Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the twentynineteen domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Aerospace Acoustics

Objectives

  • Develop advanced acoustic damping treatments
  • Develop active noise control approaches
  • Develop advanced sensing approaches

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Next generation aircraft have more stringent limits on radiated noise
  • A high percentage of failures in launch vehicles is due to sonic excitation at launch

Recent Accomplishments

  • Acoustic meta materials have been tested and shown to have significantly increased sound absorption
  • Improved acoustic beamforming techniques for wind tunnels have been demonstrated
  • A piezoelectric line distributed strain sensor for piping systems has been developed and demonstrated

Clients

  • NASA- Langley Research Center
  • Huntington Ingalls Industries
  • United Launch Alliance
  • Airbus

Participants / Collaborators

  • National Institute of Aerospace
  • Virginia Tech
