Ground vibration in the vicinity of a high-speed moving harmonic strip load

The transmission of vibrations over the surface of the ground, due to a high-speed moving, vertical harmonic strip load, is investigated theoretically. Consequently, the problem is essentially two-dimensional and the interior of the ground is modelled as an elastic half-space. The transformed solutions are obtained using the Fourier transform on the space variable. A study of a new damping model i

Audio Paper

Audio Paper offers a conceptual and practice-based approach for researchers across a wide range of disciplines to integrate auditory culture into their published work in the form of the audio paper.The audio paper is an academic text presented as an audio production. Introducing this new format, the book invites scholars to work in a publication format that integrates aesthetic perspectives and te

Aspects of computational vibration transmission for sandwich panels

This paper considers elastic wave propagation and vibration transmission in lightweight composite structures. Specifically a spectral finite element method (SFEM) is developed as an effective numerical tool for the analysis of wave motion in uniform laminated elastic media. In short, SFEM combines a standard finite element method in the direction of layering together with analytical solutions for

Influence of strut inertia on the vibrations in initially symmetric Gough-Stewart Platforms-an analytical study

Consideration of strut inertia can have significant influence on the modal behavior of a Gough-Stewart Platform (GSP). However, in the literature, the strut inertia has not yet been taken into account in its vibration study with a parametric approach. In this paper, we present a fully parametric approach to formulate the damped vibrations of GSPs taking into account the strut masses and moments of

Psycho-vibratory evaluation of timber floors - Towards the determination of design indicators of vibration acceptability and vibration annoyance

In timber housing constructions, vibrations can be a nuisance for inhabitants. Notably, the vibrational response of wooden floor systems is an issue in need of being dealt with more adequately in the designing of such buildings. Studies addressing human response to vibrations are needed in order to be able to better estimate what level of vibrations in dwellings can be seen as acceptable. In the p

Fault diagnosis of a vacuum cleaner motor by means of sound analysis

Achieving high quality standards and 100% defect-free deliverables is becoming a trend among manufacturers of household appliances. In that respect, thorough and reliable end-tests represent an important step towards this goal. This paper deals with the design of end-test procedures for vacuum cleaner motors based on sound analysis. It is well known that sound carries important information about t

Interview with artistic director Bettina Wackernagel in the framework of the 10th anniversary of the festival Heroines of Sound Festival Berlin about women in electronic music today and in the past

The Disturbance by Road Traffic Noise of the Sleep of Young Male Adults as Recorded in the Home

Primary effects of road traffic noise on sleep, as derived from EEG, EOG, and EMG, were studied for seven young males (aged 21–27) in their homes along roads with heavy traffic during the night. A more quiet experimental condition was obtained by mounting sound-insulating material in the window openings, thus reducing the interiors noise level by an average of 8 dB(A). The present investigation sh

We have always been modular : Modularity as production paradigm for music in platform society

The chapter examines and draws comparisons between modularity as a foundational production paradigm across code, platform society and electronic music production. It delves into the evolving landscape of music production within the context of platformization, highlighting the growing prevalence of modularity influenced by genres such as hip-hop and EDM. Additionally, the chapter explores how inter

Reading Spaces : Original Audiobooks and Mobile Listening

Characteristic mode analysis of acoustic scatterers

The explicit connection between the transition matrix and boundary element method integral operators is formulated. This enables the calculation of characteristic modes via eigenvalue problems involving either set of operators, leading to convenient orthogonality properties facilitating scattering analysis, solution of inverse problems, and the design of excitation fields. MATLAB implementation of

Sound Art : The First 100 Years of an Aggressively Expanding Artform

"A brief history of sound art is, in a nutshell, a history of sonic forms of expression that throughout the twentieth century can be traced within music, the visual arts, and contemporary dance, as well as in performance art, conceptual art, and media art. Attempts to capture sound art as a detached and isolated art form or artistic phenomenon have been made, but this is definitely not the approac

Matching experimental and three dimensional numerical models for structural vibration problems with uncertainties

The simulation model which examines the dynamic behavior of real structures needs to address the impact of uncertainty in both geometry and material parameters. This article investigates three-dimensional finite element models for structural dynamics problems with respect to both model and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are determined via laboratory measurements on several be

Learning an interpretable end-to-end network for real-time acoustic beamforming

Recently, many forms of audio industrial applications, such as sound monitoring and source localization, have begun exploiting smart multi-modal devices equipped with a microphone array. Regrettably, model-based methods are often difficult to employ for such devices due to their high computational complexity, as well as the difficulty of appropriately selecting the user-determined parameters. As a

Trance Against the Machine : Transpositions of Aesthetics in Indonesian Electronic Music

This article explores the musical performances, aesthetics, and multi-situated reception of the Indonesian electronic dance music in Europe and Indonesia, focusing on the duo Gabber Modus Operandi (GMO). Since their first international tour entitled “Trance Against the Machine” in 2019, the duo has gained significant attention, especially in Europe, because they are seen as part of a “seismic shif

Shaping Sounds of Future Environments

This chapter presents a speculative sonic process for creatively transforming environmental sounds in response to climate scenarios. Sound and listening are explored for attuning to and expressing changing relationships in landscapes due to the effects of drought. Field recordings undertaken in landscapes of Potsdam, Germany are processed in relation to sources, patterns and environmental states t
