Acoustic and vibration engineering: how to optimize the performance and compliance of your installations?
Optimize the compliance and performance of your systems with SIM Engineering’s acoustic and vibration engineering.
In an increasingly demanding industrial context in terms of performance, regulatory compliance and acoustic comfort, companies need to integrate new levers to guarantee the reliability of their installations.Acoustic and vibration engineering is thus becoming a strategic solution, particularly in the industrial, aeronautical, automotive, rail and defense sectors. At the crossroads of mechanics, physics and digital engineering,acoustic and vibration engineering makes it possible to control vibration risks, reduce noise pollution andimprove the dynamic performance of structures. Thanks to its cutting-edge expertise and advanced simulation tools, SIM Engineering supports its customers in the analysis, modeling and acoustic and vibration optimization of their systems.
The challenges of acoustics and vibration engineering in industry
Reduced noise and vibration
One of the primary objectives ofnoise and vibration engineering is to limit undesirable noise and vibration emissions within industrial facilities. These phenomena can generate discomfort for operators, accelerate wear and tear on equipment, or lead to non-compliance with environmental and regulatory standards (Machinery Directive, ISO 10816, etc.).
Safety, compliance and brand image
Excessive vibration levels can compromise the durability of structures, trigger fatigue or failure phenomena, and call into question the safety of equipment. In addition, compliance with acoustic standards has become a major regulatory issue, both for the acceptance of new projects and for the durability of existing sites. Good acoustic management also contributes to enhancing the company’s image in the eyes of stakeholders (employees, local residents, authorities).
SIM Engineering’s expertise in acoustic and vibration engineering
With almost 30 years’ experience in numerical simulation and structural design, SIM Engineering can offer you in-depth expertise in dynamic phenomena and tailor-made technical support, from preliminary study to experimental validation.
Rigorous methodology and advanced simulation tools
Our independent design office relies on a rigorous scientific approach, combined with the use of some of the most powerfulvibration modeling and simulation tools on the market. We carry out :
- modal analysis to identify natural frequencies and mode shapes,
- harmonic analysis to predict vibratory response to periodic loads,
- acoustic studies
- sound propagation simulations,
- vibration fatigue calculations.
Concrete applications and industrial use cases
Our expertise has concrete applications in numerous industrial projects, such as :
- vibration optimization of welded structures
- acoustic analysis
- Vibration diagnosis of rotating equipment (pumps, motors, compressors),
- reduction of radiated noise from casings, sheets or boxes,
- regulatory compliance for noisy or vibrating systems.
In particular, we have supported several industrial groups withvibration test campaignscorrelated with simulation, enabling fine-tuning of models and securing designs.
Customer benefits: performance, compliance, peace of mind
When you call on SIM Engineering’s acoustic and vibration engineering services, you benefit in three ways:
- Optimizing dynamic performance: our simulations enable you to control the vibratory and acoustic behavior of your systems right from the design phase, thus limiting defects or the additional costs associated with corrective testing.
- Controlling regulatory constraints: our analyses make it easier to identify risks of non-compliance and implement effective corrective solutions.
- Reducing technical and image risks: we help you design robust, reliable and silent installations that meet market and stakeholder expectations.
