From Structural Acoustic Design Optimization of a Rectangular Plate to Vibroacoustic Design of Cellular Metamaterials for Automotive, Aerospace and Railway Applications Seminar

In this talk, Dr. Ranjbar will present his experiences about the reduction of the structural borne noise without adding any extra mass to the system over a wide frequency range. At first, he will discuss the geometry modification of a rectangular plate for structural acoustic applications in automotive industry. Later, he will present the design of cellular vibroacoustic metamaterials for noise reduction, vibration filtering and vibration energy harvesting in aerospace and railway systems.
