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

本次研讨会的目的是将来自动力学与控制、声学和超材料领域的研究人员聚集在一起，目的是确定未来有希望的研究方向，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之间的联系问题。研讨会将于2017年10月在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行。声学以远远超出我们通常想象的方式渗透到我们的日常生活中，相关研究远未达到成熟。一些新兴的概念具有重大的实际应用前景，并有可能产生重要的社会影响。这些主题的进展将极大地受益于与传统上不把声学作为应用领域的学科的接触和互动。研讨会的目标是将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，通过控制声学系统的新特性可能实现的有前景的应用。研讨会预计将确定有前景的研究领域及其应用路径。

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.
