Materials used in construction, such as elastic materials, must meet the requirement of having very low elastic modulus values. For the determination of the material\u2019s elastic modulus and the acoustic insulation of the same, costly and difficult to execute testing is required. The present paper exposes an alternative system that is simpler and more economic, consisting of a predefined striking device and a sensor able to determine, once the strike is produced, the energy absorbed by the plate. After the impact is produced, the plate undergoes a deformation, which absorbs part of the energy, the remaining part being transmitted to the slab and, at the same time, causing induced airborne noise in the adjoining room. The plate absorbs the power through its own deformation, which is measured with the help of a capacitive sensor. This way, it would be possible to properly define the geometry of the plates, after the execution of the test, and we will try to establish a relationship between the values proposed in this research and the acoustic behavior demanded by the Spanish standards.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150100635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,30]],"date-time":"2014-12-30T09:42:58Z","timestamp":1419932578000},"page":"635-641","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["New System for Measuring Impact Vibration on Floor  Decking Sheets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6928-5134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Moron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensors and Actuators Group, Department of Tecnolog\u00eda de la Edificaci\u00f3n, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Madrid 28040, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensors and Actuators Group, Department of Tecnolog\u00eda de la Edificaci\u00f3n, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Madrid 28040, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Ferrandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensors and Actuators Group, Department of Tecnolog\u00eda de la Edificaci\u00f3n, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, Madrid 28040, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"587","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apacoust.2010.01.009","article-title":"Vibration transmission through plate\/beam structures typical of lightweight buildings: Applicability and limitations of fundamental theories","volume":"71","author":"Galbrun","year":"2010","journal-title":"Appl.
