The Historical Building and Room Acoustics of the Stockholm Public Library (1925–28, 1931–32)
AcousticsThe Stockholm Public Library was realized in two distinct phases of construction in the 1920s and early 1930s, and remains a well-known work in twentieth-century architecture, with a heritage status today.

Physics Bulletin, 1966
H. J. Purkis Oxford: Pergamon Press. 1966. Pp. vii + 141. Price 15s. This book, which stems from the author's many years of work at the Building Research Station, is a succinct review of the acoustics of buildings. The transmission of sound through structures due to both airborne and impact excitation is considered, practical results and design ...

Building vibrations and acoustics
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1973Research on building vibrations and acoustics began at Southampton with a small experimental project to investigate vibration transmission in the Lanchester Building of the university. The project was supported by the Science Research Council as part of the major grant to the University of Southampton which capitalized the Institute of Sound and ...

Uncertainty in building acoustics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008In many countries, legal requirements exist with respect to the acoustical performance of buildings and building elements. Therefore information about the uncertainty of measured or predicted building acoustic properties is urgendly needed. The complexity of the problem becomes obvious taking sound recuction index R as an example: R represents the ...

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
An acoustic building structure configured to be fixed to a framework of a building and including at least one first acoustic assembly that includes a panel of mineral wool and a bearer of the panel of mineral wool. The bearer includes a pair of one lower and one upper section pieces spaced apart by a spacing p and each of which includes a respective ...

Acoustics of industrial buildings
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002Industrial halls have significantly different shapes as rooms for other purposes. Typically these enclosures are very large and/or flat, which means that the room height is usually very much smaller than width and length. Sound fields in these types of enclosures cannot be expected to have an approximate diffuse sound field.

Building Microfluidic Acoustic Resonators
2014Acoustophoresis is getting more attention as an effective and gentle non-contact method of manipulating cells and particles in microfluidic systems. A key to a successful assembly of an acoustophoresis system is a proper design of the acoustic resonator where aspects of fabrication techniques, material choice, thickness matching of involved components,

As the world realizes the considerable environmental impacts of building construction and operation, a strong movement to create more sustainable buildings, i.e., “green” buildings has developed. While energy and resource use of green buildings is reduced and some indoor environmental conditions are improved, the acoustics of green buildings are often ...

The sound of a sacred space is a fundamental acoustic experience of people in a society. Accordingly, cultural conventions play a major role in how this is perceived. To the present day in the Christian Oc- cident, churches are widely expected to exhibit a particularly good reverberating sound. Many sacred spaces are crowned by a dome, which symbolises

Nature, 1928
THE high standard of care in preparation and the wealth of illustration which are such notable features of Royal Institution lectures are paralleled in this volume, which is based on the Tyndall lectures of 1926. The account of the lectures already given in NATUEE (vol. 99, pp. 603606) indicates the scope of the book.
