Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the level difference of floor impact noises of composite floor structure using EVA resilient materials. In order to this, four different types of resilient materials were designed combining PET, PP sheet and EVA mount including Flat type, Deck type, Cavity type and Mount type. Totally 9 different samples were made for acoustic measurements which were carried out twice with bang-machine and impact ball as the heavy-weight floor impact noise sources. All the floor impact noise measurements were undertaken at the authentication institution. As a result, concerning Flat and Cavity types, it was found that 2 dB ~ 5 dB of heavy-weight floor impact noise was reduced supplementally when PET was added, while floor impact noise larger than 50 dB was acquired when single resilient material was used. Especially, most high performance was obtained for Mount type with 1st grade of light-weight floor impact noise and 2nd grade of heavy-weight floor impact noise. This is because of material property with low dense PET sound absorption materials which fill all around EVA mounts. Also, it was considered that this results are due to the sound impact absorption by the both EVA mounts and the air cavity between EVA mount and PP sheet. Also, it was found that at least 36 EVA mounts per 1m2 area of resilient panel make more noise reduction of heavy-weight floor impact noises.

본 연구는 일반적인 평평한 에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트(Ethylen Vinyl Acetate, EVA) 완충재의 형상을 변화시켜 다양한 차음소재와 조합하여 복합구조의 바닥충격음 변화를 조사하는 데에 목적이 있다. 바닥충격음 저감에 효과적인 완충재를 선정하기 위해 Flat, Deck, Cavity type의 EVA, EPS, PET 흡음재, PP판넬, 고무발판 등 다양한 완충재를 조합하여 뱅머신을 이용한 1차 실험을 진행하였다. 1차 실험 데이터에 대해 통계분석한 결과 완충재 두께가 40 mm에 가까울수록 바닥충격음 저감효과가 증가하였으며 PET 흡음재, PP시트, 고무발판 등을 조합한 복합완충재에서 바닥충격음 효과가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에따라 2차 실험에서 모든 복합완충재의 두께는 40 mm로 통일하였으며, 1차 실험에 사용된 Flat, Deck, Cavity type 및 EVA를 발판형태로 가공한 Mount type 등 4가지 형태의 복합완충재를 설계하였다. 또한, Mount type을 제외한 3가지 기본 형태에서 각각 PET 흡음재(7 mm)를 추가했을 시 바닥충격음 변화를 살펴보았으며, Mount type의 경우 EVA발판 개수에 따른 바닥충격음 변화에 대해 고무공 충격원을 이용한 2차 실험을 진행하였다. 모든 실험은 공인인증시험기관의 목업실험실에서 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 기본형태의 Flat, Deck, Cavity type에서 PET를 추가할 경우 통계적으로 경량 5 dB ~ 9 dB, 중량 1 dB ~ 5 dB의 저감효과가 나타난 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히, Mount type의 경우 발판 수가 36개 이상일 때 경량 및 중량충격음에서 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 4가지 기본형태에 따라 동탄성계수가 높아질수록 바닥충격음의 저감이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
