Exploratory Acoustic Investigation of Customizable 3D-Printed Hybrid Acoustic Materials (HAMs) through Interlaboratory Impedance Tube Measurements

open access: yesAcoustics, 2023
Acoustic materials are widely used for improving interior acoustics based on their sound absorptive or sound diffusive properties. However, common acoustic materials only offer limited options for customizable geometrical features, performance, and ...

Acoustic waves in granular materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Dynamic simulations with discrete elements are used to obtain more insight into the wave propagation in dense granular media. A small perturbation is created on one side of a dense, static packing and examined during its propagation until it arrives at ...

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

Computationally-efficient rendering of diffuse reflections for geometrical acoustics based room simulation

open access: yesActa Acustica
Geometrical acoustics is well suited for real-time room acoustics simulation and is often implemented using the image source model (ISM). One drawback of the ISM is its limitation to specular reflections, while sound scattering plays an important role in
