Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is widely used to achieve an atomic surface globally,
yet its cross-scale polishing mechanisms are elusive. Moreover, traditional CMP normally …

This work presents benchmark examples related to the modelling of sound absorbing
porous media with rigid frame based on the periodic geometry of their microstructures. To …

This work investigates a porous composite with modifiable micro-geometry so that its ability
to absorb noise can be accommodated to different frequency ranges. The polymeric …

Prediction of acoustic characteristics of porous media from the microstructure is the first step
in designing novel materials with enhanced acoustic properties. This paper aims to provide …

Closed-cell metal foams are lightweight and durable materials resistant to high temperature
and harsh conditions, but due to their fully closed porosity they are poor airborne sound …

This work discusses many practical and some theoretical aspects concerning modelling and
design of plates with micro-slits, involving multi-scale calculations based on microstructure …

This paper investigates sound propagation in polydisperse heterogeneous porous
composites. The two-scale asymptotic method of homogenization is used to obtain a …

The potential usefulness of relatively simple pore microstructures such as parallel, identical,
inclined slits for creating broadband sound absorption has been argued through analytical …

Enhancing the attenuation or the absorption of low-frequency noise using lightweight bulk-
reacting liners is still a demanding task in surface and air transport systems. The aim of this …

The dynamic equations of a transversely isotropic fibrous, highly porous material are
presented in terms of microstructure-derived analytical expressions for viscous dissipation …
