Perception and Use of Trainable Hearing Aids by Clinicians and Hearing Aid Users and Candidates
(2016)
Aims
Trainable hearing aids, which enable users to fine-tune their own settings in real-life environments, have been commercially available since 2006. Currently, there is no information available about their impact. This ...
An overview of structure-radiated noise and vibration assessment for elevated rail infrastructure
(2017)
Elevated rail infrastructure has potential to cause structure-radiated noise and vibration concerns during rail op-erations to the neighbouring community. In this paper, an overview of a structure-radiated noise and vibration ...
Vibro-acoustic sources in ground transportation
(2017)
Long term exposure to ground transportation (road and rail traffic) noise is, after air pollution, the main environmentrelated
health stressor in densely populated areas and compromises the quality of life and, indirectly, ...
Application of FAMPRADOP (“Far-range Analytical Model for the Pressure Radiated from a Driven Offshore Pile”) to the far-range cases of the COMPILE 2014 Workshop
(2017)
The cases considered by the COMPILE 2014 workshop in Hamburg defined a pile (length 25 m), a shallow-water environment (depth 10 m), the pile’s vertical position in it, and a force waveform on the pile head. It also defined ...
Setting noise objectives for outdoor events at the Sydney Opera House
(2017)
Unwanted music from outdoor events is considered a form of noise pollution which presents a unique set of challenges for regulators when compared to other environmental noise sources. Unlike noise generated by sources such ...
Quantitative analysis on the environmental impact benefits from the bandwidth-controlled marine seismic source technology
(2017)
A new marine seismic surveying source technology (eSource) has recently been developed based on physical control of the bandwidth of the source elements (Coste et al., 2014). The objective of the new seismic source is to ...
Performance evaluation of a shock wave-based method for supersonic bullet trajectory estimation
(2017)
The supersonic flight of a bullet generates a ballistic shock wave (SW). As the bullet is subjected to both drag and gravity, its speed decreases with the distance travelled and its trajectory is more or less curvilinear. ...
Metamaterial design for middle-low frequency elastic wave miti-gation
(2017)
In the past two decades, meta-materials have drawn increasing attention from researchers due to their unique properties, including wave attenuation with potential application in acoustic engineering. A number of meta-material ...
Sound radiation from the open end of pipes and ducts in the presence of mean flow
(2017)
The radiation of sound from the open end of pipes and ducts is a common problem in environmental noise control.
Examples include radiation from ductwork in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, noise ...
