Computational Acoustics

Guided exercise pages

These pages form the second layer of the digital course. They are separate from the theory lectures, but every exercise is linked to a lecture.

Available now

Guided online classroom exercises connected to submission, grading and dashboard feedback.

CA03

1D Acoustic FEM Duct

available

Assemble 1D acoustic finite-element matrices, apply boundary conditions, compare with analytical duct resonances and run an editable Python frequency-response model.

Core numerical exercise60–90 min

CA04

Euler–Bernoulli Beam Modal Frequencies

available

Compute beam section properties, estimate analytical cantilever bending frequencies, assemble a small Euler–Bernoulli FEM model and interpret damping and acoustic relevance.

Core structural FEM exercise60–90 min

CA05

Rayleigh Integral Plate Radiation

available

Discretise a baffled vibrating plate into constant-velocity patches, evaluate a Rayleigh-integral pressure estimate and interpret radiation indicators such as coincidence frequency.

Radiation and BEM-preparation exercise60–90 min

CA06

Image-Source First Reflections

available

Construct direct and first-order reflected paths in a rectangular room, compute arrival times and estimate simple early-energy room-acoustic descriptors.

Geometrical-acoustics exercise45–75 min

CA07

Two-Subsystem SEA Model

available

Assemble and solve a two-subsystem SEA loss-factor matrix, vary damping/coupling parameters and convert subsystem energy into averaged response quantities.

Energy-balance exercise45–75 min

CA08

Hybrid Method Selection and Coupling

available

Choose suitable hybrid method combinations for multi-region acoustic problems and compare weak iterative coupling with a monolithic coupled reference.

Method-selection and coupling exercise45–75 min

CA09

FRF Parameter Fitting and MAC/FRAC

available

Fit stiffness and damping from a synthetic frequency-response function, compute MAC/FRAC-style agreement measures and prepare a validation statement.

Validation and model-updating exercise60–90 min

Planned next

Additional backend lab cases will be added after these guided exercises are stable.
