Abstract Structure borne noise induced by vibrating systems is considered as a major
contribution to the noise generated inside vehicles and can be assessed using Transfer …

We present a novel method for updating the joint properties, including the rotational degrees
of freedom (DOFs), of finite element (FE) models of complex structures. Updating is based …

Blocked forces can be used to describe, independently, the operational characteristics of a
vibratory source. Their use within a computational model avoids the need to represent …

Abstract Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) is a test-based methodology used to analyse the
propagation of noise and vibration in complex systems. In this paper we present a …

This paper presents frequency response function (FRF) expansion techniques that minimize
the difference between the analytical and predicted FRF matrices to satisfy the FRF …

Interior noise is a challenge for Rolling Stock manufacturers in the search for a comfortable
travel experience. To achieve interior noise levels respecting customer requirements, it is …

Structure borne noise is considered a major contribution to the noise generated inside
aircrafts. In order to analyze it, engineering methods have been developed such as Transfer …

The field of modal testing and analysis is currently facing a surge of interest in error
modelling. Several errors which occur during testing campaigns are modelled analytically or …

Blocked forces have become an increasingly popular means of characterising the
operational behaviour of vibrating machines (such as pumps, engines, gearboxes, electric …

In the framework of component-based transfer path analysis (CB-TPA), the Interface
Completeness Criterion (ICC) is used to select the mobility completeness, ie, the number of …
