Congratulation to CMRI PGR Dan Moore whose paper ‘Acoustic metasurfaces with Frieze symmetries‘ has been published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. The work also contains further CMRI contributions with CMRI academics Tim Starkey and Greg Chaplain as co-authors of the study. Frieze patterns are patterns that follow specific arrangement rules and […]

New publication: Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices
Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers who has had his work ‘Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices‘ published in Physical Review Applied. In this work, James applies principles from electromagnetism to manipulate mechanical energy with a view towards using graded plates as lenses or for performing mode shaping. This work has applications for […]
CDT PGRs at Sidmouth Science Festival
Sidmouth Science Festival is an event held every year in Sidmouth that aims to engage with public and inform them how STEM relates to the things we do every day. It aims specially to educate younger members of the public and inspire them to take up a career in STEM themselves. This year the festival […]
New Publication: Experimental characterization of acoustic beaming from an elastic plate by coupled symmetric leaky Lamb modes
Congratulations to CDT alumnus Dr Tom Graham, whose paper ‘Experimental characterization of acoustic beaming from an elastic plate by coupled symmetric leaky Lamb modes’ has recently been published in Physical Review B. Tom graduated in 2019. Abstract Designer mode dispersions with properties such as negative or zero group velocities have applications in tailored wave propagation […]
New Publication: Coupled Scholte modes supported by soft elastic plates in water
Congratulations to third year PGR Beth Staples, whose paper ‘Coupled Scholte modes supported by soft elastic plates in water’ was recently published in Physical Review E. Abstract Localized acoustic surface waves supported by a “soft” elastic plate in water are explored. Unlike many materials, such as aluminum, for soft interfaces the Scholte wave, a localized […]
Month 25 Presentation Prize Winner Announcement
We are delighted to announce that third year PGR Benjamin Pearce has won the Month 25 Presentation Prize- a £50 Amazon voucher. The Month 25 presentations are given each October, where the PGRs give a presentation on their work to date and feedback scores are given by their peers. Ben’s presentation was titled ‘Mode Interference […]
Welcome to our new cohort for 2020!
We have seven new students this year, who have just finished the first week of their projects! Having attended a busy virtual induction week, they were pleased to meet the rest of the CDT face-to-face in a socially-distanced outdoor treasure hunt across the city. Our new students are: 2020 XM² cohort Theme Project Supervisor 1 […]
