The open porosity of air-saturated acoustical porous materials is estimated from the low-frequency or high-frequency asymptotes of the real part of the dynamic bulk modulus. Combining this technique with the estimation of the static air-flow resistivity from the low-frequency asymptote of the imaginary part of the dynamic mass density and the analytical inversions of the remaining parameters from the dynamic mass density and bulk modulus [methods introduced by Panneton and Olny, J. Acoust.

This paper deals with a numerical procedure to identify the acoustical parameters of road pavement from surface impedance measurements. This procedure comprises three steps. First, a suitable equivalent fluid model for the acoustical properties porous media is chosen, the variation ranges for the model parameters are set, and a sensitivity analysis for this model is performed.

Hemp concrete is an attractive alternative to traditional materials used in building construction. It has a very low environmental impact, and it is characterized by high thermal insulation. Hemp aggregate particles are parallelepiped in shape and can be organized in a plurality of ways to create a considerable proportion of open pores with a complex connectivity pattern, the acoustical properties of which have never been examined systematically.
