  • Origami sonic barrier for traffic noise mitigation
    Patent number: 11136734
    Abstract: A sound barrier system for use in mitigating noise having an origami sheet or origami-inspired mechanism that can use folding to change configuration and lattice topology; and a plurality of cylindrical inclusions disposed on top of the origami sheet. The plurality of cylindrical inclusions being periodically arranged such that folding kinematics of the origami sheet induces reconfiguration of the periodicity of the plurality of cylindrical inclusions and associated wave blocking of the noise.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
