Parameter and Dimension‐Dependent Mn Vaporization During Laser Powder Bed Fusion of an Fe–Mi–Si–Cr‐Based Shape Memory Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The functional properties of Fe–Mn–Si–Cr‐based shape memory alloys are influenced, among other things, by their chemical composition. Here, the vaporization of Mn, the most volatile element of the alloy, is investigated. It is shown that the process parameters make noninterchangeable contributions to the vaporization and that vaporization differences ...
