Wed 22nd March 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be available on Teams. Abstract This seminar focuses on the acoustic performance assessment of building components, such as the airborne and impact sound insulation of walls and floors, the flanking vibration transmission across junctions and the sound absorption of building interior elements. A major problem is
Wed 15th March 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be available on Teams. Abstract In recent years electric micromobility transportation, including electric scooters, has seen a surge in popularity due to technological advances and the move to lower emission transport. Although offering a range of societal benefits, such as reduced pollution and increased personal mobility,
Wed 8th March 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract Accessibility to film and television for visually impaired audiences has been traditionally provided through a method called ‘Audio Description’ (AD). AD is a third person commentary which is added to a film and television production to describe the visual layer. However, the addition
Wed 1st March 12:00 – 13:00. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract Over the recent years, it became more evident in soundscape studies realised in urban parks the importance of natural sound sources as a restorative resource for human health and well-being. This study investigates psychoacoustic and bioacoustics patterns of natural sound sources
Wed 22nd February 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract A tympanic middle ear has evolved multiple times among vertebrates, to improve airborne sound transmission. Common features include a tympanic membrane, an air-filled cavity and at least one ear ossicle to conduct the sound vibrations through to the inner ear. In
Wed 8th February 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract In this talk, a new cloud-based virtual acoustics software platform called Treble will be presented. This platform has various functionality relating to acoustic simulations, spatial audio and sound rendering in virtual domains, with applications e.g. in building design, product design, automotive,
