Presented at the conferece "Mathematics in the Automotive Industry" in 1989 and later published
in the proceedings Mathematics in the Automotive Industry , edited by J.R. Smith, Clarendon

The prediction of noise from the design of an engine requires computational models for predicting both the
vibratory and acoustic properties. In this paper recent developments in the use of the finite element method
for predicting the vibratory properties and the application of the boundary element method for
prediction of the acoustic properties are considered. the methods are demonstrated on the Ricardo crankcase simulation rig.
