Investigation on absorptive material position in small rooms with finite element method

In order to place absorptive material effectively in non-rectangular rooms, the conclusion drawn by modal superposition method in rectangular rooms shouldn’t be applied directly, and it is favorable to analyze the non-rectangular rooms’ sound field by the finite element method.更多还原
