The SAE 2019 Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition is the premier technical event dedicated to mobility noise, vibration, and harshness. Held biennially, this conference serves as a forum for leading automotive, commercial vehicle, and aerospace professionals to share the latest technologies surrounding NVH and sound quality.
The keynote speakers will include:
- Tuesday, June 11 – Raymond Kach, PhD: Kach started working at the Ford Motor Company in 1979 in engine simulation after receiving his master's in mechanical engineering. Kach received his Ph.D. in 1988. He spent 12 years working in the Ford Research Labs and 28 years working in Product Development. Kach has over 30 years of experience in engine modeling using 1-D engine performance tools. Kach was involved with the development and implementation of the original 1-D engine performance simulation software that accounts for pressure wave dynamics in the intake and exhaust systems to drive engine performance and exhaust/intake NVH.
- Wednesday, June 12 – John Maxon: Maxon is manager of Acoustics, Vibration, and Community Noise Engineering for Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. Maxon joined Gulfstream in 2004 as a technical specialist after working for Gulfstream’s parent company, General Dynamics, for more than 18 years. While there, he specialized in structural acoustic and vibration analysis at Electric Boat, helping to make U.S. submarines undetectable. He introduced the Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) acoustic and vibration modeling tool to Gulfstream and directed the development of Gulfstream’s Acoustic Test Facility (ATF). Presentation Title: The Sound of Synergy
- Thursday, June 13 – Daniel A. Russell, PhD: For 16 years Russell was a physics professor at Kettering University in Flint, MI, where he taught introductory and advanced physics to all levels of undergraduate students, along with acoustics and vibration courses to junior/senior engineering and physics majors. He developed an acoustics laboratory currently used for faculty and student research projects as well as for an advanced undergraduate laboratory experience in acoustics and vibration. Since 2011, Russell has been a member of the faculty in the Graduate Program in Acoustics at The Pennsylvania State University, where he teaches graduate-level courses in acoustics and vibration to both resident and distance education graduate students. Presentation Title: Making Acoustics and Vibration Concepts Accessible Through the Use of Animations
