Corona discharge actuator as an active sound absorber under normal and oblique incidence

Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev

In the majority of active sound absorbing systems, a conventional electrodynamic loudspeaker is used as a controlled source. However, particular situations may require an actuator that is more resistant to harsh environments, adjustable in shape, and light ...

High-frequency broadband laser phase noise cancellation using a delay line

Timo Zwettler

Laser phase noise remains a limiting factor in many experimental settings, including metrology, time-keeping, as well as quantum optics. Hitherto this issue was addressed at low frequencies ranging from well below 1 Hz to maximally 100 kHz. However, a wide ...

A phenomenological extended-reaction boundary model for time-domain wave-based acoustic simulations under sparse reflection conditions using a wave splitting method

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

In environmental acoustics and in room acoustics, many surfaces exhibit extended-reaction (ER) behavior, i.e., their surface impedance varies with the angle of the incident sound wave. This paper presents a phenomenological method for modeling such angle d ...

Friction law and hysteresis in granular materials

Matthieu Wyart, Eric DeGiuli

The macroscopic friction of particulate materials often weakens as the flow rate is increased, leading to potentially disastrous intermittent phenomena including earthquakes and landslides. We theoretically and numerically study this phenomenon in simple g ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Volkan Cevher, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammad Golbabaee

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...

Study on room modal equalization at low frequencies with electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

Nowadays, requirements for acoustic treatments in rooms are ever more demanding in terms of performance and compactness. A recurring issue in closed spaces is the occurrence of standing waves and acoustic interferences at low frequencies. These unwanted ph ...

Assessment of active electroacoustic absorbers as low-frequency modal dampers in rooms

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

In small to medium size rooms, natural room modes may severely strengthen the annoyance of low frequency noises, such as traffic or equipment noise. Moreover, there is an actual technological gap in the state-of-the-art concerning low-frequency treatments, ...

A theory of sound transmission through a clamped curved piezoelectric membrane connected to a negative capacitor

Hervé Lissek, Tomas Sluka

An analytical calculation of the acoustic transmission loss of sound propagating through a thin cylindrically curved piezoelectric membrane, which is rigidly clamped at its straight ends, is presented. The membrane is placed inside an acoustic tube and con ...
