Aircraft Noise Shielding Assessment: The creation of a software tool to predict aircraft noise shielding

The amount of air traffic is increasing and cities become more and more populated. Since airports tend to be located close to or inside cities, an increasing amount of people suffer from aircraft noise pollution. More silent aircraft are needed to be able to reduce this noise pollution. One way to do this is through blocking the engine noise...

Development and Reuse of Engineering Automation

Increasingly engineers in, for example, Aerospace Engineering create software to support their daily engineering activities. This is referred to as Engineering Automation. A prime example of Engineering Automation is Knowledge Based Engineering. It is desirable to reuse and share this software, rather than to discard it soon after its creation....
