Keynote Talk: Audio Product Development at Samsung Audio Lab Better and Faster With Simulations
Published in 2018
An audio loudspeaker is inherently a multiphysics apparatus: It converts an electrical signal to acoustic waves by moving a structural membrane via an electromechanical voice coil. As the signal travels from the record medium to the human ear, coupled linear as well as nonlinear mechanisms influence the sound quality at every stage. Finite element simulations have become an indispensable tool for the design of high-quality transducers and sound systems under modern-day design and time constraints. I will present several case studies that illustrate how simulation, optimization, and specialized applications are enabling engineers at Samsung to develop world-class audio products.
