About our project
The Mosaic Design Strategy: Application to Underwater Acoustic Functionalities (MDS-APP-UAF) No.101106904 belongs to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA PFs) of the European Union, aiming to achieve low-frequency and broadband acoustic wave manipulation in air and underwater environments through a “mosaic design” strategy of discrete unit integration. The research focuses on the design and application of lightweight structures for airborne sound insulation, ultrathin underwater acoustic absorbers, and lightweight equipment for underwater acoustic measurement.
Main sub-projects for MDS-APP-UAF:
① Mosaic plate metamaterial for air sound insulation
② Mosaic underwater impedance tube with broad operational frequency range
③ Ultra-thin broadband underwater mosaic acoustic absorber using acoustic soft boundary
This project is led by the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) and collaborated with the LAUM Acoustic Laboratory of Le Mans University.
