Type of Course
Classic ATHENS course
Location
Technische Universität München
Address
Arcisstrasse 21
City
Munich, Germany
Minimum Year of Study

Language of Tuition
English
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of mechanics and acoustics is an advantage but not a prerequisite. The course includes programming examples in Python. Programming skills are strongly recommnded.
Objectives

After participating in the module, students will be able to:

  • Model and calculate complex vibroacoustic systems in the mid and higher frequency range.
  • Apply the method of Statistical Energy (Flow) Analysis (SEA)
  • Apply the Hybrid FEM/SEA Method
  • Determine the coupling between deterministic and statistical systems.
  • Establish, solve, and interpret the power flow matrix of the overall system.
  • Understand systems that contain deterministic and statistical subsystems through hybrid approaches.
  • Determine the response of vibroacoustic systems and optimize them (acoustic noise control measures)
  • Apply the Python toolbox "pyva" for small examples.
