Vibro-acoustic modelling of aircraft structures using Finite Element- informed Statistical Energy Analysis

Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of predicting the structure borne and airborne sound transmission in aircraft using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). Often analytical formulations are used…

Modeling Launch Vehicle Liftoff Acoustics with Ray Tracing

Abstract. Spacecraft vehicles are subject to important external acoustic load during liftoff and when they are operated in the atmosphere. During liftoff, this acoustic load is caused by the engines…

Development of a Process to Predict Whole Vehicle Aeroacoustic Interior Noise

Abstract. Quality and refinement are of paramount importance for luxury vehicles. The rapid electrification of the automotive industry has increased the contribution of aeroacoustics to the consumer…

Assessment of Aircraft Pilot Seat Performances with Digital Human Models and Virtual Prototypes

Abstract. In the aeronautic industry, some research is currently carried out to improve pilot seating and lying comfort, as well as cockpit ergonomics and accessibility. Pilots spend indeed a lot of…

Overcoming Interior Design Challenges to Improve the Comfort of Future Vehicles
