Tuning-fork and a card

I have come across on the descriptions of the experiments with the
tunig-forks and a cards: [link] (pages 7 -
11)
They attracted in XIX century. Is the same today?
What about the water waves? Do they attract large obiects?

Sounds like gibberish to me. Perhaps something got lost in the

That is correct, but that lumped-element electrical equivalent network
model only accounts for the approximate resonant frequency of the Helmholtz
absorber. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the effective absorption

Groan. :->)
In the mean time, Angelo Campanella was nice enough to email me off
list with further information. As I understand his comments, the waves
travel into the slots, so the depth of the cavity behind increases the
apparent "surface area" exposed to the room. Angelo also described an
electrical equivalent - the slot opening is a series inductor and the

Hi,
I add one rather new paper:
C. Kuzu *, A. Fisne, S.G. Ercelebi, Operational and geological
parameters in the assessing blast
induced airblast-overpressure in quarries, Applied Acoustics 70 (2009)
404-411.
The list of references is worth browsing, too.

Hi,
There are, for example, some military blasting noise prediction methods
(simple formulas to estimate peak or max levels as a function of
explosive
mass and distance). Methods expect open of buried explosive
blasting at soil surface.
One method used in estimating quarry noises is to measure first sound

MODELLING NOISE FROM BLASTING

carlinsc...@hotmail.com (Scotty) — Fri, 11 Nov 2009 14:50:22 UT

Hi All
I have recently been asked to model noise from blasting activities in
a quarry which has been mothballed. As far as I am aware, there is no
previously measured blasting noise data. It is my understanding that
this is impossible. Does anyone know differently?
It is my understanding that to do any sort of modelling of blast noise

Im making a scientific work in physics about frequencies relations.
Now i`m studiying about simultaneous and temporal masking, but i can`t
find formulas how to calculte new thresholds. Could anybody help me?
Thanks!
