The educational programs of Civil Engineering schools have evolved to adapt to changes in society demands and regulations. Specifically, Civil Engineering curricula in Spain was highly impacted by the Bolonia Declaration ...

The vibroacoustic equations can be solved by means of the finite element method. A discretisation of the structure and the acoustic domains is required and highly influences the quality of the numerical solution. There ...

In this paper, the characterization of metallic studs used to mount lightweight double wall systems is studied both experimentally and numerically. The metallic studs are usually considered by introducing translational and ...

In a complex vibroacoustic system the overall noise or vibration in a given location is the sum of multiple subsystem contributions. From an experimental perspective, the total noise can be directly measured but not the ...

The transmission of sound through slits and openings between cuboid-shaped rooms is analysed. A deterministic model that describes the pressure fields inside the rooms in terms of eigenfunctions and uses the Dirichlet-to-Neumann ...

Numerical models for the calculation of sound transmission in double walls are presented. The finite element method (FEM) or analytical solutions (for rectangular domains) are used for the acoustic part of the problem while ...

The main challenge for models of building acoustics is being able to consider all the geometrical and physical details of real structures with a reasonable computational cost for high frequencies. The SEA (Statistical ...

Double walls are increasingly used in construction. Due to this, there is interest in reliable models of their sound insulation for the frequency range reguired in regulations (50-5000Hz). These models can be either ...
