Vibration Insulation Properties of Resilient Bars in Timber Floors (2011)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Fairfield, C. A., & Su, S. (2011). Vibration Insulation Properties of Resilient Bars in Timber Floors. Building Acoustics, 17, 249-268. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351-010X.17.4.249

As effective, low-cost isolators, resilient bars have become the dominant ceiling treatment for improving the sound insulation of apartment timber floors in the UK to meet increasingly stringent building regulations. There are many variations on the... Read More about Vibration Insulation Properties of Resilient Bars in Timber Floors.

An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration (2011)
Journal Article
Su, S., Smith, S., & Fairfield, C. A. (2011). An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration. Applied Acoustics, 72, 241-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2010.11.009

Resilient bars can provide a low-cost, effective improvement to sound insulation performance. They are commonly used in timber-framed floor/ceiling assemblies in North America and Europe. Resilient bars are often modelled as springs isolating the two... Read More about An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration.

Research into attitudes to environmental noise from concerts. NANR292 Final Report. (2011)
Report
Lurcock, D., MacKenzie, R., & Smith, S. (2011). Research into attitudes to environmental noise from concerts. NANR292 Final Report

The purpose of this report is to analyse the results of the social study together with the event noise to determine potential correlations that will help inform the review of the Noise Council‟s Code of Practice on Environmental Noise Control at C...
