An Assessment Model of Urban Noise Performed Through SIMITR Subsystem
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Modelling the sound pressure levels of traffic noise at any location in an urban area requires a series of steps in order to collect, collat and report data, in accordance with the European Community legislation (Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002). The present paper presents a model performed through SIMITR (Integrated System for Intelligent Management of Urban Traffic) subsystem, including data collection equipment (Sound Metter Level UC2010-2, Weather Station Tehno Line WS 550), software to process them (Delta Log 5, Noise Studio) and harmonised indicators (Lden and Lnight – A-weighted long-term average sound level as defined in Romanian Standard SR ISO 1996-2) in order to validate the results.

The Sound Distribution Uniformity Throughout the Multifunctional Hall „EUTHERPE”
In order to perform a full estimation of acoustic characteristics of public auditoriums there were defined „acoustic criteria” such as reverberation time, clearness index, intelligibility percent, uniformity index etc. T...
The Vibrations Influence upon Strain and Stress States of Long Linear Elastic Bar Type Links of Mechanisms
For long linear elastic links of mechanisms subjected to vibration, the determination of displacements fields depending on the motion kinematic parameters makes possible the calculus of additional strains tensor componen...
Torsional elastic waves in tubes. Improved dispersion curves
In the last decades, there is an increasing interest in locating defects in pipeline from the chemical and nuclear industries using ultrasonic torsional waves. In this paper, the authors are presenting a theoretica...
On the Stability of a Class of Non-Ideal Systems
A vibrating system is said ideal when its excitation is not influenced by the response of the system. When the excitation is influenced by the response of the system, the system is said non-ideal. A new degree of freedom...
On the Vibrations of a Mass Linked by Two Nonlinear Springs with Quadratic and Third Order Polynomial Characteristics
We study the equilibrium positions and their stability in the case of a mass linked by two nonlinear springs. These springs have polynomial characteristic of different orders; one of them is a quadratic one and the secon...
