The researchers and university professors who have joined the Forum Braunschweiger Akustiker (FBA) (Braunschweig's Acousticians' Forum) have again retreated for two days at the end of May in the Drübeck Monastery in the Harz Mountains, to extensively discuss, together with their doctoral candidates, their candidates' research topics.
The researchers and university professors who have joined the Forum Braunschweiger Akustiker (FBA) (Braunschweig's Acousticians' Forum) have again retreated for two days at the end of May in the Drübeck Monastery in the Harz Mountains, to extensively discuss, together with their doctoral candidates, their candidates' research topics. These workshops - initiated originally by Prof. Langer of InfAM (Institute of Applied Mechanics) of the TU Braunschweig - have proven to be extremely fruitful with regard to the interdisciplinary exchange and the motivation of the doctoral candidates. This time, the participating institutes were:
DLR: Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology, Department Technical Acoustics
IFN: Communications Laboratory, Signal Processing Lab
IGS: Institute of Building Services and Energy Design
InfAM: Institute of Applied Mechanics, WG Wave Propagation and Building Acoustics
PTB: Departments Acoustics and Dynamics and Sound
Bauhaus Universität Weimar: Department of Building Physics.
Amongst others, the following subjects were discussed: Transfer functions for impact noise in buildings, characterization of impact noise sources without influence of the excited structures, alternative emission models for the emission of sound in delivery zones around beverage markets, simulation of beam noise, acoustic localization of helpless persons in assisted-living flats for elderly people, temperature measurements in therapeutic ultrasound fields, sound masking, transfer matrices and FE methods in sound insulation prognosis, suppression of noises for hands-free car kits, bone-conduction-evoked otoacoustic emissions, computational prognosis of fan noises, numerical studies on flow-induced sound radiation and room acoustics in museums. The acousticians of PTB were represented with four contributions.
