S.R.A. is a professional, non-governmental, autonomous, non-pareil and politically non-involved society. Its members are and could be:
- researchers and teaching staff, graduates of high education institutes working in acoustics domain or in related fields;
- research-designing institutes, independent laboratories having measurement and checking functions in acoustics and vibrations; merchant companies producing/ delivering sound absorbent, sound insulator and antivibrating materials and systems.
S.R.A. setting up aim is the interest inducement for the acoustics domain and the development of fundamental and applied research in this domain, and in connection disciplinesarea also, concentrating the experts efforts and facilitating the technical and scientific data exchange in our country and abroad.
The Romanian Society of Acoustics upholdes the merchant companies, other private institutions, with states or mixed capital, having scientific research, expertise or specialized advising works, synthesis, quantitive/qualitative compared analysis, norms and standards processing, professional training courses, a.s.o. through direct relationships contractually conditioned.
S.R.A. involves in laboratory research development, informative and specializing courses in acoustics, vibrations and dynamics of machinery , physics of constructions, stimulates the scientific research in the university medium and supports the students participation in this trend.
S.R.A. edits a specialized review, having a bilingual presentation, which contains the fundamental and applied scientific contributions in the area, as well as the achievements and performances of the specialised firms, editor in chief being the chairman of S.R.A. – Mr. Professor, Eng. Dr. h.c. Polidor Bratu, Ph.D., member of the Romanian Academy of Technology.
