The paper presents a gradient‐based topology optimization formulation that allows to solve
acoustic–structure (vibro‐acoustic) interaction problems without explicit boundary interface …

Low noise constructions receive more and more attention in highly industrialized countries.
Consequently, decrease of noise radiation challenges a growing community of engineers …

Choosing the right number and type of elements in modern commercial finite element tools
is a challenging task. It requires a broad knowledge about the theory behind or much …

A level set based structural topology optimization method is proposed for the optimal design
of coupled structural–acoustic system with a focus on interior noise reduction. The objective …

Lightweight components are typically stiff and thin-walled and thus tend to have significant
sound radiation. Moreover using fibre reinforced plastics offers a wide range of adjusting the …

The interior noise inside the passenger cabin of automobiles can be classified as structure-
borne or airborne. In this study, we investigate the structure-borne noise, which is mainly …

This paper describes a numerical method to optimize the thickness distribution of three-
dimensional structures with respect to various vibrational and structural properties. A …

Vehicle interior noise level is the sum of the structure borne and air borne noises created on
the road. Structure borne noises become less important at higher speeds and the airflow …

This chapter introduces the reader too important physical and mathematical concepts in
acoustics. It presents an approach to finite and boundary element techniques for linear time …

In this paper, numerical simulation has been used to predict the noise inside tracked
vehicles. To determine the interaction forces between running track system and the chassis …
