A transient boundary element method for acoustic scattering from mixed regular and thin rigid bodies (2009)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2009). A transient boundary element method for acoustic scattering from mixed regular and thin rigid bodies. Acta acustica united with Acustica, 95(4), 678-689. https://doi.org/10.3813/AAA.918196

Boundary Element Methods (BEMs) may be used to predict the scattering of sound by obstacles, which has accelerated the prototyping of new room acoustic treatments such as diffusers. Unlike the more popular frequency domain method, the time domain BE... Read More about A transient boundary element method for acoustic scattering from mixed regular and thin rigid bodies.

Blind estimation of room acoustic parameters from speech and music signals (2009)
Thesis
Kendrick, P. Blind estimation of room acoustic parameters from speech and music signals. (Thesis). University of Salford

The acoustic character of a space is often quantified using objective room acoustic parameters. The measurement of these parameters is difficult in occupied conditions and thus measurements are usually performed when the space is un-occupied. This is...

Acoustic absorbers and diffusers: theory, design and application (2009)
Book
Cox, T., & D'Antonio, P. (2009). Acoustic absorbers and diffusers: theory, design and application. Routledge Taylor & Francis

Absorbers and diffusers are two of the main design tools for altering the acoustic conditions of rooms, semi-enclosed spaces and the outdoor environment. Their correct use is important for delivering high quality acoustics. Unique and authorit... Read More about Acoustic absorbers and diffusers: theory, design and application.
