About the Journal
Research Reports: Acoustics and Vibration is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, comprehensive reviews, and selected high-impact reprints in the fields of​ acoustics, vibration, and their interdisciplinary applications. The journal emphasizes fundamental, computational, and experimental studies that advance the understanding, modelling, and control of acoustic and vibrational phenomena across engineering, environmental, and technological contexts.
Published tri-annually, the journal is available in both print and electronic formats, ensuring wide accessibility to the research community.
Scope:
The journal welcomes high-quality submissions in all aspects of acoustics and vibration. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Noise generation, propagation, and control: industrial, environmental, and transportation noise mitigation strategies.
- Architectural and building acoustics: room acoustics, reverberation optimization, and sound insulation analysis.
- Acoustic materials and metamaterials: development, characterization, and application of engineered materials for sound absorption, isolation, and wave manipulation.
- Structural acoustics and vibration mechanics: coupled fluid-structure interactions, modal analysis, damping strategies, and vibration control.
- Environmental acoustics and soundscape assessment: quantitative and qualitative evaluation of acoustic environments, urban soundscapes, and community noise.
- Linear and nonlinear acoustics: theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations of wave propagation, harmonic generation, and nonlinear effects.
- Ultrasonics and high-frequency acoustics: imaging, materials characterization, and non-destructive testing.
- Aeroacoustics: noise modelling, experimental validation, and flow-structure interaction in aerospace and turbomachinery applications.
- Audio signal processing and engineering: speech, music, and multi-channel audio systems, including source separation and spatialization.
- Speech, voice recognition, and control systems: phonetics, speech modelling, recognition algorithms, and assistive auditory technologies.
- Psychoacoustics and auditory perception: human auditory modelling, perception-based sound evaluation, and cognitive acoustics.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning in acoustics and vibration: predictive modelling, optimization, and data-driven analysis of complex acoustic and vibrational systems.
