In this breakthrough research, the group led by Professor Doug James at Cornell University developed an efficient method for synthesizing realistic sounds from thin-shell structures undergoing nonlinear vibrations. The group applied their advanced codes in predicting the dynamic responses of thin shells and the FastBEM Acoustics® code from ACR in pre-computing the acoustic fields, together with their innovative far-field acoustic transfer maps, in order to generate realistic sounds in computer animations based on the physics.
