The understanding and prediction of sound propagation in highly heterogeneous porous materials and composite is becoming of great interest beyond noise control applications. In fact, porous media are investigated in many disciplines such as polymer extrusion, pharmaceutical and food industries, medical research, soils and underwater sediment characterisation. Despite considerable efforts that have been made to understand and model acoustical porous media, a number of unsolved problems still remain. These are problems associated with non-linear effects, multiple pore scales, conflicting demands for inherent material multi-functionality and enhanced sustainability. Therefore, this symposium aims: • to present the most up-to-date achievements in modelling, characterisation and applications of acoustic porous media, • to bring together researchers working in adjacent disciplines concerned with porous media, • to identify future challenges for this area of research and discuss ways to address these challenges.
