We present experiments and theory on the melt dynamics of monodisperse entangled polymers H-shaped architecture. Frequency-dependent rheological data a series polyisoprene H-polymers are in good agreement with tube model that combines path-length fluctuation (like star polymer melts) at high frequency, reptation self-entangled "cross-bars" low frequencies linear melts). account explicitly for mild polydispersity. Nonlinear step-strain transient shear extension confirm presence relaxation...
Metal foams, especially close-celled are generally regarded as poor sound absorbers. This paper studies the absorption behaviour of open-celled Al foams manufactured by infiltration process, and mechanisms involved. The show a significant improvement in compared with because their high flow resistance. performance can be further enhanced, at low frequencies, if foam panel is backed an appropriate air gap. Increasing air-gap depth usually increases both height width peak shifts towards lower...
The sound transmission between adjacent rooms has been modeled using a finite-element method. Predicted sound-level difference gave good agreement with experimental data full-scale and quarter-scale model. Results show that the insulation characteristics of party wall at low frequencies strongly depend on modal field both partition. effect three edge conditions separating was examined: simply supported, clamped, combination clamped supported. It is demonstrated partition provides greater...
