Description / Features

AlphaCell features an intuitive interface, a database of materials, a project management for simulations, a customizable PDF report generation of the simulations, a data export/import for comparisons...
Simple and advanced models are available to describe the behavior of porous materials: Delany-Bazley (1 parameter), Johnson-Champoux-Allard (5 parameters), Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Pride-Lafarge (8 parameters), Olny-Boutin double porosity model, micro-perforated facings with circular, rectangular or slit-like perforations...
The model by Biot (isotropic skeleton, 4 parameters) can be applied to all previous acoustic models to include the elastic effects of the porous frame.

On-line demo version

To run the AlphaCell demo version, you need to accept an "unrestricted access" to your computer. This access is required for AlphaCell to create a small database file "alphacell.db" in a temporary directory of your computer. When application is started, select project "Demo 1" and click "Load".

Quick start

We have written a 2-page quick-start for people in a hurry. Download the PDF version of this guide or view it online.

Validation booklet

To check the robustness of our software, we have compared the results obtained with AlphaCell to various experimental, theoretical or numerical results found in the scientific litterature. These comparisons are available in a PDF booklet
