Training objectives
- Provide advanced experimental methods for NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness) and comfort issues in the automotive field.
Processing of experimental vibro-acoustic data in an autonomous way for the identification of the main sources of noise and vibration in vehicles.
Use of advanced instrumentation for the experimental characterization of the NVH impact of vehicles.
Provide experimental tools for taking into account the NVH issues within the vehicle design (design for NVH) Prerequisites
- Mechanical vibrations
Course programme
- • Design for NVH: main concepts.
• The physics of sound, definition of the main acoustics properties, frequency analysis, noise propagation in free field and confined areas, instrumentation.
• Noise generation and propagation in mechanical systems for automotive applications. Sound insulation and sound absorption. Sound quality for vehicles.
• Introduction on experimental vibration testing.
• Experimental modal analysis: procedure, signal processing, transducers, estimation techniques, validation, MAC.
• Vibration signature of i.c. engines (waterfall plot, order tracking).
• Closed-loop vibration analysis: random sine, shock testing. Accelerated life testing.
• Transfer Path Analysis
• Lab testing. NVH experimental tests in operational conditions: Noise measurements in the passenger compartment, acceleration measurements, pass-by measurements.
• Lab testing. Experimental test with shut down vehicle: acoustic isolation tests, experimental modal analysis with impact hammer and electrodynamic skater of a BIW, FRF test for dynamic stiffness evaluation.
• Lab testing: MIMO testing in vibrating table. Didactic methods
- The course includes: theoretical lectures made with the aid of multimedia systems. The didactic material is uploaded before each lecture on the platform Classroom; training and laboratory activities related to the realization of technical reports on vibro-acoustic testing of vehicles, experimental modal analysis of a chassis, accelerated life testing; technical seminars by specialists and educational visits at local companies.
Deliverables are: technical reports regarding the experimental tests carried out in the laboratories; a speech of 15 minutes regarding one experimental technique explained during the course.
Lessons will be in presence. In case of particular necessity, a telematic support will be given Learning assessment procedures
- The exam includes an oral test.
The oral exam, for testing the understanding and application of the course content, consists of two parts: a 15-minute oral speech regarding one experimental technique explained during the course, to be held in the classroom; an oral test regarding the course contents.
The exam is passed if the score of each test is at least sufficient. The final mark is the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in the two tests. Reference texts
