Acoustics and Vibrations
This team of acousticians, mechanical engineers and physicists focuses on the study of noise and vibration propagation both in the structure of ships and in the underwater environment. It develops innovative noise mitigation solutions tailored to the needs of the maritime industry. The team is also involved in the port environment, working to improve noise management during port-related work and operations. This promotes better coexistence between different port activities while limiting the impact on the environment and marine ecosystems.
Equipment
- Acoustic platform (reproduction of a section of a ship for testing)
- Vibration and acoustic data acquisition system (OROS)
- Various hydrophones
- Diving tank
