During 2006, AFRL/RV conducted acoustic testing on fluid-filled, porous media in a four-microphone transmission loss tube. During 2007, more tests were performed.
Future plan is to collaborate in the area of thermal properties of material for thermal control applications. |
The outcome of the effort has been a patent disclosure submitted by New Mexico Tech and a journal article entitled “An Experimental Investigation into the Acoustic Characteristics of Fluid-filled Porous Structures: A Simplified Model of the Human Skull Cancellous Structure,” in the Journal of Experimental Mechanics in April 2008.
