  2. Absorption (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(acoustics)

    When sound from a loudspeaker collides with the walls of a room, part of the sound's energy is reflected back into the room, part is transmitted through the walls, and part is absorbed into the walls. Just as the acoustic energy was transmitted through the air as pressure differentials (or deformations), the acoustic energy travels through the ...

  3. Polyurethane foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_foam

    An assortment of polyurethane foam products for cushioning and insulation. Polyurethane foam is a solid polymeric foam based on polyurethane chemistry. As a specialist synthetic material with highly diverse applications, polyurethane foams are primarily used for thermal insulation and as a cushioning material in mattresses, upholstered furniture or as seating in vehicles.

  4. Acoustic foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_foam

    A close-up image of acoustic foam. Acoustic foam is an open celled foam used for acoustic treatment. It attenuates airborne sound waves, reducing their amplitude, for the purposes of noise reduction or noise control. [1] The energy is dissipated as heat. [2] Acoustic foam can be made in several different colors, sizes and thickness. [3]

  5. Soundproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundproofing

    A pair of headphones being tested inside an anechoic chamber for soundproofing. Soundproofing is any means of impeding sound propagation.There are several methods employed including increasing the distance between the source and receiver, decoupling, using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles for absorption, or using ...

  6. Melamine foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine_foam

    Melamine foam is a foam-like material consisting of a melamine-formaldehyde condensate. It is the active component of a number of abrasive cleaner sponges, notably the Magic Eraser . It is also used as thermal insulation and as a soundproofing material.

  7. Noise and vibration on maritime vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_and_vibration_on...

    These will absorb a part of the vibrations (and the noise) produced by the machines. To control the electromagnetic vibrations at the origin, skewing the electric motor or choosing a better slot/pole combination [3] will reduce electromagnetic force harmonics or avoid resonances between magnetic forces and structural modes of the electric motor.

  8. Side Impact Protection System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_Impact_Protection_System

    Driver and passenger seat are mounted on transverse steel rails, [10] not bolted to the floor as per the standard configuration. [11] In a side impact these transverse rails allow the seats to crush a reinforced center console designed to absorb additional energy. [12] In 1994, [13] for the 1995 model year, [14] the SIPS-Bag [15] was introduced.

  9. Impact attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_attenuator

    Water-filled attenuators consist of containers filled with water to absorb impact energy. They are typically not anchored to the ground, and therefore benefit from easy deployment and relocation using barrier transfer machines and cranes. They are non-redirective, meaning they do not deflect vehicles that impact the side back into the roadway.
