A dynamic stiffness method to estimate the sound insulation of an arbitrarily installed thick cross laminated timber (CLT) plate (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is no generally accepted standard methodology to determine the dynamic constants of whole cross laminated timber (CLT) plates. Combined with the observation that CLT walls or floors are installed in situ under very different conditions to labor...

Understanding human responses to air source heat pump noise: examining tonal changes and operating cycles (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Air Source Heat Pumps are pivotal in the Government of the United Kingdom's target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges, with noise being among the main barriers to entry and a restrictin...

Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The need to shift to reduce carbon emissions to hit Net Zero is currently driving plans for large scale rollouts of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), due to their increased thermal efficiency and lack of direct carbon emissions. Concern exists, however,... Read More about Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement.

Adventures in High Intensity Acoustic Testing: a Loudspeaker System for Small-Scale Tests (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the space and aerospace industry, there is a need to perform High Intensity Acoustic Testing (HIAT). This aims to recreate in the laboratory, for the purpose of qualification testing, the extreme acoustic environments that designs must survive in...

Applications of a hybrid method to a plate with simply supported boundary conditions (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

* The EN12354 building acoustics prediction standards are based on the statistical energy analysis (SEA) method. In a traditional SEA path analysis, lightweight or heavyweight materials have different principal paths that determine the sound insulati...

Noisy neighbours : towards a hybrid prediction and testing process for sound insulating partitions (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There are numerous methods for characterising sound insulating and impact noise reducing components and systems, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Two of the predominant modelling techniques for prediction of transmission loss through...

Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit system. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 13(12), 1237. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph13121237

The aim of this paper is to determine what non-exposure factors influence the relationship
between vibration and noise exposure from the construction of a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system
and the annoyance of nearby residents. Noise and vibration f... Read More about Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system.

Human annoyance, acceptability and concern as responses to vibration from the construction of light rapid transit lines in residential environments (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit lines in residential environments. Science of the Total Environment, 568, 1308-1314. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.01.121

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of different self-reported measures for assessing the human response to environmental vibration from the construction of an urban LRT (Light Rapid Transit) system. The human response to environmental st...
