Sustainable Acoustic Metasurfaces for Sound Control [PDF]
Sustainability, 2016 Sound attenuation with conventional acoustic materials is subject to the mass law and requires massive and bulky structures at low frequencies. A possible alternative solution is provided by the use of metamaterials, which are artificial materials properly engineered to obtain properties and characteristics that it is not possible to find in natural ...

Sound localisation definition in parametrically and non-parametrically decoded first-order ambisonic systems [PDF]
International Journal of Electronics and TelecommunicationsThis study assessed sound localisation definition in ambisonic systems using two-non-parametric and three parametric decoders, in a two-dimensional format. The sound samples were played back through eight loudspeakers arranged in a circle.

Historical Acoustics: Relationships between People and Sound over Time
Acoustics, 2020 The Special Issue “Historical Acoustics: Relationships between People and Sound over Time” was the inaugural collection of the recently established journal “Acoustics (MDPI)”, so it felt appropriate to give it a focus to history ...

The evolution of the multidisciplinary concept of audience space
Проект Байкал, 2023 In ancient Greece, architects sought to ensure that the sound of the voice reached the viewer’s ears “distinctly and pleasantly”. To do this, they turned to the theory of musical resonances and created a multidisciplinary concept of architecture.

Simulation of Sound Waves Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method for Fluid Flow: Benchmark Cases for Outdoor Sound Propagation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Propagation of sound waves in air can be considered as a special case of fluid dynamics. Consequently, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flow can be used for simulating sound propagation.

Acoustic Antennas for Atmospheric Echo Sounding [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972 The successful utilization of acoustic waves for atmospheric echo sounding requires an efficient antenna, with high on-axis gain and suppressed sidelobes. Existing microwave antennas and optical searchlights have been adapted for acoustic use, and their performance measured.
