Research topic

Vibroacoustics

In the research topic of Vibroacoustics we deal with the experimental and numerical analysis and control of structure-borne sound. This includes the study of both the generation and propagation of sound in lightweight structures, as well as methods for its reduction. A wide range of measurement, analysis, and simulation techniques are employed for this purpose.

The most important topics:

  • Test procedures and model validation for the medium frequency range
  • Modeling and analysis of energy transport in lightweight structures through structure-borne noise and vibrations
  • Design of passive damping measures based on viscoelastic materials
  • Automated, spatially high-resolution vibration and sound measurement technology
