The modern scope of boundary element methods (BEM) for acoustics is reviewed in this
paper. Over the last decades the BEM has gained popularity despite suffering from …

Vibrating structures have received considerable critical attention as they radiate sound into
enclosures where it is amplified by reflections. Surface and panel contribution analyses …

Sound radiation from vibrating structures is a crucial concern in the vehicle design process.
One effective tool to recover vibration patterns on surfaces is the surface contribution …

This thesis introduces a robust and efficient method for contribution analyses in interior
acoustics. It is based on a boundary element formulation with the sound energy density as …

Owing to physical principles, sound is emitted from vibrating structures into the ambient fluid.
The identification of vibrating patterns is thus an important aspect in the design of …
