Summary on Grant Application Form |

This proposal concerns three scattering problems in acoustics. Two of the problems are related to prediction and control of outdoor sound and the othe to acoustical monitoring of particulate materials. Both tree belts and rough surfaces offer practical possibilities for outdoor noise control. However the ; of outdoor and laboratory excess attenuation data with predictions is qualitative at best. The third problem relates to acoustical monitoring of dispersion Measurement techniques that are relevant to the process, chemical and food industries deduce the required parameters of the suspension or emulsion measured sound speed and attenuation by fitting theoretical predictions of these quantities. Consequently theoretical models are essential to the acoust techniques. However there are difficulties for existing theories where the concentration is high and the particles have arbitrary shapes. The proposal b and extends the theoretical approach published by one of the proposers (Linton and Evans 1990). Systematic extensions are planned to allow for penetr cylinders, 3D scattering and arbitrary shapes.
