SOUND INSULATION PROPERTIES OF TIMBER FRAME: SIMULATION AND COMPARISON OF RESULTS

In literature, there is an extensive treatment of material characterization in the acoustic field for
timber frame and new sustainable materials for insulation. From this, it is possible to identify ranges
for each parameter useful for simulation. Indeed, many authors rely on either data from previous
works or data obtained from laboratory tests. However, the intervals of values for the parameters in
the acoustic field is quite wide. The ranges identified by a literature study will be simulated for the
same timber construction element under the same conditions. Then, by varying each parameter
within the corresponding range, the results will be compared to understand how the variation of material
characterization affects the simulation phase and the final results.
