Acoustics is the science of sounds. Acoustics is related to the production, transmission and reception of sound as well as its effects on living beings, the environment and matter. Acoustics is an integral part of the engineering and environmental sciences, health and life sciences as well as humanities and social sciences.
Investigations at the Acoustics Laboratory in Le Mans Université mainly focus on sources and sensors, acoustics and mechanics of materials, wave propagation in fluids and complex structures. Acoustic investigations aim at observing and quantifying physical phenomena, at analysing and modelling them using both mathematical and numerical methods.
Applications cover a wide field of subject topics: noise reduction and vibration damping, evaluation and control of materials, sound quality...
The sectors of activity related to acoustics exhibit a large diversity: building, automotive, aeronautics, telecommunications, music and instrument making, entertainment industry, environment, medicine, etc.
