Wed 14th June 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be in person (G14, Newton Building). A teams link is also available to join online. Abstract In modern society the problem of excessive noise in residential areas and workplaces caused by, such as road traffic and the HVAC system, is remained as an issue waiting to
Wed 17th April 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be in person (G14, Newton Building). A teams link is also available to join online. Abstract Chaos theory represents a recently developed robust mathematical method that may allow for the quantification of diffuseness by the Lyapunov exponent, and the ergodicity characteristic can be implemented in a
Wed 26th April 13:00 – 14:00. This seminar will be in person (G14, Newton Building). A teams link is also available to join online. Abstract Low-frequency noise is a growing concern in a world striving for more efficient modes of transportation and more sustainable technologies. For example, future generations of aircraft are to use fuel-saving
Wed 19th April 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be available on Teams. Abstract NASA maintains multiple psychoacoustic laboratories across the United States. One focus of research in these facilities is to investigate the human reaction to the noise of notional UAM vehicles. This effort will look for answers to several questions: What does a
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,
