Unraveling and exploiting disorder in the design and realization of metamaterial solutions for broadband noise and vibration reduction KU Leuven
From the strong need of reconciling the often conflicting and ever tightening ecologic requirements and noise and vibration exposure regulations, a vast amount of research emerged in innovative lightweight solutions with favorable vibro-acoustic properties. Among these, locally resonant metamaterials were recently shown to enable strongly improved noise and vibration reduction in targeted frequency ranges, called stop bands.
While their ...
