ICR has placed itself in a relevant position as an acoustic engineer in the international railway sector during the last decades, thanks to the trust placed on the main European rolling stock manufacturers.
Work Procedure
The working methodology used is based on techniques of forecasting close to home, on measurements of real shifts and vibrations that allow minimizing the theoretical speculation. The ability to tract both the aeri soroll and the structural soroll of each element (subsystem) that forms the train and in time of response, including not only the contribution of forces (Transfer Path Analysis) but also the quantification of the paths of soroll and vibrations (Advanced Transfer Path Analysis). This service meant a considerable reduction of waste in the new train model.
It is necessary to point out that a typical train and quantified characteristics of the fonts used to make the matérix slings, ICR is developing a numerical model that allows both the prediction of the level of slings and vibrations of a new train model as well as the calculation of the solutions to be applied in order to reduce the level of slings to the interior.
