Missions

Responsibilities

• To apply the Vibroacoustic Engineering Instructions and guidelines to perform the project/offers tasks
• To perform the Vibroacoustic analysis of tenders by comparison with referent solutions and previous projects
• To Prepare the Vibroacoustic specifications and Vibroacoustic Management Plan (VAMP) to be applied in projects
• To choose the most efficient way to perform the allocation (experimental/numerical), verification and validation during tender and project phase
• To allocate the different noise sources and train assemblies through the use of AT standard methodologies.
• To perform standard Vibroacoustics tests, to postprocess the data and report to validate prediction models and type tests
• To perform standard Vibroacoustic simulations for exterior noise and interior noise using inhouse developed tools
• To liaise with the Acoustic Chief Engineer to validate Management Plan, allocations and risks.
