Oblikovanje materijala i građevina za smanjenje buke

The project is implemented to gather together scientists and industry partners dealing with meta materials, meta-surfaces, sonic crystals and conventional porous materials with a goal of developing innovative, light, slim and multifunctional noise reduction materials with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties, and to define objective and subjective methods and standards for the characterisation of performance and exploitation.
The DENORMS Action is divided into 3 interacting Working Groups (WG), which complement each other. Each of them aims at specific breakthroughs: WG1. Modelling of sound interaction with noise reducing materials and structures, WG2. Experimental techniques, and WG3. Industrial applications.
Numerous laboratory experiments have been performed for the determination of physical, acoustical and other noise reducing properties of materials. New applications of innovative materials have been proposed. Five training schools and eight workshops have been organized, and 46 short term academic visit grants have been awarded.
