- Vibro-acoustic virtual prototyping is globally conceived as a potential game-changer in reducing costs and time to market, whilst increasing convenience and insight into the effect of design parameters. However, in vibro-acoustics significant scientific and engineering challenges remain. The paper presents one of the first numerical vibro-acoustic models to predict the acoustic insulation of metal framed stud walls with high accuracy. The result is the equivalent vibro-acoustic damping model which has proven applicable to the manufacture of roll-formed sections for Hadley Group PLC, Europe’s largest producer of steel sections. Hadley Group used the model as the primary acoustic characterisation framework.
