Master Thesis - MATLAB/Python toolbox for Air-borne transfer function

Air-borne Transfer Functions (ATFs) describe how external acoustic excitation translates into noise inside a truck cab. Scania has existing ATF measurements stored in MATLAB files that can support component target setting and cabin noise estimates. This thesis aims to make those measurements easier for different teams to use through a MATLAB/Python toolbox and graphical user interface.

The assignment

• Design a GUI structure that supports different acoustic source locations, cabin evaluation points, transfer function formats, and cab and engine sizes.
• Examine and interpret the existing ATF datasets without carrying out new measurements.
• Implement the toolbox software and incorporate the available ATF data.
• Document the work in a final report and present the results.

Who we are looking for

• Master’s student specialising in engineering mechanics, acoustics or computer science.
• A strong command of MATLAB or comparable tools is an advantage.

What we offer

• Access to existing Scania ATF measurement data for the project.
• Thesis supervision with a named contact at Scania.
