Vibro-acoustic analysis is most commonly performed in the frequency domain, implying the assumption of steady-state conditions and time harmonic excitation. Many problems, however, involve transient rather than time-harmonic signals. Many dedicated applications, like nondestructive evaluation, health monitoring, auralization and virtual sensing call for time domain approaches. Transient vibro-acoustic analysis poses specific challenges: a ...

This PhD is part of a project called “MUSIC” aiming to produce first-time right zero-defect parts through additive manufacturing. This project aims to develop monitoring solutions fusing complementary information from optical sensors, and structural and airborne acoustic emission sensors. Given the complexity of combining different monitoring data streams, the project will employ data-driven models as ...

The sustainable development and maintenance of vehicles and machines plays an increasingly important role. This involves the challenging task of monitoring and balancing the often conflicting criteria related to human health, profitability and environment. The knowledge of the forces, torques and stresses in components is of great importance to make sure that machines and vehicles stay within safety limits and retain their reliability over ...
