Abstract

The article deals with determining sound transmission losses in plane structures. The subject is considered from the perspective of a civil engineer. Especially plates and structures composed of plates are dealt with. Equations and analytical solutions of sound transmission are derived carefully. The computational process of determining the parameters describing the sound transmission properties of structures is demonstrated by numerical examples.
