Coupled Fluid–Structure–Acoustic Analysis of Flow‐Induced Noise Control Using an Elastic Baffle in a Micro Channel

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This research explores how fluid flow, structural movement, and sound interact in an elastic baffle system. Using a numerical approach based on the finite element method, the study analyzes how noise and vibrations change with different baffle configurations. The findings reveal that shortening the baffle by half reduces noise transmission by 9%, while

Technology Development Outsourcing: When to Join Forces With a Rival?

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowing the challenges of collaborating with a competitor in developing new technologies, firms sometimes still choose a competitor instead of a noncompeting technology provider. To explore why, this study adopts an inter‐organizational trust view to explain the formation of a technology development outsourcing relationship.
