Project Description

This research project is part of an ambitious and multidisciplinary project (dXBel) aimed at developing and validating a vibro-acoustic virtual mock-up allowing the simulation, reconstruction and listening of the noise to the operator and to the passing of recreational vehicles. 

The objective of this tool is to listen to and compare the acoustic behavior of recreational vehicles for different configurations, to lead to quieter vehicles for the operator and the passage, to improve their sound quality, to reduce the time required for development and to reduce the number of prototypes. This, the vibro-acoustic mock-up will virtually modify the sound signature, according to the desired sound profile by users.

The research work of the student at the master's degree (Maîtrise) consists in validating the mock-up from a perceptual point of view (sound quality), to ensure the good reproduction of sound signals. The student will work with a PhD student, a professional research and two professors, specialists in acoustics and vibration. 

The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Centre de technologie avancées BRP-Université de Sherbrooke Advanced Technology Center and involves 11 graduate students. https://cta-brp-udes.com/fr/projet-dxbel Sound, vibration and basic signal processing skills are desired.
