Observation of non-reciprocal harmonic conversion in real sounds

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Xinxin Guo

Reciprocity guarantees that in most media, sound transmission is symmetric between two points of space when the location of the source and receiver are interchanged. This fundamental law can be broken in non-linear media, often at the cost of detrimental i ...

Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...

Development of a plasma electroacoustic actuator for active noise control applications

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Hervé Lissek, Pénélope Leyland, Gennady Plyushchev, Stanislav Sergeev

Conventional loudspeakers generate sound through the vibration of a diaphragm, attached to a rigid frame through elastic suspensions. Although such construction is satisfactory for sound diffusion in steady environments, it is likely to fail in harsh condi ...
