Workshop - Acoustics: New Fundamentals and Applications; Alexandria, Virginia; October 2017

本次研讨会的目标是汇集来自动力学控制，声学和超材料社区的研究人员，旨在确定有前途的未来研究方向，重点是使用动力系统和控制理论来解决声学超材料和系统理论的联系问题。研讨会将于2017年10月在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行。声学以远比我们通常想象的更多的方式渗透到我们的日常生活中，相关的研究远未达到成熟。一些新出现的概念具有实际应用的重大前景，并有可能产生重要的社会影响。这些主题的进展将大大受益于接触，并与传统上不注重声学作为一个应用领域的学科互动。该研讨会的目标是将来自声学和超材料领域选定的新兴主题的专家与控制界的研究人员聚集在一起，以确定合作机会，新的研究问题，具体需求，以及最重要的是，可能通过控制声学系统的新特性来实现的有前途的应用。预计讲习班将确定有希望的调查领域及其应用途径。

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the dynamics & control, acoustics, and metamaterials communities with the purpose of identifying promising future research directions focusing on the use of dynamical systems and control theory to address problems at the nexus of acoustic metamaterials and system theory. The workshop will be held in Alexandria, Virginia, in October 2017.Acoustics permeates our daily life in far more ways than we normally think, and the related research is far from having achieved maturity. Several emerging concepts hold significant promise for practical application, and have the potential for important societal impact. Progress in these topics would greatly benefit from exposure to, and interaction with, disciplines that traditionally do not focus on acoustics as an application area. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts from selected, emerging topics in acoustics and metamaterials with researchers from the controls community in order to identify opportunities for collaboration, new research questions, specific needs, and, most of all, promising applications that may be enabled by the control of new properties of acoustic systems. The workshop is expected to define promising investigation areas and their path to application.
