Event details
During its mission, a launch vehicle is subject to broadband, severe, aeroacoustic and structure-borne excitations of various provenances, which can endanger the survivability of the payload and consequently the success of the mission.
Aerospace structures are generally characterized by the use of thick layered materials, as well as by their complex geometries and connections between different subsystems. In this work a number of wave based approaches is presented in order to predict the broadband vibroacoustic response of such complex layered structural systems.

Dimitrios Chronopoulos , University of Nottingham. Prior to joining the University of Nottingham as a lecturer in Dynamics and Control, Dimitrios conducted research in Structural Dynamics and Vibroacoustics within EADS Astrium Space Transportation at Les Mureaux, France. The research was funded by the EU FP7 project coded MID-FREQUENCY and resulted in the attribution of a PhD from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon. He also holds a MSc with Distinction in Automotive Systems Engineering by Loughborough University and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens. His current research interests focus on the control, the dynamic response and the structural health monitoring of aerospace composite structures.
