Characterization of Cold-Formed Steel Framed/Wood Sheathed Floor and Roof Diaphragm Structures

The seismic in-plane response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm structures has not been the subject of extensive study. The information available specific to diaphragm design in the North American CFS design standard is based on limited experimen ...

On the Optimisation of Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Acoustic Impedances of Low-Frequency Electroacoustic Absorbers for Room Modal Equalisation

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Sami Driss Karkar

Low-frequency electroacoustic absorbers have recently been developed as a solution for the modal equalisation. Firstly investigated in waveguides, the technique consists in matching the acoustic impedance at a closed-box loudspeaker diaphragm to the charac ...

Sensorless Electroacoustic Absorbers Through Synthesized Impedance Control for Damping Low-Frequency Modes in Cavities

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

This paper presents a concept of sensorless electroacoustic absorber for damping the low-frequency modes in a cavity such as a duct or a room. Taking advantage of the reciprocity of the voice coil transducer, it is shown that a synthetic electrical admitta ...

Room Modal Equalisation with Electroacoustic Absorbers

Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

The sound quality in a room is of fundamental importance for both recording and reproducing processes. Because of the room modes, the distributions in space and frequency of the sound field are largely altered. Excessive rise and decay times caused by the ...

Design considerations to enhance the performances of thin circular piezoelectric energy harvester diaphragms in harsh liquid environments

Nico de Rooij

Thin circular piezoelectric energy harvester diaphragms undergoing large deflection in a harsh liquid environment are investigated in this paper. A material set combining AlN as transducer, SiC as electronics, Mo as wiring and Si as holder is considered. A ...

Electroacoustic metamaterials: achieving negative acoustic properties with shunt loudspeakers

Hervé Lissek

Acoustic metamaterials constitute a new class of structures that exhibit acoustic properties not readily available in nature. These properties can be a negative mass density, expressing the opposition of the acceleration of a particle to the application of ...

Advanced control for modifying the acoustic impedance at the diaphragm of a loudspeaker

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

The control of low-frequency sound fields can be addressed efficiently through acoustic impedance matching. Basically, the diaphragm of electroacoustic transducers are used as refracting surface that controls the reaction of the boundaries in any surroundi ...

On the damping of room resonances with electroacoustic absorbers in the low frequency range

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

In closed spaces, standing waves occur at low frequencies, thus creating annoying acoustic resonances. Such unwanted phenomena are likely to affect the annoyance of noise sources in the low frequency range. Up to date, low-frwquency treatments are mainly b ...

Study on room modal equalization at low frequencies with electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

Nowadays, requirements for acoustic treatments in rooms are ever more demanding in terms of performance and compactness. A recurring issue in closed spaces is the occurrence of standing waves and acoustic interferences at low frequencies. These unwanted ph ...
