Abstract
To construct appropriate boundary conditions for wave-based room acoustics simulations, the authors have proposed a measurement method for sound absorption characteristics, surface impedance, and sound absorption coefficient of materials using the ensemble averaging technique. We have also shown the robustness as well as the reproducibility of the results obtained by the method at various environments. The method consists of two kinds according to sensor types employed so far: i.e., two-microphone and PU-sensor. Generally speaking, the method using a PU-sensor is more advantageous than one using a two-microphone because of its geometrical straightforwardness. However, at various field environments where environmental noise and/or wind blowing exist, the method using a two-microphone is expected to give more favorable results. In this paper, several applicational measurements of the method conducted at field environments using the two sensor types are summarized to show the plausibility of the method.
