Measurements on Goodyear Elastomer-Coated Reinforced Panels.

Abstract

Transmission loss measurements were made for seven elastomer-coated cord-reinforced panels, one elastomer-coated metal-reinforced panel, and one gum-rubber panel. The transmission loss of each panel was measured at 5 deg. intervals by an 'insertion loss' method at orientations from 0 deg. to 45 deg. measured from a line normal to the test panel at the center. The results of these measurements are tabulated. Reflection from a panel which had a low transmission loss at all frequencies and angles, and one which had the highest transmission loss per inch thickness of the cord-reinforced materials, was measured over the frequency range 5 to 20 kc by both continuous-wave and pulsing techniques. The results by the two methods were substantially the same, and the reflection varied from 2% of incident-sound intensity for the first to 7% for the second panel. Measurements were limited to normal incidence and frequencies above 5 kc by panel size.
