Noise And Vibration Control White Paper For Purchasing Managers Now Available

Purchasing managers and product designers seeking to build cost-effective noise and vibration controls into their product designs can obtain a systematic and concise tutorial outlining the four principal tools for noise and vibration control (damping, isolation, absorption and barrier materials), authored by E-A-R Specialty Composites (E-A-R). E-A-R, arguably the world leader in composite/elastomer engineering and product development for handling noise, vibration, comfort, thermal requirements and/or shock, hopes that the "The Four-Fold Method of Noise and Vibration Control" white paper will help purchasing managers and their companies' product design teams get a better understanding of how passive acoustical systems can best be used to improve product designs at the lowest cost.

George Gabuzda, Senior Director of E-A-R comments, "Whether manufacturers are attempting to retrofit noise and vibration controls into existing products, or considering new product designs, it pays to have a better handle on basic principles that affect choices of materials for noise or vibration controls. Because E-A-R manufactures the broadest selection of materials for noise and vibration controls available from a single source, we usually can offer a wider selection of choices for noise and vibration controls than is expected. Choosing the right materials for a particular noise or vibration problem does not require magic, but can sometimes be tricky. Through many years of partnering with manufacturers to solve noise and vibration problems, E-A-R's engineers know both the usual noise sources in product designs, and how to efficiently diagnose the specific acoustic signature of a particular model. E-A-R authored "The Four-Fold Method of Noise and Vibration Control" to help purchasing managers and their companies' product design teams gain a better understanding of underlying design issues that impact noise and vibration control."
