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.

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.

First steps towards cross-national transfer in integrating mobility management and land use planning in the EU and Switzerland (2011)
Journal Article
Rye, T., Welsch, J., Plevnik, A., & Tommasi, R. D. (2011). First steps towards cross-national transfer in integrating mobility management and land use planning in the EU and Switzerland. Transport Policy, 18, 533-543. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2010.10.008

This paper is based on research carried out in an EU Framework project, concerning the better integration of mobility management (MM) with land use planning. The objective of the paper is to analyse how, and how far, policies in this field of action...
