  1. 4041. Broadband Sound Absorption Using Weakly Coupled Parallel- Arranged Helmholtz Resonators in Acoustic Metasurfaces (FA2026/345)
    FAISAL RAFIQUE (SUSTech, Shenzhen)

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    Broadband, low to mid-frequency sound absorption with thin, compact structures presents a significant challenge in acoustical engineering. This work presents a novel acoustic metasurface based on weakly coupled parallel Helmholtz resonators (HRs). The design begins with an optimized dual-cavity HR unit, where a small inter-cavity perforation bridges two resonance peaks to create a continuous...

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    Low-frequency noise remains difficult to mitigate in urban environments because conventional absorbers require large thicknesses or compromise structural performance. This study investigates a Tesla-valve-inspired acoustic metamaterial embedded within high-strength cementitious composites and evaluates how geometric parameters control acoustic behavior. A parametric investigation was conducted...

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    Low-frequency sound insulation remains challenging due to the long sound wavelengths, making conventional acoustic materials largely ineffective at low frequencies. This study proposes a novel single-path, space-coiled metamaterial designed for efficient low-frequency sound attenuation. The metamaterial is a 28 mm thick cylinder with a 100 mm diameter, comprising a top cover with an input...

  4. 4711. Design of a Phase Gradient Metamaterial with perforated foams (FA2026/666)
    Adrien Guthapfel (KU Leuven, Department of Mechanical Engineering)

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    In recent years, phase gradient metamaterials have attracted significant attention for their ability to steer incident waves in specific directions. This behavior follows the generalized Snell’s law, which relates the directions of reflected and transmitted waves to the phase gradient of their coefficients along the surface. By imposing a specific linear phase profile, these materials can...

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    Road noise transmitted through vehicle door structures remains a critical challenge in automotive noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance, particularly in the low-frequency range below 1 kHz. This study presents a mass-producible acoustic metamaterial designed for integration into automotive door trims to reduce structure-borne sound transmission without increasing weight or...

  6. 4047. Metamaterial design and optimization methods for a low-height noise barrier for railways (FA2026/773)
    Domenico De Salvio (University of Bologna)

    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    As part of the European LIFE SILENT project, which addresses noise mitigation in complex environments, this study focuses on improving the acoustic performance of low-height noise barriers (LHNBs) by optimizing their surface acoustic impedance. Specifically, it presents the inverse design of a broadband sound-absorbing metamaterial layer intended for the railway-facing side of an LHNB. The...

  7. 4048. Design and Modelling of an Acoustic Metasurface for Low- frequency Room Mode Absorption (FA2026/351)
    Juan Luis de la Torre Moral (Grupo Acústica Arquitectónica, Universidad Politécnica Madrid)
    11/09/2026, 15:00
    A10 Materials and Metamaterials

    Low-frequency room modes remain a major challenge in architectural acoustics, as they cannot be effectively mitigated using conventional absorbers or resonators without a significant thickness. As an alternative, acoustic metamaterials offer the possibility of achieving efficient low-frequency absorption with limited thickness. In this work, a numerical methodology for the design and...
