SUPPLEMENT TO THE DESIGN GUIDE
FOR SHIPBOARD AIRBORNE NOISE CONTROL
The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers has published the technical bulletin Supplement to the Design Guide for Shipboard Airborne Noise Control.
This supplement documents updated information to SNAME’s T&R Bulletin 3-37, Design Guide for Shipboard Airborne Noise Control. The basic approach of the original design guide is continued. The expanded guide contains:
Corrections and additions to the existing Design Guide
Updated acoustic criteria
Current prediction modeling information
Improved source level estimation algorithms
Revised acoustic transmission prediction approaches
Additional noise control treatment information
Databases for measured source levels, acoustic material properties, and acoustic transfer functions.
The supplement is intended to be used in conjunction with the original SNAME T&R Bulletin 3-37, Design Guide for Shipboard Airborne Noise Control. It is not a stand-alone document. The new publication is identified as Technical and Research Bulletin 3-37 Supplement, a 125-page report that is being issued as a CD.
It may be ordered through cpujols@sname.org for $50 ($25 for SNAME
members).
