Precisely, the main steps of the ESR work will be the following: 1- Effects of lateral periodic ribs properties on the vibroacoustic response of the SYLDA under aerodynamic excitations. Modelling and optimizations. 2- Effects of circumferential periodic ribs properties on the vibroacoustic response of the SYLDA under aerodynamic excitations. Modelling and optimizations. 3- Effects of periodic viscoelastic patches on the vibroacoustic response of the SYLDA under aerodynamic excitations. Modelling and optimizations. An experimental demonstrator of a 1/4 scale of the SYLDA structure will be used in the ESR work program. One of the periodic concepts numerically dealt with will thus be tested allowing an experimental validation of the finding. VTC will contribute to both the numerical and experimental parts of the work. The novelty and broad applications and target society of project inspired me. Moreover, the position international scale and large network demand trigger me to apply. I believe such program provides me the opportunity to not only strengthen my current network, also built new connections based on project’s demands.
