Development of novel vibro-acoustic metamaterials with structural load-carrying capacity through a model-based design methodology KU Leuven
The demand for enhanced static or dynamic performance, coupled with rising customer expectations and more stringent regulations, necessitates mechanical systems to comply with increasingly tightening and sometimes conflicting standards. The drive for robustness and reliability requires the systems to have an increased structural stiffness. This, however, contradicts with the trend towards lightweight designs, motivated by environmental ...
