Automotive Acoustics Analysis Using COMSOL Multiphysics. Open Webinar, January 29

January 21 2025, 16:00
The Audio Product Development Alliance (APDA) is hosting a new live webinar, this time with COMSOL, to discuss the latest developments in simulation technology for acoustic analysis of automotive environments. During the streaming event, Jinlan Huang, (Principal Applications Engineer, COMSOL) will discuss how to study the performance of a sound system and vehicle design thanks to the latest multiphysics tools now available.
 

The January 29 event, streamed live on Youtube, is part of a new series of online webinars promoted by the Audio Product Development Alliance (APDA), an independent, non-profit education organization founded by a team of audio industry experts committed to furthering the knowledge and skills of professionals involved in the development of audio products.

Automotive acoustics plays a vital role in vehicle design, covering the analysis of vibration and noise in mechanical components, the development of advanced car audio systems for precise sound reproduction, the optimization of ultrasonic sensors for parking and safety, and the integration of smart systems with AI-enhanced functionality. This multidisciplinary field combines acoustics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics to model and optimize components critical to vehicle performance and passenger comfort.

In this webinar, we will learn how the COMSOL Multiphysics software can be utilized to model and analyze automotive acoustic phenomena. Topics will include noise and vibration analysis in powertrain and auxiliary systems, broadband cabin acoustics with integrated audio systems, acoustic packaging with absorbers and damping layers, and electroacoustic speaker design tailored for automotive applications.

The COMSOL Acoustics Module now offers GPU support for up to 25x faster simulations of pressure acoustics in the time domain, along with new capabilities for poroacoustics, including support for modeling anisotropic materials and frequency-dependent material properties in the time domain.
