Achievements:
Prof. WU has put forward the theory and methods about the prediction, simulation and planning for urban traffic noise; elucidated the Acoustic Image Wall Concept; and educed Traffic Noise Calculating Formula for Reverberation Field. He is the first to analyze the room acoustics through linking the architecture assistant design software and acoustics software. He has brought forward the New Loudness Criterion of Concert Hall and Calculating Formula, and evaluated the room acoustics through Fuzzy Set Theory. Together with his co-worker, he has proposed the new calculating model of Simulation of Diffuse Sound Flied and ameliorated the measure method and calculating formula of Sound Energy Diffuse Coefficient of Surfaces. He has developed the environmental evaluation method system, the man's behavior model and researched on the evaluation of after-using; and established the Subjective Evaluation Theory for Built Environment. WU has been in charge of more than 55 architectures' acoustics design, published more than 100 academic papers and 7 works. His masterpiece "Room Acoustics and Environmental Acoustic" is taken as the research monograph of National Natural Science Funding.
