ACCEPTED ABSTRACT ON ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS OF SOUND TRANSMISSION USING STATISTICAL ENERGY ANALYSIS

The review panel of Inter-Noise conference to be held in Madrid in June 2019, has accepted the abstract of a paper entitled “ Acoustical Analysis of sound transmission in a mixed-used development using statistical energy analysis (SEA)”The paper has been written by LSBU MSc student Juan Luis Rioperez Rodriguez  and Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina. It presents an investigation into the suitability of SEA as a design aid in the construction process of developments containing noise-sensitive spaces. The always tricky structure-borne flanking sound transmission between non adjacent spaces is also considered. We hope to see you at the conference and enjoy the paper.
