Janssen, S.A. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Vos, H. (author), de Kluizenaar, Y. (author)Environmental noise annoyance due to transportation noise in the home environment has been widely studied, and exposure-response relationships have been established previously for the expected percentage of annoyed residents with the most exposed façade exposure level as a determinant. However, relatively little is known about the evaluation of...conference paper 2013

Basten, T.G.H. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author), van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author)A good understanding of the acoustic environment due to traffic in urban areas is very important. Long term monitoring within large areas provides a clear insight in the actual noise situation. This is needed to take appropriate and cost efficient measures; to asses the effect of measures by comparing before and after implementation and to have...conference paper 2012

Clairbois, J.-P. (author), de Roo, F. (author), Garai, M. (author), Conter, M. (author), Defrance, J. (author), Oltean-Dumbrava, C. (author), Fusco, I. (author)Since the early 80's, one models noise propagation, in the early 90's one started to standardize how to measure the intrinsic characteristics of manufactured noise barriers: in 1997, the EU funded ADRIENNE research ([1] and [2]) was a first step, but many problems still remained. Since years, all the noise propagation software are still modeling...conference paper 2010

Wessels, P.W. (author), Basten, T.G.H. (author), van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author)In this paper the approach for an acoustical model based monitoring network is demonstrated. This network is capable of reconstructing a noise map, based on the combination of measured sound levels and an acoustic model of the area. By pre-calculating the sound attenuation within the network the noise map can be shown in real-time. The...conference paper 2010

(author)To be able to assess the mechanical integrity of piping structures for loading to multiphase flow conditions, air-water experiments were carried out in a horizontal 1" pipe system. Forces and accelerations were measured on a number of bends and T-joint configurations for a wide range of operating conditions. Five different configurations were...conference paper 2010

(author), TNO Bouw en ondergrond (author)This study assesses the effects of aircraft noise on residential satisfaction, an important indicator of subjective well-being. A structural equation model is specified that estimates the relationships between objective variables, noise annoyance variables and residential satisfaction. Secondary data-analysis is used to estimate the model. The...article 2010

van den Berg, F. (author), van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author), TNO Industry and Science, Acoustics Department, Stieltjesweg 1, 2628 CK Delft, Netherlands (author)Large weapons, such as armor, artillery or demolitions, create a high-energy blast wave. It has a low frequency content, typically between 15 and 125 Hz, and can propagate over large distances. As a result it is a relative important cause for annoyance. Mitigation measures need to be close to the source for best effectiveness, but due to the...conference paper 2007
