Acoustic metamaterials
Project Description: This research project aims to develop a methodology for the design of acoustic metamaterials based on the optimization of the distribution of rigid micro-ducts in a given pre-established space. The priority is to maximize the sound absorption of these metamaterials for “low frequencies” (remembering that the concept of “low frequency” depends on the dimensions involved and the specific application). Additive manufacturing methodologies are investigated for the production and testing of the configurations obtained.
Coordinator/ Participants: Dr. Olavo M. Silva (coordinator); Prof. Arcanjo Lenzi (collaborator).
Partners: Aerospace Engineering/ UFSC; National Industrial Learning Service (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial – SENAI)/ Joinville.
