Structure borne sound
Structure borne sound starts life as vibration that is propagated through structures as vibration and subsequently radiated as sound. It typically originates due to internal forces acting within a vibrating machine. Physical connections between the source (vibrating machine) and receiving structure allow vibrational energy to be transmitted into the supporting structure from which it may be radiated as audible sound or felt as vibration.Leading expertise
The Acoustics Research Centre has world leading expertise in structure-borne sound, particularly:
Source characterisation |
Methods for intrinsic characterisation of SBSV sources based on in situ or test bench measurements – the data generated is transferrable to other installations or may serve as input to numerical models |
Transfer path analysis |
Diagnostic transfer path analysis based purely on in situ measurements |
Time domain forces |
Experimental identification and quantification of forces at acoustic frequencies in the time-domain based on either test bench or in situ measurement |
In situ measurement |
In situ measurement of structural dynamic properties including of isolators. |
