Finite Element Analysis for Damped Vibration Properties of Panels Laminated Porous Media

A numerical method is proposed to calculate damping properties for sound-proof structures involving elastic body, viscoelastic body, and porous media. For elastic and viscoelastic body displacement is modeled using conventional finite elements including complex modulus of elasticity. Both effective density and bulk modulus have complex quantities to represent damped sound fields in the porous m...

Traces - Body, Motion and Sound

In this paper the relationship between body, motion and sound is addressed. The comparison with traditional instruments and dance is shown with regards to basic types of motion. The difference between gesture and movement is outlined and some of the models used in dance for structuring motion sequences are described. In order to identify expressive aspects of motion sequences a test scenario is...

The Uncanny Body of Early Sound Film

he first synchronized sound films were widely hailed as a forward leap in cinematic realism. Many critics and other commentators noted that everything in the films and, most strikingly, the speaking human figures in them now appeared to be more lifelike, present, and three-dimensional. Today, silent films seem to viewers who are not accustomed to watching them to be remote, bound by conventions...

Visualization of Elastic Body Dynamics for Automotive Engine Simulations

Simulation of engine dynamics is a well established field of work in the automotive industry. We have worked closely with one of the companies developing industry-leading software for dynamic simulation of cranktrains to improve the model creation in their product. We have extended the modeler with a 3D preview of the engine which enables users to view a more direct representation of the design...
