Scholarship for research in acoustic meta-materials
Based within the School of Mechanical Engineering our Acoustics Vibration and Control researchers undertake fundamental and applied research to solve significant industry challenges, and consistently deliver tangible, real-world impact.
Acoustic Anechoic Chamber by Carl Howard
The research focus for these two PhD projects is on acoustic meta-materials, and, in particular, exploiting non-linear material behaviours to enhance or customise acoustic absorption properties. The exact details of the project will be negotiated with the candidate prior to submission of an application for an Australian Postgraduate Award. Suggested topics to be investigated include:
- Highly absorptive acoustic meta-materials for use in air or underwater.
- Non-linear vibration isolation materials.
- Non-linear acoustic materials.
- Adaptive-passive acoustic absorptive material that can be dynamically adjusted.
