- Additional information
- The research was funded by Hadley Industries PLC (Europe’s largest producer of steel sections) to develop an acoustic characterisation framework to predict the Sound Reduction Index (Rw) of stud walls. The research led to the first frequency-dependent numerical model that outperformed classical acoustic finite element models resulting in improved computational time drastically reducing the research cost. The model was used to study and improve the acoustic performance of a range of studs for the European market.
