Evaluating neutral, preferred, and comfort range temperatures and computing adaptive equation for Kano region
Presentation / Conference
Ali, S., Martinson, B., & Al-Maiyah, S. Evaluating neutral, preferred, and comfort range temperatures and computing adaptive equation for Kano region. Presented at 35th PLEA Conference: Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design: Planning Post Carbon Cities, A Coruña, Spain

Provisions of international comfort standards may not be appropriate for all climates, it is therefore imperative to evaluate comfort requirements of indoor occupants in all regions, particularly where comprehensive standards are lacking. As part of... Read More about Evaluating neutral, preferred, and comfort range temperatures and computing adaptive equation for Kano region.

Measurement of the elastic modulus of homogeneous materials by a bending wave speed method
Presentation / Conference
Esposito, A., Hargreaves, J., Romano, R., & Cicero, A. Measurement of the elastic modulus of homogeneous materials by a bending wave speed method. Presented at Forum Acusticum, Online

Elastic modulus is one of the most important mechanical properties of homogeneous materials. It describes the dynamic behaviour of elastic and viscoelastic materials, strongly affecting both panel modes and coincidence frequencies, so is an important...

Non-cuboid iterative room optimizer
Presentation / Conference
Petrolli, R., D'Antonio, P., Storyk, J., Hargreaves, J., & Betcke, T. Non-cuboid iterative room optimizer. Presented at Forum Acusticum, Online

In small room acoustics, the range from the first resonant frequency up to the Schroeder frequency is dominated by modal resonances and the Speaker-Boundary Interference Response (SBIR). Both are very sensitive to the positioning of sources, receiver... Read More about Non-cuboid iterative room optimizer.

Optimising sound field synthesis using acoustic cross-energy metrics
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J. Optimising sound field synthesis using acoustic cross-energy metrics. Presented at Forum Acusticum, Online

When evaluating or optimising the accuracy of sound field synthesis, it is commonplace to only consider the error in the pressure field that is reproduced. While this is justifiable perceptually - pressure is what we hear - it neglects error in parti... Read More about Optimising sound field synthesis using acoustic cross-energy metrics.

Synergies between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Geometric Acoustics
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J. Synergies between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Geometric Acoustics. Presented at Forum Acusticum, Online

The audible frequency range covers many octaves in which the wavelength changes from being large with respect to dominant features of a space to being comparatively much smaller. This makes numerical prediction of a space’s acoustic response, e.g. fo... Read More about Synergies between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Geometric Acoustics.

Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces
Presentation / Conference
Stewart, J., Nasr, G., Burby, M., & Nourian, A. Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces. Presented at ILASS Americas 2010 - 22nd annual conference on liquid atomization and spray systems, Cincinnati, Ohio

A mobile fine spray unit, utilising a spill-return atomiser has been developed for the purpose of
decontamination within healthcare environments. The unit must be able to spray uniformly onto any
given surface, providing ‘mist like’ coverage. Any s... Read More about Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces.
