Active Junction Control and Piezoelectric Hybrid Damping for Improving the Acoustic Performance of Lightweight Structures
Jonas Svensson
- 01 Jan 2011
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated damping treatments for lightweight vehicle panels and showed that combining active control and passive damping in hybrid control treatments can have advantages such as reduced control effort or improved fail-safe characteristics.
Roadway Traffic Sound Measured up on a High-Rise Building–The Sound-Level’s Statistical Normality
01 Jan 2022
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present two new datasets measured in two separate evenings at exactly the same location up in a high-rise building, and will employ the Jarque-Bera hypothesis test to rigorously show that neither dataset is Gaussian.

TL;DR: This scoping review examines indoor environmental quality in residential care facilities, focusing on design elements that support elderly adults' physical and cognitive well-being, using a PRISMA approach to synthesize 126 relevant studies.
Acoustic Performance Evaluation of Precast Concrete Modular Ward Mockup
TL;DR: In this article , the authors measured the floor impact and airborne transmission sounds of a precast concrete modular ward to evaluate whether they meet noise standards, and the insulation performances of light-weight impact sound and airborne sound were found to satisfy most of the minimum standards set by countries of the European.
