Calculation methods for the transmission loss of single,double and triple partitions

Methods of calculating the transmission loss for single and double walls are presented. These methods are developed using a statistical energy analysis (SEA). In principle the methods are based on separate calculations of resonant and non-resonant transmission for frequencies less than the critical frequency, $\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$, of the panels and calculation of only resonant transmission for frequencies equal to, and greater than, $\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$.Comparisons between calculated and measured results show good agreement.A calculation method is also presented for the transmission loss of triple panels for frequencies greater than the cut-off frequency for the cavities. For frequencies less than the cut-off frequency for the smallest cavity depth it is shown that, in most cases, the effect of the middle panel is very slight.
