Center for Computational Structural Acoustics (CCSA)
Vision Statement
Develop and implement advanced computational methods for application
to structural acoustics.
Structural acoustics and vibration is the study of how sound and mechanical
structures interact;
for example, the transmission of sound through walls and the radiation of
sound from vehicle panels.
The methods developed will be reliable,
efficient, and accurate. Algorithms will be capable of running in
parallel on modern computer architectures. Special emphasis is
placed on the interaction of acoustic fluids and structures
together with boundary treatments for exterior regions.
Applications include three-dimensional scattering and radiation
from reinforced shell structures including shock response.
