Vibro-Acoustic Model Order Reduction

Project description

Fostering next-gen researchers in vibro-acoustics

High levels of environmental noise from traffic, industry and construction adversely affect quality of life for over 100 million Europeans. While noise mitigation treatments are available, their sustainability is often comprised by increases in mass and/or volume use. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the VAMOR project will address this by developing tools that enable optimal vibro-acoustic capabilities in the early stages of product design. It brings together academic and industrial partners who will provide training in advanced vibro-acoustic modelling to doctoral candidates. The team’s objectives include developing model order reduction techniques for vibro-acoustic systems, focusing on stability-preserving reduced order models and creating efficient digital twins to monitor product performance.

Objective

VAMOR contributes to a more sustainable and quieter future for Europe. Noise pollution has arisen as one of the key factors towards the degradation of the quality of life in European societies. Adding noise treatments commonly leads to an increase in mass and/or volume usage, harming the sustainability of the respective products, e.g. leading to heavier vehicles. To avoid such solutions and striving for the sustainability and optimal acoustic behaviour of products, vibro-acoustic design needs to be pushed earlier in their design phase. Additionally, product sustainability can be also enhanced by exploiting the information included in sound waves emitted during their operation, detecting potential malfunctions. In that context, efficient physics-based sound modelling is a key enabler towards not only optimized and sustainable acoustic profiles through efficient design procedures, but also affordable so-called digital twins that monitor product performance in real time. To this end, the overarching goal of VAMOR is to provide high level scientific and transferable skills training on a new generation of efficient vibro-acoustic modelling techniques, so-called model order reduction (MOR) strategies, to a group of high achieving, competent doctoral candidates to promote a quieter and more sustainable environment. This will be achieved by combining an excellent research programme with an exemplary interdisciplinary training programme. VAMOR brings together a remarkable consortium, which combines research leading academic institutions with a constantly innovating, wide variety of industrial partners working on software, material, testing, design and sound enhancement. By deploying such an inter-sectorial, multi-disciplinary consortium, VAMOR guarantees the creation of a coordinated research environment to develop and exploit novel tools for the efficient simulation of noise and vibration and promote sustainability and acoustic comfort of products.
