Novel Material Concepts Single layer systems not capable to reach weight-nvh target Trigger mechanisms that lead to improved NVH 1. Viscothermal damping 2. Coupling propagating to (highly) damped wave types 3. Wave interference 4. Resonance mechanisms... intelligently tailored to reach specific functionality

Design tools Expensive full models... Multiphysics Combination of length scales Modelling of bonding Propagation direction Can be preceded by affordable indacative models Unit-Cell models Transfer Matrix Models
Adequate characterization Laboratory characterisation often don t comprise the complete physics at hand In situ measurements are costly and difficult to validate numerically
Adequate characterisation: KU Leuven Soundbox Representative non standardised test set-up...... allows characterisation of materials and numerical validation

Unit Cell Definition Unit Cell
Unit Cell Modelling 1. Make model of the unit cell 2. Find wave solution of the unit cell 3. Derive motion of infinite structure
Unit Cell Modelling Mass ratio Stop Band Propagation Direction Resonance frequency
Unit Cell Modelling what to remember Unit cell modelling allows quick estimation of stop bands, deriving driving parameters, fine-tuning of design in late stage. Stop bands are due to resonant additions, related to effective added mass, driven by resonance of additions.
