To verify the Finite Element Method(FEM) model of an Exhaust System, Frequency Response Function(FRF) is utilized. Up to now, generally, comparisons of natural frequencies and mode shapes of the Exhaust System between numerical analysis and experimental results are adopted to prove completion of the FEM model. However, the comparisons of natural frequencies and mode shapes are not sufficient to have the perfect FEM model of the Exhaust system. Instead of these comparisons. FRF method is introduced for the more accurate FEM model.

As automobile industry develope, design techniques to satisfy light weight and high efficiency in automobile parts is demanded. In this study modal analysis is performed using transfer matrix method to identify dynamic characteristics of exhaust system. It is estimated the theoretical transfer function by Pestel-Leckey method and the mode shapes in 3-D graphic. the validity of developed program is verified by comparing with the experimental results of exhaust system. Estimated modal parameters(natural frequency, vibrational mode, transfer function) are in accord with the experimental results. From the developed program, we can predict a location of the hanger which is determined by the lowest RMS value point, when displacement is given as an input at the engine side. We can find that attachment of spring modelled hanger at the hanger location bring vibration level down.

The effect of the joint condition of automotive muffler shell and baffle on radiated noise from muffler shell Is studied. Shell vibration characteristics, especially shift In natural frequency and change in of response amplitude, was identified from finite element analysis and modal tests for various joint conditions between shell and baffle. When there is heat expansion and inner pressure from the exhaust 9as in the muffler with elliptical cross section, the shell expands out, and construct gap with baffles. This gap causes more degrees of freedom of shell vibration and natural frequency shift. By welding the muffler shell to the baffles or using a dual shell muffler, the radiated noise problem could be mitigated supplying more a rigid joint and damping, respectively.

The exhaust systems are usually subjected to vibration or shock at high temperatures. The high temperature fatigue tests of the exhaust systems are rarely performed in domestic industries due to limited number of test facility and high test costs. In this paper, the high temperature fatigue test of some part of the exhaust system, not the whole system, is carried out. The resonator located at the central range is heated in the cylindrical electric furnace and the alternating load is applied on the end of the pipe welded to the resonator. The high temperature fatigue strength of the welded joint is obtained. The location of the fatigue crack is different to that in room temperature.

The exhaust system could be a dominant acoustical source in the passengers vehicle. It would be very important to obtain the acoustically good exhaust system, in order to control the cabin interior sound in automotive. In order to obtain the acoustically good exhaust system in automotive, many kinds of exhaust system should be measured, and simultaneously those results should be compared by the sound quality parameters. In this paper, in order to develop the methodology determining sound quality parameters, acoustic simulator is introduced, combining the time domain analysis and convolution analysis. As an example to verify the reliability of this method, several kinds of measurements are carried out, and the acoustically good exhaust system is selected, based on this proposed method.

Flow characteristics of a compressible gas flow through a rotating disc-type rotary valve are investigated experimentally under various conditions. It is known that the mass flow rate through poppet valves of 4-stroke cycle engines and through piston valves of 2-stoke cycle engines decrease with increase in engine speed. Rotary valve is one means by which air may be made to flow inter-mittently through a pipe. In this paper an exhaust system simulator of engine was used to experi-mentally analyze the decrease in flow rate at high rotation speeds and to determine what variables other than rotational speed give rise to the observed behaviour. These variables have been included in an empirical equation which is representative of the measured flow characteristics.

The purpose of this paper is to verify a finite element model of an automotive exhaust system using Modal testing. In general, a lot of finite element models are used in initial design step of automotive development. One of them is a finite element model of an exhaust system. Verification on the finite element model of an automotive exhaust system is indispensable. In this paper, a finite element analysis on the exhaust system using MSC/NASTRAN is carried out, and the results are compared with those obtained by modal testing. By comparing MAC values of the analytical modes with the experimental modes, the finite element model of the automotive exhaust system is verified.
