Percolation‐Driven β‐Relaxation Enables Resonant Acceleration of Crystallization in Amorphous Phase‐Change Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mobile‐atom percolation underlying β‐relaxations fundamentally dictates the crystallization pathways of phase‐change materials. High‐frequency ultrasonic excitation dynamically modulates this critical mobility percolation network, substantially accelerating the crystallization process.

Effects of sound absorbing facades on the acoustical quality in different simulated inner courtyard situations

open access: yesActa Acustica
Residential perimeter blocks can shield traffic noise, but the acoustical quality may be sub-optimal in the inner courtyards. This study investigated how effective sound-absorbing facade surfaces and balcony soffits as well as an absorbing floor (lawn ...

Parametric Analysis of Acoustical Requirements for Lateral Reflections: Melbourne Recital Hall Case Study [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2013
This paper is an investigation of the Melbourne Recital Centre as a case study to define the parameters necessary for good acoustical quality as it relates to the Binaural Quality Index and determining the intimacy of the hall by its initial time delay ...

MULTI-WAVE ULTRASONIC CONTROL OF CONCRETE

open access: yesНаука и техника, 2017
The existing non-destructive testing system of structure concrete is actually orientated on the usage of longitudinal acoustical waves. This is due to simplicity of technical realization for measuring velocity (time) of acoustical pulse propagation in ...

Acoustical road parameters identification

open access: yes, 2009
Many impedance models can be used for describing the acoustical behaviour of a road. These models rely on some intrinsic parameters (2,3 or 4), which are difficult to measure in the field.

Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Evaluation of Acoustic Parameters of Churces

open access: yes, 2010
The purpose of this paper is to give an evaluation of subjective and objective acoustic parameters in two architecturally different churces in Zagreb, Croatia. These churches have completely different architectural parameters due to different style, shape and volume.

Demagnetization‐Driven Nanoscale Chirality‐Selective Phonon Transport

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral heat flow is switched in a ferromagnet/chiral α‐SiO2 heterostructure by controlling the angular momentum of demagnetization‐driven chiral phonons. When phonon handedness matches the crystal chirality, nanoscale thermal transport is enhanced; the opposite handedness suppresses transport, establishing a magnetization‐tunable chiral phonon diode ...

Holistic optimization of noise barriers from acoustical and non-acoustical parameters

open access: yes, 2012
We present the last results obtained within WP5 "Holistic optimizations" of the QUIESST European Project dedicated to the assessment of Noise Reducing Devices' acoustical performances.
