Approximation of single equivalent mobilities of timber joist floors.

  • To estimate the structure-borne sound power of vibrational active machines or components two source quantities, corresponding to the source activity and mobility, and one receiver quantity, the mobility, are usually required. A practical, laboratory-based measurement procedure for the characterisation of mechanical installations has recently been proposed, which yields single equivalent values of source strength and source mobility. In order to predict the power in the installed condition, an estimate of the receiver mobility also is required, again, for practical reasons, in the form of a single equivalent value. This paper considers the single equivalent receiver mobilities for lightweight building structures - timber joist floors. The value obtained is in the form of the average magnitude of the effective mobilities over the contact points. A simple prediction method is proposed for point- and transfer mobilities (both are required to yield the effective mobility at each contact) based on infinite beam and infinite plate behaviour. Estimates for point-, transfer- and single equivalent receiver mobilities are discussed and compared with measured data.
