The article presents the model of sound insulation of single homo-geneous baffles based on the Statistical Method of Energy Analysis. The determined frequency characteristics of airborne sound insulation of the baffles obtained from the calculation model with the results of experimental tests were compared. Calculations using the Statistical Method of Energy Analysis and laboratory tests were performed for plates made of plexiglass and acrylic.

In this paper, a theoretical model to evaluate impact sound transmission through a homogeneous wall is proposed. The model which is based on the Statistical Energy Analysis framework exhibits a system with room-wall-room. For the purpose to explore the mechanism of impact sound transmission through a wall, the impact sound reduction index between two rooms are predicted. Meanwhile, the variation of impact sound reduction index with the walls properties are also taken into account. The results reveal that the density, elastic modulus and thickness of a homogeneous wall have diverse effects on its impact sound insulation and can be chosen adequately to achieve ideal insulation values.It provides an approach to optimize impact sound insulating properties of the walls.

Workers in elevated positions must be protected from falling or from the hazardous consequences of falls. Protection from falling can include fences, guard rails, etc., or a restraint system preventing the workers from reaching any point from which they can fall. However, protection from falling can be impractical and in such situations a fall arrest system (FAS) must be provided such that the fall does not cause injury to the worker or to others. This paper surveys prior work on the analysis of FASs including the energy balance method historically used. This method is limited to simple FASs where only one worker may fall. A novel numerical analysis technique for predicting the forces occurring in each component of an FAS during a fall is then described. Results from the numerical analysis are compared with results from experimental tests and with those from the energy balance method. It is shown that the numerical analysis technique predicts forces to within better than approximately 7 per cent, the method being conservative, whereas the errors shown by the energy balance method exceed 26 per cent. The new analysis method is also shown to be applicable to multiple falls.

Coincidence effect which occurs in a certain frequency range will impairs the sound insulation of walls. For the purpose to predict the phenomenon of coincidence effect that is unlikely predicted theoretically by the mass law, the Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) theory are adopted in studying coincidence effect of sound insulation of the light weight single-leaf wall. The comparison among predicted by SEA, by mass law and measured was performed. Therefore, the comparison results show that sound insulation prediction by SEA is more precise and agrees with the measured date. Moreover, the coincidence effect and its effect on sound insulation were predicted by SEA. Eventually, it is likely to select appropriate building materials and configuration to achieve a better sound environment theoretically.

Acoustic enclosure design is a complex problem that involves the interaction of multiple components. Yet the present conventional approach uses a two-dimensional closed-form solution to evaluate transmission loss of acoustic wall. In this paper, Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) was first studied for simple cases of radiation efficiency, transmission loss, and flanking path calculations. The effectiveness of the SEA method for complex systems was then demonstrated through a practical design application to gas turbine enclosure. It was found that SEA was a useful tool for gas turbine acoustic enclosure design.
