Design of acoustic insulation in ships based on predictive vibro acoustic models

The marine industry has used empirical models to predict transfer functions between source locations and noise sensitive cabins extensively in the past. These empirical methods work well for standard construction types…

Predicting the acoustics of rattle

Buzz, Squeak and Rattle (BSR) are acoustically perceived quality attributes that consistently rank among the top "things gone wrong" in initial quality surveys for many new products. BSR issues discovered late in the…

Study on mechanical characteristics of lithium-polymer pouch cell battery for electric vehicle

In order to characterize deformation and failure behaviors of Lithium-Polymer pouch cell battery and its components, various mechanical tests were performed. Uniaxial tensile properties of electrodes, separator, and…
