AI and symmetry speed design of sound-absorbing fabrics

Researchers created an AI tool that groups fabric patterns by symmetry to predict their sound absorption in under a minute. Detailed acoustic simulations previously took over an hour per weave. Textile engineers can now rapidly screen vast design spaces to shape microscopic airflow pathways.
