The blocked forces represent the forces that a source would exert at its interfaces if the receiving structure were rigidly constrained. Once the blocked forces and the relevant transfer functions are known, the contribution of the source to the vibration or acoustic response of a complete vehicle can be estimated without repeatedly testing the source in its final installation.\nGoal:\nThe goal of this thesis is to characterise a selected component, such as a wiper system or compressor, and determine its structure-borne contribution to interior noise. The thesis also aims to develop a repeatable workflow for characterising components mounted on Scania vehicles. This workflow will support the identification of dominant excitation forces, transfer paths, and frequency ranges that influence the interior noise response. The results may also support component benchmarking, installation optimisation, and the development of effective noise-reduction measures during the early stages of vehicle development\nAssignment:\nThe assignment is divided into four parts:\nUnderstand the Blocked Force Method.\nPlan and perform the measurements required to characterize the acoustic sources.\nDevelop a workflow for applying the Blocked Force Method.\nPrepare a final presentation and technical report.\nEducation:\nMasters student with focus on Engineering mechanics or Vehicle Acoustics.\nStrong background in MATLAB or similar tools and structural dynamics would be considered a plus.\nNumberof students: 1\nStart date: Jan/Feb 2027\nEstimated time needed: 20-25 weeks\nContact persons and supervisors:\n Mohammad Afzal, +46 8553 819 29, \nApplication: Your application should contain a covering letter, CV and transcripts.","description_format":"text","description_chars":1892,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T21:07:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.599,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T01:24:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2303,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":445730},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=445730"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/scania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-blocked-force-method-to-acoustic-sources"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2301169}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"scania.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2301169},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
