Effects of sound absorption materials on reverberation time according to their positions in the square plan and high ceiling rooms
(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2021) Kurtay, Cuneyt; Harputlugil, Gulsu Ulukavak; Yaman, Muammer; 36110
In rooms with speech action, subjective and objective room acoustics parameters should be considered in the creation of acoustic performance. In this study, an evaluation has been made over the reverberation time for the speech action of the existing Iraq-Najaf Islamic University Alawiya Conference Hall. Within the scope of the study, the control of the reverberation time affecting the subjective and objective room acoustics parameters has been examined, the relationship between the reverberation time and the surface absorptions of the room have been examined. Reverberation time on existing situation was determined by making in situ measurements. In order to control the reverberation time of the existing hall, the materials selected according to the sound absorption coefficients have been positioned differently and alternative models have been developed. The reverberation times of the alternative models were determined using the ECOTECT v.5.20 computer simulation program used for acoustic analysis, and their geometric acoustics analysis was performed using the ray tracing method. By comparing the models, the surface absorptions have been analyzed to obtain the appropriate reverberation time in room for speech action. As a result of the study, the effects of the use of walls, ceiling and floor finishing materials and surface absorptions on the reverberation time have been evaluated within the scope of improvement for speech action in the halls with square plan, flat floor and high ceiling (min 6 m).

Prediction Models With Multiple Linear Regression for Improving Acoustic Performance of Textile Industry Plants
(Polska Akad Nauk, Polish Acad Sciences, inst Fundamental Tech Res Pas, 2025) Yaman, Muammer; Kurtay, Cuneyt; Harputlugil, Gulsu U. L. U. K. A. V. A. K.
In industrial plants noise is a major threat to the mental and physical health of employees. The risk increases more due to the presence of high noise sources and the presence of too many employees in textile industry plants. This paper aims to predict the consequences of variables that may arise in the plants for acoustic improvement in textile industry plants. For this purpose, scenario plants have been created according to architectural properties and source-transmission path-receiver characteristics. The acoustic analyses of the scenario plants were performed in the ODEON Auditorium, and A-weighted sound pressure level (LA), noise reduction (NR), and reverberation time (RT) were determined. From the data, prediction equations were created with a multiple linear regression (MLR) model. To test the prediction equations, acoustic measurements were made, and acoustics improvements were carried out at a textile industry plant located in Turkiye. When the obtained results, the success, validity, and reliability of the prediction method are provided. In conclusion, the effect of architectural properties and the surface absorption on acoustic improvements in the textile industry was revealed. It was emphasized that prediction methods can be used to determine the effectiveness of interventions that can be applied in different facilities and can be improved in future studies.
