Transfer of structureborne sound to ship's cabins
conference paper
In the laboratory the transfer of structureborne sound from a ship-like steel structure to cabin bulkheads has heen investigated for three types of bulkhead material: chipboard, plastic faced calcium silicate and steel plates sandwiching a rock wool core. The most relevant results of the investigations are discussed: the influence of the applied materials for bulkheads and ceiling on the resulting sound pressure level in the cabin, the effect of the installation of a floating floor and the effect of the presence of a porthole. Estimates are given for the attainable insertion losses of floating floors on hoard ships.
