Time-varying vibro-acoustic analysis for sustainable digital twins
Research Group:
ISVR: Dynamics Group
Vibro-acoustic digital twins have the potential to increase the sustainability of machines and vehicles by making them more silent, while keeping performance high and energy consumption low. Read more
Advanced Optical Fibre Design for Acoustic Emission Monitoring in Composite Materials
Supervisory Team. Dr Chris Holmes, Dr Peter Glynne-Jones. This project explores the cutting-edge intersection of acoustics and photonics, enhancing acoustic emission detection using innovative optical fibre designs. Read more
Acoustical Properties of Meta-Materials
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Porous materials such as foams and felts are often used to reduce noise levels. However, these materials are often ineffective at low frequencies. Read more
Field-portable acoustic system for microplastics identification in the UK waters
Project Overview. Marine microplastic pollution is a critical and escalating global environmental challenge. An estimated 150 million tonnes of plastic have accumulated in the world’s oceans, with over 12 million tonnes added each year. Read more
