Vibro-acoustic analysis of a domestic product based on experimental measurement and hybrid modelling (2021)
Journal Article

The purpose of this paper is to present a case study whereby a hybrid experimental-numerical model is used to analyse the structureborne
radiation from a domestic product (vacuum cleaner head). The passive (including radiative) properties of the str... Read More about Vibro-acoustic analysis of a domestic product based on experimental measurement and hybrid modelling.

Component replacement TPA : a transmissibility-based structural modification method for in-situ transfer path analysis (2021)
Journal Article

In-situ Transfer Path Analysis is a diagnostic method used to analyse the propagation of noise and vibration through
complex built-up structures. Its defining feature is the invariant characterisation of an assembly’s active components
(i.e. vibrat... Read More about Component replacement TPA : a transmissibility-based structural modification method for in-situ transfer path analysis.

An experimental exploration of the properties of random frequency response functions (2020)
Journal Article
Clot, A., Meggitt, J., Langley, R., Elliott, A., & Moorhouse, A. (2021). An experimental exploration of the properties of random frequency response functions. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 491, 115773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2020.115773

The vibro-acoustic analysis of complex structures over a broadband frequency range is an extremely challenging problem that may often require the use of a hybrid deterministic-statistical approach. Due to manufacturing imperfections, the frequency re... Read More about An experimental exploration of the properties of random frequency response functions.

Finite element model updating using in-situ experimental data (2020)
Journal Article

Conventional model updating methods are based on frequency response functions (FRFs) and/or modal parameters
estimates obtained from freely suspended, or sometimes rigidly constrained, sub-structures. These idealised boundary
conditions are however... Read More about Finite element model updating using in-situ experimental data.

A framework for the propagation of uncertainty in Transfer Path Analysis (2020)
Journal Article

Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) is a test-based methodology used to analyse the propagation of noise and vibration
in complex systems. In this paper we present a covariance based framework for the propagation of experimental
uncertainty in classical,... Read More about A framework for the propagation of uncertainty in Transfer Path Analysis.

Dynamic sub-structuring (DS) is the procedure by which the passive properties (i.e. frequency response functions)
of an assembled structure are predicted from those of its constituent sub-structures. In this paper we are concerned
with the propagat... Read More about A covariance based framework for the propagation of correlated uncertainty in frequency based dynamic sub-structuring.

Evaluation of uncertainties in classical and component (blocked force) transfer path analysis (TPA) (2019)
Journal Article

Transfer path analysis (TPA) has become a widely used diagnostic technique in the automotive and other sectors. In classic TPA, a two-stage measurement is conducted including operational and frequency response function (FRF) phases from which the con...

Robust NVH engineering using experimental methods - source characterization techniques for component Transfer Path Analysis and Virtual Acoustic Prototyping (2019)
Journal Article

A major challenge in automotive NVH engineering is to approach complex structure-borne sound and vibration problems with sufficient accuracy but reasonable experimental effort. Typical issues encountered are poor correlation between objective compone...
