1. Vibration reduction over junctions in buildings
University essay from KTH/Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet MWLAbstract : Structure borne sound can travel multiple paths from one office to another and choosing to sound insulate a specific building element can be difficult since all the building elements are connected together and form a coupled system. The current approach by engineers when investigating transmission paths between spaces in a building is using a computer model and assuming that the junctions are firmly clamped or free. READ MORE
