Acoustic theory only gains value when computational models correspond exactly with measurements in practice. Our publications and technical articles cover the methodology behind this work: from numerical simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics® to material characterization using the µZ impedance bus system. We explain which physical mechanisms are involved, how to reliably build computational models, and how to use measurement data to optimize product design.
