Dr Mostafa Ranjbar
University of Cranfield
Lecturer in Structural Mechanics
Equipment:
Laser Vibrometer
Scientific focus and expertise:
Vibroacoustics, design optimization, Metamaterials, structures with negative Poisson ratios (Auxetics), underwater aoustic metamaterials, auxetics for energy harvestings, bioinispired mechanical metamaterials
Materials class:
cellular solid structures, multidisciplinary engineering design optimization, vibroacoustic, engineering Acoustics, Metamaterials
Research challenge:
I am working to develop the application of mechanical metamaterials in Noise and Vibration control area with a focus on vibroacoustic metamaterials. I develop novel light-weight structures for reduction of the radiation noise and vibration attenuation.
Application:
Auxetics , vibroacoustic metamaterials, phononics, sound control
Market Sector:
Energy, Automotive, Aerospace, Healthcare
Industry challenge:
Reduction of the radiated noise from the structures without adding any extra mass to systems
