Byzantine Churches in Albania: How Geometry and Architectural Composition Influence the Acoustics [PDF]
Buildings, 2022 The Byzantine churches built between the 7th and the 15th centuries represent an architectural typology that has been developed along with other architectural styles.

Architectural acoustics in America to 1930 [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1976 The beginning of architectural acoustics as an engineering science began with Joseph Henry when he was requested by Congress to design a new lecture hall for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Henry's preliminary investigations led him to the discovery of what is now known as the “precedence effect,” setting limits on the permissible time lags ...

An Archaeoacoustics Analysis of Cistercian Architecture: The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey
Acoustics, 2021 The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants.

A low-frequency multiple-band sound insulator without blocking ventilation along a pipe
Scientific Reports, 2022 It is challenging to insulate sound transmission in low frequency-bands without blocking the air flow in a pipe. In this work, a small and light membrane-based cubic sound insulator is created to block acoustic waves in multiple low frequency-bands from ...

Bayesian Inference for Acoustic Direction of Arrival Analysis Using Spherical Harmonics
Entropy, 2019 This work applies two levels of inference within a Bayesian framework to accomplish estimation of the directions of arrivals (DoAs) of sound sources. The sensing modality is a spherical microphone array based on spherical harmonics beamforming.
