Viscoelastic materials are mostly used to passively suppress structural vibrations. The
theoretical analysis and design of such system require the knowledge of damping properties …

Sound and vibrations are all around us and constantly impact our everyday lives, both
consciously and unconsciously. The way something feels and sounds contributes …

This paper presents a second order optimization method based on the WFEM framework
that enables the optimization of finite 1D periodic structures and 2D infinite ones. While …

Mechanical systems are often modeled with the multibody system method or the finite
element method and numerically described with systems of differential equations. Increasing …

A novel method is presented that detects the proper boundary conditions of a test setup in a
short time period by combing numerical models with experimental data. This allows for …

By writing this final piece of text (which is paradoxically at the beginning of my dissertation) I
am finishing off the last part of my thesis and life as a PhD'student'. Here definitely the …

Element-based modeling techniques such as the finite element method can be used to study
the characteristics of a guitar design. While these element-based formulations are versatile …

Numerical simulations, such as the finite element method, have been recently used to
calculate and predict noise and vibration behavior. Unfortunately, finite element models …

This paper presents a dispersion-based method for identifying visco-elastic material
properties by minimizing the residue between data of virtual experiments and data based on …

近年, CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) を利用した有限要素法などの数値解析により,
製品の特性を予測することが製品開発において主流となっている. しかし, 数値解析における計算は …
