Quantitative comparisons of resilient channel designs and installation methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hypothesis that different brands and models of manufactured resilient channels have significantly different acoustical performance is common in North America. Additionally, there is ample evidence that improper installation reduces the performance of resilient channel assemblies. However, many of the differences in acoustical performance associated with brand and/or installation of resilient channel have not been systematically researched. This paper will separate the two elements and quantify their acoustical effects for one wall assembly. Results of laboratory comparative testing of different resilient channel types are presented and will include various manufacturers currently producing and marketing resilient channels in North America. The acoustical effect of specific installation errors based on comparative tests of laboratory assemblies is presented. a Email address: [email protected] b Email address: [email protected]

Comparisons of Experimental and Simulated Velocity Fields in Membrane Module Spacers
Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...
متن کاملStress Distribution in Natural Tooth and Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture with Different Attachment Types: A Photoelastic Analysis
Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...
متن کاملQuantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of 4-Imidazolyl- 1,4-dihydropyridines as Calcium Channel Blockers
Objective(s): The structure- activity relationship of a series of 36 molecules, showing L-type calcium channel blocking was studied using a QSAR (quantitative structure–activity relationship) method. Materials and Methods: Structures were optimized by the semi-empirical AM1 quantum-chemical method which was also used to find structure-calcium channel blocking activity trends. Several types of ...
متن کاملPractical Leakage-Resilient Pseudorandom Objects with Minimum Public Randomness
One of the main challenges in leakage-resilient cryptography is to obtain proofs of security against side-channel attacks, under realistic assumptions and for efficient constructions. In a recent work from CHES 2012, Faust et al. proposed new designs of stream ciphers and pseudorandom functions for this purpose. Yet, a remaining limitation of these constructions is that they require large amoun...
