• Observation and comparison of tower vibration and underwater noise from offshore operational wind turbines in the East China Sea Bridge of Shanghai December 14, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page EL522-EL527, December 2018. Underwater operational turbine noise emitted by China's first offshore wind farm in the East China Sea Bridge of Shanghai was measured and analyzed in this study. Two sensors were used in the measurement: a hydrophone recording the underwater sound […]

• Directional hearing and sound source localization by fishes December 14, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3329-3350, December 2018. Directional hearing may enable fishes to seek out prey, avoid predators, find mates, and detect important spatial cues. Early sound localization experiments gave negative results, and it was thought unlikely that fishes utilized the same direction-finding mechanisms as terrestrial […]

• Uncertainty analysis for infrasound waveform inversion: Application to explosion yield estimation December 14, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3351-3363, December 2018. While the acoustic waveform inversion method is increasingly used in geophysical acoustics to constrain source parameters, the inversion results are often provided without any uncertainty analysis. This study presents a probabilistic representation for acoustic waveform inversion and method to […]

• Wave localized finite-difference-time-domain modelling of scattering of elastic waves within a polycrystalline material December 13, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3313-3326, December 2018. Ultrasonic studies based on the first arrived signals are of utmost importance when dealing with heterogeneous material especially to seismology, biomedical imaging, as well as for nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring applications. Numerical modelling of elastic waves through […]

• A silencer incorporated within the thickness of the edge of the door for increasing sound transmission loss December 12, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3303-3312, December 2018. The present study focuses on a silencer built within the thick portion of a door edge and reports on the results of evaluating silencers by determining sound transmission loss via theoretical analysis and experiments on three types of silencers.

• Does the semantic content or syntactic regularity of masker speech affect speech-on-speech recognition? December 12, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3289-3302, December 2018. Speech-on-speech recognition differs substantially across stimuli, but it is unclear what role linguistic features of the masker play in this variability. The linguistic similarity hypothesis suggests similarity between sentence-level semantic content of the target and masker speech increases masking. […]

• A comparison of electroglottographic and glottal area waveforms for phonation type differentiation in male professional singers December 11, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3275-3288, December 2018. This study compares the use of electroglottograms (EGGs) and glottal area waveforms (GAWs) to study phonation in different vibratory states as produced by professionally trained singers. Six western classical tenors were asked to phonate pitch glides from modal to […]

• Multiplicative and min processing of experimental passive sonar data from thinned arrays December 11, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3262-3274, December 2018. Sparse arrays reduce the number of sensors required to achieve a specific angular resolution by using sensor spacing greater than the half-wavelength. These undersampled sparse arrays require processing algorithms to eliminate aliasing ambiguities. Thinned arrays are sparse arrays whose […]

• Acoustic analysis of a broadband spiral source for the simultaneous generation of multiple Bessel vortices in air December 11, 2018
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 144, Issue 6, Page 3252-3261, December 2018. A detailed characterization and analysis of the acoustic field radiated by an active diffraction grating is presented. This is a spiral-shaped source of constant width of the spiral paths and spacing among them, built with flexible ferroelectrets, which is […]
