On 18th March 2026, Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH welcomed ten PhD students as part of the European research project VAMOR (Vibro-Acoustic Model Order Reduction). The group of visitors was welcomed by our colleague Dr Johannes Guggenberger and, during a tour of the Müller-BBM Group’s test facilities, gained comprehensive insights into the practical application of state-of-the-art vibroacoustic measurement technology.
The visit was organised by Prof. Dr Gerhard Müller, Chair of Structural Mechanics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and gave the participants the opportunity to link theoretical research approaches with industrial testing practice. Particular attention was given to current methods in vibroacoustics and their measurement-based implementation under real-life conditions.
The EU project VAMOR has the overarching aim of providing a group of highly qualified PhD students with an excellent academic education, whilst also equipping them with transferable skills in the field of a new generation of efficient vibroacoustic modelling techniques. The focus is on model order reduction (MOR) strategies, which are intended to make a significant contribution to a quieter and more sustainable environment.
These objectives are achieved through the close integration of a rigorous research programme with an interdisciplinary approach to education. The visit to Müller-BBM Industry Solutions was a valuable component of this process and highlighted the importance of close collaboration between university research and industrial application.
