SEMINAR, 1st Nov 2023: Dynamical Energy Analysis: Modelling high-frequency vibrational excitation of real-world structures. Professor Gregor Tanner, Professor of Applied Mathematics, University of Nottingham.

Wed 1st November 2023 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be in person (338, Peel Building). A teams link is also available to join online. Abstract: Dynamical Energy Analysis (DEA) has been established as a mesh-based ray tracing method working at mid-to-high excitation frequencies for structure-borne sound on complex vehicle structures [1]. In this talk, […]

Seminar – Effect of geometry of a room on diffusion based on ray chaotic method

Wed 17th April 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be in person (G14, Newton Building). A teams link is also available to join online. Abstract Chaos theory represents a recently developed robust mathematical method that may allow for the quantification of diffuseness by the Lyapunov exponent, and the ergodicity characteristic can be implemented in a […]

Seminar – Recent NASA research into the psychoacoustics of Urban Air Mobility vehicles

Wed 19th April 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be available on Teams. Abstract NASA maintains multiple psychoacoustic laboratories across the United States. One focus of research in these facilities is to investigate the human reaction to the noise of notional UAM vehicles. This effort will look for answers to several questions: What does a […]

Seminar: Framework for drone operating recommendations based on acoustic metrics analysis

Wed 15th June 13:00 – 14:00 UK Time This seminar will be streamed via Teams – Click here to join the meeting. Abstract The drone industry is rapidly expanding, with several applications in the pipeline: parcel delivery, blue light services, surveillance, and even people transportation. They are expected to bring important benefits such as reduction […]
