Improvement of the prediction of transmission loss of double partitions with cavity absorption by minimization techniques

In this paper, a method based on the minimization of a quadratic error function is used as a tool to improve the predictions of noise transmission loss, and it is applied to the case of a double partition filled with an absorbent material. When experimental results are available, the method can be used to determine the value of the parameters of the materials composing the structure.
