Acoustic Properties of Cork Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

Green materials can be considered as a valid alternative to traditional synthetic materials. The cork is a green material, in fact it is a sustainable material. Cork can be used to improve the acoustics inside buildings. The systems used consist of cork sheets mounted at a distance onto a rigid wall, with the thickness of the sheet being 1.5 mm. The distances from the rigid wall considered are equal to 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm. The absorption coefficient of the sample was measured in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 2000 Hz with an impedance tube.
