Engineering Vibroacoustic Analysis - Methods and Applications

Taking a practical approach, this book introduces the modern vibroacoustic analysis methods used to study structural vibration response, acoustic response, and structural-acoustic response of mechanical systems and transportation vehicles. The analysis methods cover low-, mid-, and high frequency noise and vibration ranges and includes the Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method (BEM), Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), Energy Analysis FEM & BEM Methods (EFEM, EBEM, AEFEM), Hybrid Methods, and Wave-Based Methods. Furnished throughout with examples and illustrations of industrial applications, the book enables readers to learn the modern vehicle vibroacoustic analysis methods that are available; be aware of how the methods are applied to mechanical and acoustical systems and understand how to predict low-, mid-, and high-frequency vibrations and noise. Furthermore, readers will know how to use vibroacoustic analysis methods in product design and development; perform transient, frequency and random, and statistical vibroacoustic analyses and choose the appropriate structural and acoustic modeling methods for various uses.
