ISAAC21 Course on Advanced Techniques in Applied and Numerical
Acoustics, 23-24 September 2010
Register
About the course
The 2010 K.U.Leuven Course on Applied & Numerical Acoustics
will take place in September 2010 in Leuven, Belgium. It is the
21st in a series of courses on experimental and numerical
techniques in applied acoustics, organised by the Department of
Mechanical Engineering of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. This
year's edition of the K.U.Leuven Applied Acoustics Course is set up
as an extended overview of some recent techniques in applied
acoustics with emphasis on applications in automotive and aerospace
industry. This overview covers techniques ranging from active noise
control to the use of boundary and finite element methods in
acoustic problems and is intended to update the expertise of
practising engineers and researchers. The overview is application
oriented with emphasis on background principles and on practical
use of the methods. The course will be illustrated with case
studies and real life demonstrations of several experimental and
numerical techniques.
Who should attend
The course on Advanced Techniques in Applied and Numerical
Acoustics is intended for researchers and engineers, active in the
field of noise and vibration analysis and optimization, who wish to
update their knowledge on some recent topics in applied acoustics.
No previous knowledge of the related topics is required; some
general background in the field of experimental and numerical
analysis techniques is however advantageous.
