Advanced Modelling, Design and Experiments of Noise and Vibration

Eric Li, Teesside University

With the increasing demand on comfort for automobiles and aircraft, more and more attention are paid in the noise and vibration (NV) research. The NV problems will not only extend the development cycle, but also require a lot of costs. The inaccurate results are misleading to the design of the mechanical part and even the failure of the component, thus the tests have always been carried out to verify numerical methods. In the early design stage, the machinery and structures are usually unavailable, so the accurate modelling and simulation of noise and vibration is becoming an important issue yet a challenge for engineering.
The goal of this minisymposium is to bring together researchers developing efficient techniques in the control of noise and vibration problems. Contributions related to the development of novel computational methods in noise and vibration, application of computational tools to study noise and vibration problems, interesting and novel designs of materials and structures as well as verification and validation of numerical methods are welcome.
