This paper computes the sound pressure attenuation provided by thin rigid screens placed on the walls of a tall building to protect the building from the direct sound incidence produced by sound pressure sources placed in its vicinity. The problem is formulated in the frequency domain via the Traction Boundary Element Method (TBEM), which overcomes the thin-body difficulty arising with the classical Boundary El...
In this work, the authors use analytical solutions to assess the airborne sound and impact insulation provided by homogeneous partitions that are infinite along their plane. The algorithm uses Green's functions, derived on the basis of previous work by the authors on the prediction of airborne sound insulation provided by single and double panels. The model is now extended to handle multilayer systems, allowing...
This paper analyses the wave scattering generated by point pressure loads in the vicinity of infinite fluid-filled circular pipelines submerged in a homogeneous fluid medium. The pipeline has a constant cross-section and is modelled as a homogeneous elastic material. The three-dimensional (3-D) response is formulated in the frequency domain, and is obtained as a discrete summation of the 2-D solutions found for...
This work analyzes the wave scattering by an elastic, fluid-filled, cylindrical shell structure submerged in a fluid medium and subjected to the effect of a point pressure load placed inside or outside the cylindrical shell. The shell structures modeled have constant cross-sections along their axis, corresponding to 2.5D problems. A Fourier transformation in the direction in which the geometry does not vary is ...
The acoustic insulation provided by infinite double panel walls, when subjected to spatially sinusoidal line pressure loads, is computed analytically. The methodology used extends earlier work by the authors on the definition of the acoustic insulation conferred by a single panel wall. It does not entail any simplification other than the assumption that the panels are of infinite extent. The full interaction be...
This paper computes the insertion loss provided by movable lightweight elastic screens, placed over an elastic half-space, when subjected to spatially sinusoidal harmonic line pressure sources. A gap between the acoustic screen and the elastic floor is allowed. The problem is formulated in the frequency domain via the boundary element method (BEM). The Green's functions used in the BEM formulation permit the so...
The acoustic scattering of a three-dimensional (3D) sound source by an infinitely long rigid barrier in the vicinity of a tall building is analyzed using the boundary element method (BEM). The acoustic barrier is modeled using boundary elements, and is assumed to be non-absorbing, while the image source method is used to model the tall building as an infinite vertical barrier. A frequency domain BEM formulation...
The boundary element method (BEM) is used to evaluate the acoustic scattering of a three-dimensional (3D) sound source by an infinitely long rigid barrier in the vicinity of tall buildings. The barrier is assumed to be non-absorbing and the buildings are modeled as an infinite barrier. The calculations are performed in the frequency domain and time signatures are obtained by means of inverse Fourier transforms....
This paper presents a set of analytical solutions (Green functions) for the steady state response of a homogenous acoustic three-dimensional space subjected to a point harmonic load or a spatially sinusoidal harmonic line load. The propagation medium is modelled with plane surfaces placed so as to reproduce spaces that vary from a simple half-space to a rectangular parallelepiped closed space. The final express...
