Applications of computer modeling at Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc
James A. Johnson, Benjamin C. Seep · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2002
Computer modeling has become useful as an investigative tool and as a client communication and explanation tool in the field of acoustical consulting. A variety of in-house developed and commercially available applications is in constant use at the firm of Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams. Examples likely to be demonstrated (depending on time) include use of digital filtering for building exterior noise reduction comparisons, a shell isolation rating (SIR) model, simple sound barrier programs, an HVAC spreadsheet, a visual sightline modeling tool, specular sound reflections in a semicircular arc, and some uses of CATT-acoustic auralizations.
