The acoustic polar scan: a novel sonic probe for the characterization of lightweight wood panels Ghent University
Lightweight wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) offer an alternative to concrete or masonry walls, as they present an economical solution with several advantages such as easy and fast assembly and good fire resistance. On the downside, the compilation of individual beams in different directions gives rise to CLT panels with an increased complexity in mechanical properties, whereas the low mass results in poor acoustical ...
