Over the past 20 years, our team has been involved
in the continuous development and improvement of methods and tools
for Sound & Vibration Engineering.
Some of the major achievements by the team are:
-
Innovations in Modal Testing Methods including
Multivariate Mode Indicator Functions and the MultiPhase
Stepped Sine Method
-
Source Decomposition, in which the interior noise
of a vehicle driven on the road in "real operating
conditions" is decomposed into powertrain, structure-borne
road, airborne, tyre and wind noise.
-
Sound Synthesis, techniques for precisely reconstructing sound (and
vibration) waveforms from spectral representations derived from either test or
CAE data
-
Advanced Noise Contribution Analysis, methods for
quantifying the contribution of both air-borne and structure-borne
sources as either paths or radiating surfaces
-
Our Vehicle Noise
and Vibration Simulator is able to reproduce measured or predicted
sounds and vibrations in an interactive driving simulation, allowing engineers to interact
with their models at an entirely new level of perceptive reality
-
We are currently developing a new approach to Interactive Jury Evaluation to
allow meaningful subjective assessments of sound and vibration to be made by experts
and non-experts to ensure that the correct design decisions can be made throughout the
product development process
