Session Titles and Descriptions for Noise-Con 2008

Technical Activity 6.0: Transportation Noise

6.1 Tire-Pavement Noise Measurement Techniques - Go back - Submit Abstract

INCE Organizers: Paul Donavan, Robert Rasmussen

Tire-pavement interaction noise substantially contributes to overall highway traffic noise levels. Many measurement methodologies are being applied to measure tire-pavement noise, including ones that measure the noise close to the tire (e.g., CPX, OBSI) and others that measure the noise on the side of the road (e.g., SPB, developing time-integrated method). We invite practitioners to present papers on tire-pavement noise measurement techniques, including methodology descriptions, applications of the method or data, and analysis results based on the data.

6.2 Tire-Pavement Noise Mechanisms - Go back - Submit Abstract

INCE Organizers: Robert Rasmussen, Paul Burge

We invite authors to submit papers on work related to any of the vibroacoustical mechanisms that collectively define tire-pavement noise. Numerical or experimental studies of tire-pavement interaction are welcome; those with a link to human perception in the vehicle and/or wayside are encouraged.

6.3 Noise from Transit System - Go back - Submit Abstract

INCE Organizer: Deborah Jue

We invite papers relating to noise generated by the variety of systems used to transport the public (e.g., rapid transit, light rail, municipal bus, automated people movers, etc.) and its impact on the surrounding environment (residential neighbors, schools, offices, hospitals, etc.)

6.4

6.5 Aircraft Interior Noise - Go back - Submit Abstract

INCE Organizers: Mark Downing, Jerry Farstad, Pascal Neple

Papers on aircraft interior noise, noise control applications or case studies, are invited. This session will encourage attendee participation to gain the benefit of shared experiences and lessons learned.

6.6

6.7 Space System Aero and Vibro-Acoustic Noise - Go back - Submit Abstract

INCE Organizers: Haisam Osman, Indranil Dandaroy

This session will cover all aspects of launch vehicle and missile aero and vibro-acoustics, including fluctuating pressure loads from both the propulsion system and turbulent boundary layer, as well as internal noise and vibration predictions and measurements.

6.8 Noise from Flow Over Exterior Features (joint with ASME NCAD) - Go back - Submit Abstract to Noise-Con - Submit Abstract to NCAD - What's the difference?

INCE Organizer: Mike Lucas, ASME NCAD Organizers: Ted Farabee, Brent Paul

This session will focus on both exterior and interior noise generated by flow over vehicle exteriors. Areas of interest include; automobile noise, airframe noise, cavity flow acoustics, noise due to flow over vehicle exterior components, flow-roughness noise, and any other forms of noise or excitation from flow over surface irregularities. The session seeks presentations of basic and applied studies in these areas. These studies may be experimental, theoretical, or numerical in nature and can address efforts to understand noise mechanisms and/or methods to control or reduce noise. Industrial experiences related to these flow noise areas are also of particular interest.
