Vibroacoustic characterization of materials

The CEVAA offers its materials expertise in the vibration and acoustic fields.

Materials acoustics

• Sound absorption coefficient
• Sound reduction index
• Damping
• Insertion loss
• Dynamic stiffness

The CEVAA takes into account the characteristics of the materials, their requirements and their behavior under operational conditions.
