Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements (2014)
Journal Article
Machimbarrena, M., Monteiro, C. R. A., Pedersoli, S., Johansson, R., & Smith, S. (2015). Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements. Applied Acoustics, 89, 199-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2014.09.018

In building acoustics the measurement uncertainty of sound insulation measurements is traditionally either not reported or reported as stated in the corresponding standard ISO 12999–1:2014. Determination and application of measurement uncertainties i... Read More about Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements.

An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration (2011)
Journal Article

Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prokofieva, E., & Smith, S. (2008, October). Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings. Presented at XX Session of the Russian Accoustical Society

The standard method of sound insulation testing in dwellings is pre-completion testing of separating walls and
floors during the building process. The main disadvantage of this method is that if these structures fail to comply
with building standar... Read More about Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings..
