Laboratory
DESIGNING THE ACOUSTICS OF THE FUTURE,
FROM THE EQUATION TO THE TESTED PROVER
At Metacoustic, we conduct research to explore new approaches, overcome technological barriers, and turn them into practical solutions.
UNDERSTANDING: EXPANDING THE RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES
Before seeking a solution, we strive to gain a precise understanding of the phenomena at play. This physical analysis allows us to identify the dominant mechanisms, interactions, and levers we can act upon.
MODELING: TRANSLATING PHENOMENA
We create models (numerical, analytical) tailored to the problem under study.
Depending on our needs, we develop our own methods and tools to explore, analyze, and refine new solutions
VALIDATE: TEST THE MODEL AGAINST EXPERIMENTAL DATA
A model is only valuable if it accurately describes reality. We design and build our prototypes, then compare the numerical predictions with laboratory tests to validate the concepts.
OUR R&D PROJETCS
A project with Metacoustic, LAUM, and Valéo to develop acoustic encapsulation technology that reduces automotive noise.
