To verify the possibility of generating rattling noise from a motor on caliper brake system, a test was conducted using a caliper excited with vibrations similar to that in a vehicle running on actual roads; this test was conducted using a quiet shaker installed in an anechoic room. After several hours of external excitation, the test assembly was loosened, and the frequency of rattling noise generation increased. A microphone was used to record the generated noise. The measured signals were analyzed by conventional spectrum analysis. Since the noise is generated as an impact response, the advantages of employing Prony analysis was discussed, and the results were compared to those obtained using conventional fast Fourier transforms. The accuracy of Prony analysis was through endurance tests on different brake systems.

This paper presents vibration control of an active hybrid engine mount featuring magneto-rheological (MR) fluid and a piezostack actuator. On the basis of the conventional passive rubber mount, MR fluid is adopted to improve isolation performance at resonant frequencies, whereas the piezostack actuator is adopted for performance improvement at non-resonant frequencies, especially at high frequencies. Based on some particular practical requirements of engine mounts, the proposed mount is designed and manufactured. The characteristics of rubber element, piezostack actuator and MR fluid are verified for system analysis and controller synthesis. The model of the proposed mount with a supported mass (engine) is established. In this work, a sliding mode controller is synthesized for the mount system to reduce vibrations transmitted from the engine in a wide frequency range. Computer simulations are performed to evaluate the performances of the proposed active engine mount in time and frequency domains.

내연기관은 자동차용 기관에 의하여 일반대중과 접촉하게 되었으며, 특히 20세기 중반에 이르러 자동차라는 기계가 일반가정에서 사용되는 가구로 탈피하는 과정에서 그 중요장치의 하나인 자동차용 기관도 전문가가 취급하는 기계로부터 일반인이 취급하는 가구로의 탈피를 요구함에 따라 크게 발전해 온 것이 사실이다. 종래, 내연기관의 설계에 있어서 그 출력과 연료소비를 가장 중요한 성능평가의 요소로 삼아왔지만, 가구로서의 자동차의 최적화를 위해서는 더욱 중요한 많은 성능평가의 요소가 있다는 것을 인식할 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 실은 최적화에 필요한 많은 요소의 균형을 어떻게 할 것인가 하는 것이 자동차용 기관의 설계에 있어서 가장 중요한 일이라 생각되며, 자동차용 기관을 계획할 때의 목표는 다음과 같은 3가지로 생각된다. (1) 고성능일 것 (2) 우수한 기능을 가질 것 (3) 공해가 없을 것 (1)의 고성능을 추구하는데 있어서는 비출력, 연료소비율 및 양호한 응답성이 중요한 요소로 된다. 이중 응답성의 문제는 연료공급기구나 조속기 등의 기능적인 요소와 깊은 관련이 있다. 그리고 내구성, 신뢰성, 정비점검의 무용성이라는 것이 (2)의 우수한 기능을 보장하기 위한 가장 중요한 배경으로 된다. 또한 진동이나 소음이 없고 정숙할 것이 (3)의 무공해성의 목표와도 관 련되는 중요한 요소이다. 배출가스의 무공해화가 자동차에 의한 공해방지의 입장으로부터 중요한 요소가 되는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 그리고 이 배출가스의 청정화의 문제는 성능향상을 위한 비출력증대의 방향에 대한 방해가 되는 문제이다. 이상 기술한 바와 같은 설계단계에 있어서의 계획목표를 3가지로 설정하고, 이 3가지 목표에 관련되는 요소의 균형을 어떻게 위해야 할 것인가 하는 점에 초점을 맞추어 되도록 쉽게 기술하고자 하였으나, 미비한 점이 많았을 것으로 생각하여, 다만 이 분야에 종사하는 기술자 여러분에게 약간의 도움이라도 되었으면 하는 것이 소망이다.

내연기관의 흡기 소음을 줄이기 위한 효과적인 소음 제어 요소로서 다공형 직조관(porous woven hose)이 널리 사용된다. 직조관이 사용된 흡기계의 음향 특성을 예측하기 위해서는 직조관의 임피던스(acoustic wall impedance)에 대한 정보를 알아야 한다. 그러나, 높은 저항(resistance), 두께, 곡률, 비균질성 등의 특수한 음향학적/구조적 특성 때문에 직조관의 임 피던스를 정확하게 측정하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 소음기의 전달손실(transmission loss)을 측정하는데 널리 사용되는 간단한 측정장치를 이용하여 직조관의 임피던스를 측정하였다. 측정된 임피던스에 대해 직조상태를 나타내는 인자와 주파수를 독립 변수로 사용하여 curve-fitting을 수행하여, 직조상태가 다른 직조관의 임피던스를 예측하였다. 이렇게 예측된 임피던스로부터 실제 사용되는 범위 내에서 임의의 길이를 가지는, 직조상태가 다른 직조관의 전달 손실을 예측하였고, 측정된 전달손실과 비교하여, 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 직조관의 음향 특성을 파악하고, 직조관이 사용된 자동차 흡기계의 음향성능을 예측하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Recent developments in the prediction of the contribution of windnoise to the interior SPL have opened a realm of new possibilities in terms of i) how the convective and acoustic sources terms can be identified, ii) how the interaction between the source terms and the side glass can be described and finally iii) how the transfer path from the sources to the interior of the vehicle can be modelled. This work discusses in details these three aspects of wind noise simulation and recommends appropriate methods to deliver required results at the right time based on i) simulation and experimental data availability, ii) design stage at which a decision must be made and iii) time available to deliver these results. Several simulation methods are used to represent the physical phenomena involved such as CFD, FEM, BEM, FE/SEA Coupled and SEA. Furthermore, a 1D and 2D wavenumber transformation is used to extract key parameters such as the convective and the acoustic component of the turbulent flow from CFD and/or experimental data whenever available. This work focuses on the validation of the wind noise source characterization method and the vibro-acoustic models on which the wind noise sources are applied.

Buffeting noise through a rear window in an automobile is investigated by using lattice Boltzmann method. The generation mechanism of the buffeting noise can be understood as the resonance mechanism in a Helmholtz resonator, which is driven by the convecting vortex in a shear-layer flow over the neck of the resonator. Two methods to suppress the buffeting noise are proposed, and their effects are quantitatively assessed. Opening front window reduces the observed buffeting tonal noise by 25 dB and the overall SPL by 4 dB, and the installation of a Helmholtz resonator acting as a dynamic damper reduces the tonal component that by 35 dB and the overall SPL by 10 dB.

The worm gear is used in the motor drive system of automotive CVVL because of its compactness and self-locking ability. A ZK worm and an involute helical gear can be meshed in order to reduce production cost. However, the gearing is not suitable for the reliability and the NVH problem. To improve the dynamic performances, an optimal design process is considered. The transmission error is calculated theoretically and minimized with the several gear design parameters. An inequality condition such as the teeth interference elimination is added.
