Three people stand around an aircraft model inside an anechoic chamber lined with grey and blue acoustic foam wedges. One person gestures above the model while explaining a concept, and the other two observe. The aircraft model is mounted on a stand and fitted with small cylindrical devices, suggesting an acoustics or aerodynamics experiment in a specialised research environment.

Digital Twin for Vibroacoustic Systems under Uncertainty 

Project Outline Vibroacoustic modeling is crucial in engineering systems for accurately predicting, monitoring, and controlling noise and vibration, especially in aerospace and automotive applications. Virtual decoupling techniques have been successfully […]

A researcher adjusts a piece of experimental equipment inside an anechoic chamber lined with wedge-shaped sound-absorbing panels. The setup includes a curved acoustic test section with metal and transparent components, allowing observation of a small test model positioned inside. Vertical support cables and measurement apparatus surround the equipment, highlighting a controlled environment used for acoustic and aerodynamic research.

Propeller-Wing Broadband Interaction Noise

Project outline This project addresses broadband interaction noise, one of the key contributors to community noise from modern propeller aircraft. By developing accurate predictive tools, the project will help Airbus […]

A group of visitors wearing high-visibility safety vests and hard hats stand outside a multi-storey building under construction during a site tour. The building features exposed structural framing, scaffolding and partially completed exterior walls. Several attendees gather in front of the structure while others walk across the gravel construction site. Logos for engineering firms ARUP and Farrat are visible on some safety vests. The scene is set under a bright blue sky with large clouds, highlighting a modern construction and engineering project.

Optimising Vibration Isolation Systems in Building Design

Project outline This PhD project tackles one of the most pressing challenges in modern construction: how to optimize vibration isolation systems to minimize concrete usage, reduce environmental impact, and enhance urban living. By combining […]
