Airborne sound transmission in fluted PVC panels-properties of materials and structures

Abstract Authors present a study on transmission loss and absorption of corrugated PVC panels. Tests were conducted in reverberation room and it has been proven, both theoretically and experimentally, that there is a relationship between the panel type and its transmission loss and absorption. Panel size and thickness was also taken into consideration during testing procedure. Analyses also show that the Hansen model was not perfectly accurate when predicting the transmission loss for some of the tested samples.
