Analysis and design of lightweight solutions for structural vibrations induced by subsonic confined flows KU Leuven
To reduce the fuel consumption and the material use, the use of lightweight materials is entering the industrial practice for flow-confining structures, such as ventilation ducts, automotive exhaust systems and car underbodies. Unfortunately, such lightweight constructions typically exhibit poor vibro-acoustic properties and unsteady pressure fluctuations in the flow can easily excite vibrations of the structure. These flow-induced vibrations ...
