Acoustic Laboratory
Summary
HKUST approved the development of brand-new state-of-the-art acoustic testing facilities as part of the overall redevelopment project. The acoustic testing laboratory is composed of a reverberation chamber and anechoic chamber, placed side-by-side. This configuration allows each chamber to be used separately, and also in a combined manner, for example for sound transmission experiments.
| Anechoic Chamber Dimensions | 8.1 m (L) x 6 m (W) x 5.1 m (H) 5.7 m (H) when configured as a semi-anechoic chamber. |
| Reverberation Chamber Dimensions | 6.5 m (L) x 7.6 m (W) x 5 m (H) |
| Transmission Window Dimensions |
Modular window configuration. 2.6 m (W) x 1.9 m (H) - Largest 2.05 m (W) x 1.9 m (H) 1.5 m (W) x 1.9 m (H) 1.5 m (W) x 1.5 m (H) - Smallest |
| Certification Standard | ISO 3745 Appendix A, ISO 3741 Appendix A-D. |
| Cut-off Frequency | 100 Hz |
The types of research applied in this facility are:
1) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) propeller and fuselage aeroacoustics
2) Acoustic metamaterial research and development
3) Fundamental acoustics and aeroacoustics research
4) Acoustic sensor and measurement technology development
