Abstract: Openings in enclosures or walls are frequently the dominant path for sound propagation. In the current work, a transfer matrix method is used to predict the transmission loss of apertures assuming that the crosssectional ...

Abstract: Eddy current damping has been widely applied in mechanical engineering; however, its adaptation for civil engineering applications remains rather limited due to its low density of energy dissipation. This study presents ...

Abstract: Random decrement technique (RDT) is a popular time-domain approach to extract modal properties of structures from ambient vibration data; however, it may result in poor estimation results when structural modes are closely ...
