Development of an equivalent solid model to predict the vibroacoustic behaviour of earmuff cushions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A study that examines the relevance of using an equivalent isotropic visco-elastic solid model to capture the sound transmission law of an annular cushion from a commercial earmuff is presented. Ten cushions from a hygienic spare set are studied. They are mounted on a shaker and submitted to the weight of three metal blocks with masses of 1.15kg, 1.65kg and 2.13 kg, representing the force applied by the head band when the earmuffs are positioned on the head. Holes are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, when each cushion was under compression, to evacuate air from it. Vibration experiments were conducted and then cushions were immerged into water to make sure that apertures were completely occluded. Such verification has demonstrated that the sheath is a micro-porous material: micro air bubbles appear around the sheath when cushion are pressed. The foam and the sheath are tested separately under a mass of 0.65kg and compared to a cushion.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
