HEAD acoustics Presents: Applications in Sound and Vibration III

Come and attend a one-day free presentation on the application of Sound and Vibration evaluation techniques and learn how they can be applied to improve your products. Applications will be demonstrated on the latest measurement systems from HEAD acoustics.

Schedule

8:45 - 9:00 a.m.
Registration

9:00 - 10:00 a.m.
Setting up Standard Tests and Evaluating Sound Quality.

This first session will be an orientation session for the ArtemiS Multichannel Analysis software, which will be used throughout the day. Demonstrations will be given on how to set up and process data for a variety of sample noise and vibration projects. The functions used for evaluating product sound quality will also be shown.

10:15 - 12:00 noon
Using Advanced Analysis Techniques to Uncover Noise Problems

Three techniques will be demonstrated: The Hearing Model is used to display detailed time and frequency plots that accurately show "what you hear" without smearing or masking important data. The Relative Approach is used to highlight only transient data and suppress the deterministic data and background noise, thus making it useful for evaluating noise and vibration events such as squeaks and rattles. The High Resolution Spectral Analysis (HSA) highlights only the tonal components in a signal while suppressing the background noise.

12:00 - 12:45 p.m.
Lunch

12:45 - 1:45 p.m.

Simplifying the Collection and Troubleshooting of Product Noises in the Field

In this session, a simple yet effective means for handling product noise issues in the field will be shown. High quality sound recording and playback along with analysis and databasing of sounds will be covered. An example of how NoiseBook is used to organize and troubleshoot electric motor noises will be presented. It will also be shown how easy it is to collect data with PCs using the latest USB artificial heads.

2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Creating Custom Programs

Create end-of line tests, standardized routines, or custom analysis algorithms using the programming features of ArtemiS. Learn how the COM-Interfaces built into ArtemiS can be used in combination with Visual Basic or C++ to create custom applications. See how the Add-in feature can be used to include your custom analysis algorithms into the ArtemiS project for processing data.

3:15 - 4:15 p.m.
Multichannel Sound and Vibration Applications

In addition to the core Sound Quality functions, ArtemiS in combination with the SQlab frontend, can be used to handle a variety of sound and vibration tasks. This session will demonstrate how functions such as structural testing, sound power, and multichannel vibration acquisition and analysis are handled using SQlab. Distribution of ArtemiS tasks throughout a PC network is also covered.
