Noise and vibration from building-mounted micro wind turbines part 3 : prediction methodology (2011)
Report
part 3 : prediction methodology

This brief report describes a simplified method for estimation of levels of structure-borne sound in buildings to which a micro-wind turbine (MWT) is attached. The method is applicable to two specific designs of MWT, each for three lengths of moun...

Some relationships for coupled structures and their application to measurement of structural dynamic properties in situ (2011)
Journal Article
Moorhouse, A., Evans, T., & Elliott, A. (2011). Some relationships for coupled structures and their application to measurement of structural dynamic properties in situ. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 25(5), 1574 - 1584. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2010.12.016

Three relationships are presented for indirect determination of the structural dynamic properties of substructures, namely the blocked force, mobility and free velocity. First, it is shown that the blocked force of a vibration source can be obtained...

In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine (2010)
Presentation / Conference
building mounted wind turbine. Presented at ISMA 2010, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Building mounted micro wind turbines (BMWTs) could potentially provide a useful contribution to renewable energy production but a means of predicting structure-borne sound and vibration is required. A particular difficulty is that BMWTs can only be... Read More about In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine.

On the use of experimental ensembles in a hybrid deterministic-statistical energy analysis method
Presentation / Conference
Clot-Razquin, A., Langley, R., Meggitt, J., Moorhouse, A., & Elliott, A. On the use of experimental ensembles in a hybrid deterministic-statistical energy analysis method. Presented at International Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering (ISMA) / International Conference on Uncertainty in Structural Dynamics (USD) 2020, Leuven, Belgium

There is a clear need in modern industries for models that can predict the vibro-acoustic response of their manufactured products at the design stage. Models based on the hybrid deterministic-statistical method are a suitable solution to overcome the...

Component replacement transfer path analysis
Presentation / Conference
Meggitt, J., Elliott, A., Moorhouse, A., Jalibert, A., & Franks, G. Component replacement transfer path analysis. Presented at International Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering (ISMA) / International Conference on Uncertainty in Structural Dynamics (USD) 2020, Leuven, Belgium

In-situ Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) is a diagnostic method used to analyse the propagation of noise and vibration through complex built-up structures. Its defining feature is the independent characterisation of an assembly's vibratory source in term... Read More about Component replacement transfer path analysis.

Passive acoustic thermometry
Presentation / Conference
Elliott, A. Passive acoustic thermometry. Presented at Internoise 2016, Hamburg

Conventional acoustic thermometry is usually performed by exciting a resonator with a sound source and identifying the resonant frequencies of the system. If the dimensions of such system are known it is relatively straightforward then to determine t... Read More about Passive acoustic thermometry.

Structure-Borne sound characterization of coupled structures—part II: Feasibility study
Journal Article
Pavić, G., & Elliott, A. Structure-Borne sound characterization of coupled structures—part II: Feasibility study. Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, 132(4), 041009. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4000981

A novel method has been outlined in the first part of this paper aimed at characterization of structure-borne sound transmission from a vibration source coupled via resilient mounts to a receiver. It can deliver the source mobility and its free veloc... Read More about Structure-Borne sound characterization of coupled structures—part II: Feasibility study.
