Starting from the summer semester 2024, the Chair of Vibroacoustics of Vehicles and Machines will be offering a new supplementary course on the topic of statistical energy analysis in numerical vibroacoustics. Registration takes place via TUMonline. The module is led by Dr.-Ing. Alexander Peiffer (AUDI AG) and will be held in English.
Wave-based methods, like the Finite-Element Method, have traditionally dominated the analysis of structural vibrations and acoustics. While they are excellent at capturing the intricacies of wave propagation, they encounter challenges when dealing with complex, large-scale structures or the high-frequency domain. Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) excels in quantifying energy distribution within complex structures, providing a macroscopic view. This holistic approach allows engineers to predict and control noise levels, offering a nuanced understanding of how energy propagates and transforms within a given system. Hybrid Methods seamlessly integrate the strengths of both approaches.
