OFFER DESCRIPTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This PhD focuses on the method for remote acoustic measurements of large building envelope structures with special emphasis on ETFE cushion systems, and fits in the framework of the ACTAREBUILD<\/a> EU – DN – project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual standardized measurement and evaluation methods for building elements are not suitable for large structured inhomogeneous fa\u00e7ades as glass or plastic curtain fa\u00e7ades. The main goal of this PhD is to find suitable methods for measuring this type of fa\u00e7ades, which would be applicable in both the laboratory and remote measurement in situ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expected steps to be followed during the development of the project are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Selection of the cushion systems to be used. Depending on their availability and the characteristics, the more suitable will be selected. Application of existing methods will be used as a reference measurement. Selection of potential measurement methods will be based on the measurement of acoustic pressure, acoustic intensity as well as the measurement of vibrations of the structure using a laser Doppler scanning vibrometry. For application on large fa\u00e7ades reciprocity principle will be taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Production of scale models scale model(s): Scale models will be used for laboratory testing, which will enable the development of in situ methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Comparison of laboratory measurements with in situ measurements: The developed methods will be tested on real fa\u00e7ades primarily based on ETFE cushion systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Evaluation of measurement uncertainties, uncertainty budget: The evaluation of individual contributions to uncertainty will be an essential part of the evaluation of both laboratory and in situ measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Validation of developed method(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interdisciplinary research is hosted by the Department of Physics – Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU in Prague (Prof. Ond\u0159ej Ji\u0159\u00ed\u010dek<\/a>) and will be done in close collaboration with exchange visits to the Vector Foiltec company, KU Leuven and STU Bratislava (Dr. Daniel Urb\u00e1n). Facilities and guidance will be available at all universities. Samples and know-how will also be exchanged with industrial partners of the ACTAREBUILD project consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
