Attenuation

  1. Outer-ligament design increases stiffness and broadens bandgaps
    Novel auxetic metamaterial designs with enhanced outer ligaments achieve 54.57% higher stiffness and broader elastic bandgaps, resolving traditional trade-offs through geometric optimization.
  2. Beam integration reduced low-frequency impact sound in CLT floors
    Beam integration in CLT floors reduces low-frequency impact noise; LAFmax metric demonstrates strong perceptual validity for floor-impact design in timber construction.
