Research objectives

To ensure the project's success, it is essential to attain its primary objectives, which encompass three key research objectives throughout its execution.

Objective #1

Analytical design of a thick resonant Wave barrier. In specific, the design of a Wave Impeding Block (WIB) as the fundamental building block of the barrier, followed by the design of the entire barrier exploiting an optimal arrangement of WIBs, either regular or disordered.

Objective #2

Numerical design and optimization of the proposed novel wave barrier to minimize its overall dimension and cost.

Objective #3

Manufacturing and testing of a prototype thick resonant wave barrier
