  3. 2. Attenuation of bending waves in cross-laminated timber panels by using constrained damping layer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik

    Author : Konrad Boeske; [2021]
    Keywords : Wood technology; damping; CLT; acoustic; low frequencies; AkuTimber;

    Abstract : Multi-storey wooden buildings become more and more popular. As the new housing solutions are more accessible, acoustical inconveniences of wooden buildings become actual as never before. Wood, thanks to its high stiffness and low mass, allows to erect buildings at impressive pace, albeit cannot damp low frequency noises efficiently. READ MORE
