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 and writes progress to the student dashboard.

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.
