E_Vibration an Acoustics

Vibration and Acoustics

Objective

Noises have been a constant concern in industrial, commercial and residential environments. Standards and ordinances have been limiting admissible noise levels in different situations, imposing the study of solutions at the source, the path or the receiver.

On the other side, the conditions of operation of rotating machines can be characterized for the pattern of vibrations emitted by them, which can be measured in one of its external surfaces, giving a diagnosis of the operating conditions without the need to stop the machine.

The characterization of attenuating materials, the development of dynamic methods of vibration neutralization, the identification of noise and vibration sources, and the study of propagation modes are some of the research interests in this area of concentration.

Lines of Research

  • Dynamic characterization of viscoelastic materials
  • Modal vibration and radiated sound control of complex structures by viscoelastic neutralizers
  • Active vibration control of flexible structures
  • Vehicule noise and vibration
  • Noise control / Hearing protectors
  • Predictive maintenance and fault detection in rotating machines by vibration
  • Underwater acoustics
  • Structural acoustics
