The principle of operation is the same as that of many orchestral brass instruments. Rather than have a different length of tube for each note, the overtones of each tube generate a range of notes. The frequencies of the overtones of a perfect cylinder and a perfect cone form a harmonic series so a combination of different lengths of tube and MC HUTLEY Read more A CASE STUDY: THE FORTH REPLACEMENT CROSSING A CASE STUDY: THE FORTH REPLACEMENT CROSSING M Buttereld Ove Arup and Partners, Glasgow.

This way of transportation is convenient and environmentally friendly. However, high train speeds bring into consideration some new environmental problems that were unknown for conventional trains. One of the most important is a dramatic increase in the level of railway-generated ground vibrations that can occur when the train speed exceeds the velocity of Rayleigh surface waves in the VV KRYLOV, B LEWIS Read more AIR-BORNE ACOUSTIC. SURFACE WAVES GENERATED OVER A PERIODIC ROUGH SURFACE 1 INTRODUCTION Although the generation of air-borne acoustic surface waves is a problem for noise control and measures must be taken to reduce their effect. surface waves can be used to passively amplify acoustic signals and thereby improve sensor performance. Air-bome acoustic surface waves arise when a sound wave propagates over poroelastic or rough surface where the impedance has a greater reactance than resistance. Vertical to and fro motion of air particles due to sound penetrating the surface couples with the to and fro horizontal motion of air A STRONACH , I BASHIR, S TAHERZADEH , K ATTENBOROUGH Read more NONWOVENS NEXT TOP MODEL? 1 INTRODUCTION Material parameter inversion is a very powerful tool for the acoustic characterisation of a range of materials. It allows for a wide collection of properties to be calculated from a single rapid acoustic measurement with a high degree of accuracy, and can be especially useful for determining the values of parameters that are otherwise difcult or time-consuming to measure. Above and beyond this. acoustic characterisation also allows for some scope into the design and optimization of materials for AI HURRELL, MT PELEGRINIS Read more NOISE, VENTILATION AND IN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS OVERHEATING 1 INTRODUCTION _ A working group has been formed by the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) in response to an identied urgent need to provide guidance on acoustic conditions and design when considering both the provision of ventilation and prevention of overheating. The guidance produced by the group will take the form of a design guide for acousticians. in the rst instance, the design guide will consider only residential development exposed to. non-actionable, noise sources without specic character.

EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE DESIGN OF MOUTHPIECES FOR A THREE-HOLE PIPE 1 INTRODUCTION The raison d'etre of three♥hole pipes is that they may be played with one hand, leaving the other hand free to operate some percussion instrument". The principle of operation is the same as that of many orchestral brass instruments. Rather than have a different length of tube for each note, the overtones of each tube generate a range of notes. The frequencies of the overtones of a perfect cylinder and a perfect cone form a harmonic series so a combination of different lengths of tube and MC HUTLEY Read more

ASSESSMENT OF LOCATIONS ALONG THE PROPOSED HS2 ROUTES THAT ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE GROUND VIBRATION BOOM FROM HIGH-SPEED TRAINS 1 INTRODUCTION The demand for high speed rail transportation has signicantly increased over the last decade. This way of transportation is convenient and environmentally friendly. However, high train speeds bring into consideration some new environmental problems that were unknown for conventional trains. One of the most important is a dramatic increase in the level of railway-generated ground vibrations that can occur when the train speed exceeds the velocity of Rayleigh surface waves in the VV KRYLOV, B LEWIS Read more
AIR-BORNE ACOUSTIC. SURFACE WAVES GENERATED OVER A PERIODIC ROUGH SURFACE 1 INTRODUCTION Although the generation of air-borne acoustic surface waves is a problem for noise control and measures must be taken to reduce their effect. surface waves can be used to passively amplify acoustic signals and thereby improve sensor performance. Air-bome acoustic surface waves arise when a sound wave propagates over poroelastic or rough surface where the impedance has a greater reactance than resistance. Vertical to and fro motion of air particles due to sound penetrating the surface couples with the to and fro horizontal motion of air A STRONACH , I BASHIR, S TAHERZADEH , K ATTENBOROUGH Read more
NONWOVENS NEXT TOP MODEL? 1 INTRODUCTION Material parameter inversion is a very powerful tool for the acoustic characterisation of a range of materials. It allows for a wide collection of properties to be calculated from a single rapid acoustic measurement with a high degree of accuracy, and can be especially useful for determining the values of parameters that are otherwise difcult or time-consuming to measure. Above and beyond this. acoustic characterisation also allows for some scope into the design and optimization of materials for AI HURRELL, MT PELEGRINIS Read more
