Abstract: A probe consisting of a pair of pressure-sensing microphones is an integral part of most commonly used sound intensity measurement systems. Sound intensity is a vector that describes the average ...

Abstract: In the high frequency range of vibration the Statistical Energy Method provides one of the most convenient ways of estimating vibration levels in structural components. The dynamic characteristics ...

Abstract: Tests conducted on oriented strand board (OSB) webbed wood I-joists with web openings revealed that the typical failure mode was that the OSB fractured from tension zones around an opening, with cracks developing diagonally ...

Abstract: Experimental work was conducted on oriented strand board webbed wood I-joists to investigate the buckling behavior. Both lateral buckling and local web buckling were witnessed in the tests. The two types of buckling were ...
