Noise and Sonic Boom Impact Technology: Effects of Aircraft Noise and Sonic Booms on Structures: An Assessment of the Current State-of-Knowledge
Abstract
A comprehensive literature search was performed regarding the effect of aircraft noise and sonic boom on structures. The initial phase of this search identified approximately 2,500 citations that were reviewed for suitability for the Assessment System for Aircraft Noise (Asan); 635 citations were selected for inclusion in the ASAN citation database. Of those citations included, 144 were identified to be of sufficient importance to include abstracts in the database. Critical reviews for 40 citations appear within the database; 4 of these citations are controversial and were reviewed by three independent reviewers. The remaining articles cover the following topics: conventional structures, cumulative damage, terrain effects, metastructural effects, unconventional structures, and low frequency noise effects. This report documents the methodology used to develop the database. In addition, it presents a synopsis of what is known about the effects of aircraft noise and sonic boom on structures, and identifies the technology gaps for each of the listed topics. Keywords: Database; Structures; Sonic boom; Structural damage.
