Prediction and Control of Noise and Vibration from Ventilation Systems. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Prediction and Control of Noise and Vibration from Ventilation Systems

This book addresses the prediction and control of noise and vibration in ventilation systems and their psychoacoustic effects on people. The content is based on the authors’ research and lecture material on building acoustics and provides insights into the development of prediction methods and control of noise and vibration from ventilation systems, and an assessment of their psychological effects on people.

The basic principles and methods for prediction and control of noise and vibration from ventilation systems are discussed, including the latest developments on flow-generated noise prediction, assessment methods for the performance of vibration isolation, noise control using periodic Helmholtz Resonators, and holistic psychoacoustic assessment of noise from ventilation systems.

• The insightful book on noise and vibration in ventilation systems
• Extends into prediction, control, and psychoacoustic assessment methods

The book suits graduate students and engineers in acoustics and noise and vibration control, as well as in building services engineering and across the built environment.

Cheuk Ming Mak is a professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, specialising in acoustics and building environments. He obtained his bachelor’s degree and PhD from the University of Liverpool and earned a diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control from the Institute of Acoustics (UK) after receiving his undergraduate degree. He has been conducting research on noise and vibration from ventilation systems and their effects on people for more than 30 years.

Kuen Wai Ma is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He obtained his PhD degree in psychoacoustics from the University of Hong Kong in 2020 after earning a BSc degree in physics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His doctoral and postdoctoral research focused on the characterisation, statistical modelling and prediction of human perceptual responses to different types of indoor and outdoor environments.
