A numerical model, based on boundary element techniques, was used to solve the acoustic wave equation in two dimensions, in order to study the performance of various configurations of road traffic noise barriers. The mean insertion loss for a broadband road traffic noise source over a range of recei

The e$ciency of noise barriers is usually estimated neglecting their elastic behaviour. In this paper, the total vibro-acoustical response of simple barriers is considered. A variational approach with a boundary-element technique is used. It is a generalization of an existing formalism developed for
