Body acoustics

Body acoustics involve both oscillations/structural vibrations (body parts, windows, etc.), as well as the sound radiating from these. Depending on the source, the drive, rolling, wind or interference noise is transferred in this way and radiated.

To investigate body vibrations, commercially available acceleometers specific to the project or state-of-the-art optical methods (e.g. laser-scanning vibrometers) are used at FKFS. This way, both modal analysis for determining the natural vibration behavior, as well as the transfer path and operating vibration analysis for investigating the operating behaviour can be carried out.
