Key Research Achievements
Extended the concept of metasurfaces to acoustics, enabling control of low-frequency sound waves using ultrathin lightweight structures.
Proposed a weak absorption unit resonance coupling mechanism, developing metasurface-based ultra-broadband sound-absorbing structures that address the challenge of low-frequency broadband noise control.
Developed acoustic impedance and sound propagation models for metasurfaces under high-speed airflow, high sound intensity, and multi-modal noise sources, leading to the creation of lightweight broadband acoustic metasurface liners. These innovations solved critical noise control challenges under extreme operating conditions in China's large-scale low-temperature wind tunnels.
