This situation often affects lightweight constructions such as timber-frame buildings. To estimate the sound pressure level in a room that is adjacent or distant from the room containing the source, the installed structure-borne sound power has to be propagated across at least one junction in the timber-frame construction. However, at present there are no generic, validated calculation models due to the complexity and the large variety of timber-frame constructions. A simplified approach to investigate and compare the structure-borne sound transmission is to treat the framed construction as a black box and only consider one parameter, a transmission function which is the ratio of the sound pressure level in the receiving room to the injected structure-borne sound power level. To get information about the variation of this transmission function in different timber-frame constructions, measurements were made in both the laboratory and the field. Experimental results are presented showing the variation due to different building configurations and the effect of the excitation position on the transmission function.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchoepferHopkinsMayretal.2014, author = {Sch{\"o}pfer, Fabian and Hopkins, Carl and Mayr, Andreas R. and Schanda, Ulrich}, title = {Case study on the vibrational behavior of a timber-frame structure}, series = {European Acoustics Association (EAA) (ed.), Forum Acusticum, Krakow, Poland, 2014.}, booktitle = {European Acoustics Association (EAA) (ed.), Forum Acusticum, Krakow, Poland, 2014.}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{SchoepferHopkinsMayretal.2017, author = {Sch{\"o}pfer, Fabian and Hopkins, Carl and Mayr, Andreas R. and Schanda, Ulrich}, title = {Measurement of transmission functions in lightweight buildings for the prediction of structure-borne sound transmission from machinery}, series = {Acta Acustica united with Acustica}, volume = {2017}, journal = {Acta Acustica united with Acustica}, number = {103}, pages = {451 -- 464}, year = {2017}, language = {en} }
