Pre-Semester Work

Prior to the Fall 2021 semester, John conducted independent research in preparation for the course.

Over the summer he read “Improve Membrane Absorbers” by Robert Oldfield and developed a preliminary understanding of the work described within the paper.

He also developed a basic MATLAB/OCTAVE program for simulating the proposed device.

This program was in large part based on the provided coded in the paper and descriptions of impedance analogy for electro-mechanical-acoustic systems
