SenSound Introduces Vibration Mode Technology for Noise Diagnostics

By DE Editors

SenSound (GrossePointe Farms, MI) announced a breakthrough in panel contribution andvibration mode analysis technology at the Automotive Testing Expo 2005this week. The analysis technology provides insight into soundradiation and transmission paths.

According to SenSound, these new tools respond to the automotiveindustry's need to be more proactive in addressing noise attenuationand do so in a timelier manner to speed up product development cycles.These tools also help non-automotive suppliers reengineer products tomeet stricter noise regulations and help develop quieter consumerproducts.

SenSound, a technology company spun out of Wayne State University'sAcoustics, Vibration, and Noise Control Laboratory, has developedsoftware, integrated systems, and services that provide easy toimplement, accurate, and high-resolution diagnosis of vibro-acousticsources and sound transmission paths. This latest development is thecompany's first product built specifically to allow users to define anypanel or source on a surface and find its relative contribution tosound pressure levels anywhere in the interior or exterior regions.SenPC provides new means of analyzing panel or source contributions andSenVM allows vibration modes responsible for radiated sound on avibrating surface to be identified and distinguished from quiet modes.
