Analysis of Sound Transmission Loss in Hybrid Mufflers for Automotive Applications
Abstract: An exhaust system's noise level can be reduced with the use of a muffler. There is general recognition that baffled exhaust mufflers reduce noise emissions and increase the loss of sound transmission. The reduction of sound transmission can be further achieved by inserting sound-absorbing materials inside the muffler. Exhaust muffler systems with strategically positioned baffles have been shown to effectively reduce noise emissions, thereby improving acoustic performance. Baffles divert and …

Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of AR Glass Fibre Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete
Abstract: The plain cement concrete has brittle in nature and low tensile strength. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an efficient choice in construction because of its inherent capacity to fill gaps and flow without the need for external vibration. The necessity of self-compacting concrete can be recognized by seeing the growing issue of a trained labour shortage in the building sector. The advantage of SCC is that it allows for an earlier …

Strength and Compressibility Behaviours of Expansive Soil Treated with Coffee Husk Ash and Xanthan Gum
Abstract: The strength of the sub-grade, the caliber of the subbase and base course, the surrounding conditions, and the characteries of the soil utilized are some of the variables that might impact how long a road lasts. Because expansive soil swells and shrinks in response to variation in moisture content, roads constructed on it are especially vulnerable to early deterioration. Buildings with black cotton soils have experienced different settlement due to …
