| Abstract | Floors in lightweight framed construction are periodic orthotropic point connected plate-rib structures formed from orthotropic wood sheathing and a series of joists spaced at a regular interval. These structures are driven into motion by point excitations from people walking, dropping objects, etc. To accurately estimate flanking involving mechanical excitation one must predict the injected power using the mobility of the source and structure, and then estimate the resulting vibration distribution across the periodic floor structure. By examining two prediction approaches - SEA and an analytical solution for an assembly of finite sized plates - this paper shows that the more complex analytic solution gives a much better estimate of the vibration distribution, and is the only method capable of capturing the spatial dependence of the drive-point mobility. The analytic model is then used to identify the parameters of a joist floor that should be considered when designing a floor that has good low frequency impact sound insulation. |
