ACOUSTIC MATERIALS AND METAMATERIALS
THURSDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2018
THE MILLENNIUM SUITE, THE ARDEN HOTEL, BIRMINGHAM
Organised by the IOA Physical Acoustics Group, and co-sponsored by the recently established UK Acoustics Network; this meeting brings together many recognised specialists in acoustic materials and metamaterials from academia and industry. Delegates will be provided with a comprehensive programme of both theory and practice. If you utilise, specify or carry out research into materials or their acoustic properties, then this meeting is intended to help the delegate to understand the terminology used for absorbing, scattering and the diffusing of sound. Application of these methods can lead to the minimising of unwanted noise and his well-balanced programme includes; general methods, and presentations that will focus in on various applications and recent case studies.
A POSTER SESSION will be conducted during break times, and we are delighted that Sonobex Ltd will be presenting a monetary prize for the best poster.
UKAN are subsidising 25 places for Early Careers Researchers and Students, these places will be allocated on a first-come-first served basis

VENUE
The Arden Hotel Coventry Road, Bickenhill, Solihull B92 0EH
We are a 10 minute walk to National Exhibition Centre (NEC) and
Birmingham International Station;
1 mile by car
8 mile from Birmingham City Centre
250 parking spaces which are free of charge to all customers.
Caution Sat Nav users. We are within 1/2 mile of the NEC, Birmingham Airport
and Junction 6 of the M42. In addition the Coventry Road is approximately
10 miles long with thousands of properties. Some systems inaccurately
position our post code about a mile away from our actual location. If your
system does not include us as a “special location” you may be wise to use
B92 0ED as your destination. This is the post code of the Esso Petrol
Station which adjoins our site. Once you are on the A45 and in the vicinity
of the NEC and Airport, please be vigilant for our highway brown signs.
