Acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) offer innovative solutions for physics and engineering problems, allowing lighter, multiphysics, sustainable systems. They are usually studied analytically or numerically then tested on prototypes. For this reason, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques a popular way of quickly realising AMMs' geometrical designs. However, AM parameters often standardised without considering the specific issues each AMM shape, leading to possible mismatch between analytical (or...
Phase change materials (PCMs) are classified according to their phase process, temperature, and composition. The utilization of PCMs lies mainly in the field solar energy building applications as well industrial processes. main advantage such is use latent heat, which allows storage a large amount thermal with small temperature variation, improving efficiency system. study using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) widespread has been documented several papers, following tendency that CFD...
The measurement of impulse responses inside a room or theatre is critical task in architectural acoustics. are usually measured using either Exponential Sine Sweep (ESS) Maximum Length Sequence (MLS) signals. theory behind MLS generation and use well developed does not involve computational problems. When non-linear system measured, the distortion appears deconvolved response as series peaks distributed over time, deterministic positions. In case presence noise during measurement, phase any...
The increase in new infrastructure development has raised closer attention to the environmental noise of expansion areas. This study investigates urban evolution Terracini Street’s surrounding area Navile district, Bologna, Italy. In last 20 years, this undergone various transformations, from a suburban industrial university and residential one. First, morphologic infrastructural characteristics site are established. Then, existing regulations (acoustic, urban, regulations, whether local or...
In the frame of 1994-1997 Standard, Measurement and Testing program, European Commission funded a research project, named Adrienne, to define new test methods for measuring intrinsic characteristics road traffic noise reducing devices in situ. The team produced innovative testing sound reflection/absorption airborne insulation barriers. These are now under consideration at CEN (European Committee Standardization), become standards. present work reports detailed verification method over...
The measurement method employed for the estimation of intrinsic acoustic characteristics noise barriers installed along European highways is outlined in EN 1793-5 and 1793-6 standards, commonly named “Adrienne method”. This has been shown to have repeatability reproducibility comparable or better than laboratory methods. However, its correct application requires skilled operators managing with great care equipment on site, thus limiting number measurements made a working day different...
Sound quality in urban spaces is not only a matter of limit values for noise levels but also key to human physical and psychological well-being, which makes it challenge the latest data analysis techniques [...]
This document provides a comprehensive overview of in-field measurements acoustic and environmental conditions in three university lecture halls, focusing on their impact student activity levels. The study, conducted at the University Bologna, aims to measure (SA) levels under unfavorable comfort conditions: high occupancy density, low teacher intelligibility, absence ventilation. show that, these conditions, level is neither correlated with room’s thermo-hygrometric nor results, other hand,...
Abstract Today, acoustic metamaterials form a core area of metamaterial research. They offer bespoke wave control, achievable through their rationally designed structure and are at the forefront applications commercialisation. find purpose across science defence sectors in filtering, sensing, communications, energy harvesting, thermal emission aeroacoustics, to name but few. enjoy success metropolitan environments with designer audio noise mitigation falling within remit; technologies...
Sound absorbing micro-perforated panels (MPPs) are being increasingly used because of their high quality in terms hygiene, sustainability and durability. The present work investigates the feasibility performance MPPs when as an acoustic treatment lecture rooms. With this purpose, three different steel specimens were first designed following existing predictive models then physically manufactured through 3D additive metal printing. specimens’ behavior was analyzed with experimental...
Inside open-plan offices, background noise affects the workers' comfort, influencing their productivity. Recent approaches identify three main source categories: mechanical sources (air conditioning equipment, office devices, etc.), outdoor traffic noise, and human (speech). Whereas first two groups are taken into account by technical specifications, is still often neglected. The present paper proposes procedures, based on machine-learning techniques, to during working hours. Two...
Acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) are designed with complex geometrical shapes to obtain unconventional sound-absorbing performances. As additive manufacturing is particularly suited print structures in a more straightforward and controllable way, AMMs often exploit three-dimensional (3-D) printing techniques. However, when exposed different temperature conditions, such can be affected by deformations, especially they polymer-based. This cause mismatch between the experimental data expected...
