NVH and Vehicle Acoustics
Driving comfort and acoustic are playing increasingly important roles in vehicle development. On the one hand, the acoustic and vibration behaviour affects the qualitative evaluation of a vehicle, on the other hand legal regulations for noise emission and noise protection are getting stricter globally.
To support the vehicle development in this domain, it is important to consider the NVH behaviour of a vehicle in the early stages of the product development process. Especially the interactions between the subsystems and the overall system have to be analyzed and quantified. Therefore, we conduct research on efficient methods and processes, which realize a holistic and process-related validation regarding acoustics and vibration.
Research Focus:
- Comfort Objectification and Validation of interior and exterior Acoustics
- Simulated Drive-By Measurement
- NVH Behaviour of Fuel Cell Powertrains
Systems
Development and validation environments for:
- system "(automotive) powertrain"
- conventional and new powertrains
- hybrid and power-split powertrains
- electrical powertrains
- combustion engines
- subsystems
- transmissions and transmission topology
- auxiliary units
- air-conditioning compressor
- coolant and lubricant pumps
- comfort actuators
- window lift drives
- electrical parking brake
- parking lock mechanism
- steering assistance
- systems for active vibration reduction
- clutch systems
- exhaust systems
Methods
Development and validation methods for:
- (partially) electrical powertrains
- conventional powertrains
- ...and their components
- customer needs of the end user
- customer needs of the vehicle manufacture/supplier (scaling)
Processes
Development and validation processes:
- flow chart based validation
- processes for benchmarking and standardization
- processes for the analysis and the optimization of the NVH behavior
- processes for the analysis and the optimization of operating strategies
Equipment
