Course #2: Power Plant Noise Control (This is not on Industrial Noise)
Instructors:
Bob Putnam - Siemens,
Frank Brittain - Bechtel
Day: Sunday 2009, August 23
Time: 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: Westin Hotel, Ottawa, Canada (room to be determined)
Cost: $100 USD (early registration, before 07/31/2009) -- $150 USD (after 07/31/2009)
Description: The Tutorial will review the basics of noise control for combustion turbine power plants – both simple and combined cycle. The major noise sources will be identified, and proven controls will be discussed. A brief description of how power plants and their equipment work will also be included. This tutorial is intended for noise control engineers who have either very limited experience with power plants, or are involved with supplying equipment for power plants and want to broaden their background.
Course #3: SEA Applications
Instructor:
Jerry Manning - Cambridge Collaborative, Inc.,
Daniel Kato - Cambridge Collaborative, Inc.
Day: Sunday 2009, August 23
Time: 9:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Location: Westin Hotel, Ottawa, Canada (room to be determined)
Cost: $200 USD (early registration, before 07/31/2009) -- $250 USD (after 07/31/2009)
Description: A one day short course on statistical energy analysis (SEA) will be offered by Cambridge Collaborative Inc. The course covers the theoretical background of SEA with a special emphasis on the assumptions made. Instruction is provided on the application of SEA modeling techniques in the analysis and design of many common structures, and practical modeling examples from different industrial situations are presented.
Course #4: BRIDGING THE GAPS IN DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
Instructor:
Wen L. Li - ME Dept., Wayne State University.
Day: Sunday 2009, August 23
Time: 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Location: Westin Hotel, Ottawa, Canada (room to be determined)
Cost: $20 USD (to be paid on site)

Description: A half day short course on the Fourier Space Element Analysis (FSEA), a recently developed approach for modeling the dynamic characteristics of complex systems over the entire frequency range. Using FSEA, a mechanical system is considered as the collection of a number of interconnected structural components such as beams and plates. The formulations of the FSEA method are based on the powerful variational or energies principles developed in finite element methods, and its modeling philosophy has well reflected the essence of the conventional substructure techniques. More explicitly, the FSEA solution is truthfully derived from the original dynamic equations by taking into account the uncertainties and the probabilistic nature of the model parameters in the mid- and high-frequency ranges. It has
stroked a delicate and optimal balance between truthfully modeling of the physical details and statistically predicting of the averages.
