What is a "projet fil rouge" ?
In the framework of our studies in the ENSIACET, we had the opportunity to participate in the “projet fil rouge”.
“Projet fil rouge” ? It is certainly obvious but let’s explain what it is.
It is a project which stretches over three studies years that is 4 complete semesters and is dedicated to research, enrichment of our knowledge and experiments on this topic. All through of this project, a tutor guide and support us in our work.
Our project, originally entitled “Be inspired by nature to design materials and structures of tomorrow. Interest of a multi-scale approach”, includes a lot of different exploration fields.
First, we decided to reduce our study to cellular materials to do bibliographic research. Cellular materials can be inspired by nature but they can be synthesised in order to answer to a lot of features.
During the first semester, we chose to adopt an approach focused on the acoustic properties of these materials and then we studied physics properties.
For this project, we bought sound insulating materials used in construction industry (polyurethane foams)and for human ear (eargplug) in order to characterise them and to understand how they work.
