Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Expert systems and real-time systems technology have been developed independently. Expert systems have been successfully implemented in many complex applications traditionally performed by human experts. Real-time systems have been successfully applied in areas requiring interaction with dynamic environments control and monitoring applications for example. Merging these two technologies will yield intelligent systems capable of interacting with complex dynamic environments an area in which human operators exhibit poor productivity due to cognitive overload. | Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Sound Insulation in Buildings

Sound Insulation in Buildings

The book explains sound insulation in buildings at a level suitable for both graduate students and expert consultants. Theoretical models are set out for sound transmission in buildings with an emphasis on thick and heavy constructions. Thus the description is not restrained by the common assumption of bending waves which is characteristic of thin plates only. A general description is provided with the modal density in the structures as a key parameter. At low frequencies statistical energy analysis is replaced by modal energy analysis. Sound transmission through windows and facades is represented by a model that allows any angle on incidence including the special case of grazing incidence. One chapter is devoted to the subjective evaluation of sound insulation particularly noise from neighbours and how this can be applied in a sound classification scheme for dwellings. Measurement methods in building acoustics are presented with emphasis on modern methods using MLS signals or sine sweeps. The analysis and estimation of measurement uncertainty is discussed in detail. In a final chapter examples of experimental buildings with high sound insulation are explained.
