title = "Using a simulation model to guide a new field measurement method with higher reproducibility for standard floor-ceiling impact test methods",
abstract = "The standard impact test methods for floor-ceiling assemblies defined in ISO and ASTM suffer from non-reproducibility issues. One of the biggest factors of test non-reproducibility is the existence of non-diffuse sound field at low-frequencies which are a part of the standard frequency bandwidth. This causes a disconnect between objective ratings and subjective reaction of the residents. We are developing a new measurement method that will not depend on the room diffusivity conditions and will therefore improve the reproducibility of the test method. The work presented here is a preliminary analysis using a vibro-acoustic simulation model to analyze different measurement iterations. In the future, the iterations that show promise will be tested on real structures and compared with the existing standard measurement methods.",
