Sound quality and NVH-issues(Noise, Vibration and Harshness) of vehicles has become very important for car manufacturers. It is interpreted as among the most relevant factors regarding perceived product quality, and is important in gaining market advantage. The general sound quality of vehicles was gradually improved over the years. However, today the development cycles in the automotive industry are constantly reduced to meet the customers' demands and to react quickly to market needs. In addition, new drive and fuel concepts, tightened ecological specifications, increase of vehicle classes and increasing diversification(increasing market for niche vehicles), etc. challenge the acoustic engineers trying to develop a pleasant, adequate, harmonious passenger cabin sound. Another aspect concerns the general pressure for reducing emission and fuel consumption, which lead to vehicle weight reductions through material changes also resulting in new noise and vibration conflicts. Furthermore, in the context of alternative powertrains and engine concepts, the new objective is to detect and implement the vehicle sound, tailored to suit the auditory expectations and needs of the target group. New questions must be answered: What are appropriate sounds for hybrid or electric vehicles? How are new vehicle sounds perceived and judged? How can customer-oriented, client-specific target sounds be determined? Which sounds are needed to fulfil the driving task, and so on? Thus, advanced methods and tools are necessary which cope with the increasing complexity of NVH-problems and conflicts and at the same time which cope with the growing expectations regarding the acoustical comfort. Moreover, it is exceedingly important to have already detailed and reliable information about NVH-issues in early design phases to guarantee high quality standards. This requires the use of sophisticated simulation techniques, which allow for the virtual construction and testing of subsystems and/or the whole car in early development stages. The virtual, testing is very important especially with respect to alternative drive concepts(hybrid cars, electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars), where complete new NVH-problems and challenges occur which have to be adequately managed right from the beginning. In this context, it is important to mention that the challenge is that all noise contributions from different sources lead to a harmonious, well-balanced overall sound. The optimization of single sources alone does not automatically result in an ideal overall vehicle sound. The paper highlights modern and innovative NVH measurement technologies as well as presents solutions of recent NVH tasks and challenges. Furthermore, future prospects and developments in the field of automotive acoustics are considered and discussed.

The front 2 pieces of the 3-piece steel propeller shaft installed on a 8.5-ton truck were redesigned with a 1 -piece composite propeller shaft with steel yokes and spline parts to get the reduction of weight and the improvement of NVH characteristics. Based on the analysis of bending vibration, strength and cure-induced residual stresses of the composite propeller shaft, proper composite materials and stacking sequences were selected. The composite propeller shaft requires a reliable joining method between the shaft and steel end parts through a steel connector. From 3-D contact stress analyses of the laminated composite shaft with bolted Joints, the 3-row mechanical joint which satisfies the torque transmission capability has been designed. Several full-scale composite shafts were fabricated and tested to verify the design analyses. The design requirements are shown to be satisfied. With the newly designed composite shaft, the weight reduction more than 50% and improvements in NVH characteristics have been achieved.

지속적으로 강화되는 배기가스 및 연비 규제에 대응하기 위해 자동차 업계에서는 다양한 노력을 하고 있다. 하지만 이로 인해 NVH(Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) 성능이 악화되는 경우들이 많이 발생하고 있다. 사례로 가솔린 엔진의 고압 펌프 소음 및 MPI(Multi-Point Injection)와 GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection)의 듀얼 분사로 인한 가속 천이 소음, 가솔린 터보차저 소음, 디젤 엔진에서의 분사변수 캘리브레이션으로 인해 악화되는 연소음에 대한 원인 및 개선방향을 제시하였다. 이러한 소음들은 고주파 소음으로 운전자에게 거친 청감을 유발하기 때문에 적절한 NVH 대책으로 저감시키는 노력이 반드시 필요하다.

This paper shows a whole noise quality checking system for the new developed 6th speed automatic transmission manufactured in USA. Due to demand for manufacturing of the high NVH quality transmissions in the mass product line, some special checking system called EOL NVH is adapted. This EOL system is using vibration sensor and analysis technologies. Through adapting vibration analysis technologies and functions likewise RMS, crest factor, harmonics, peak, band and order tracking, various noise problems caused by wear, nick and deformations could be successfully detected and predicted. Therefore, automatic transmissions manufactured in the USA could get high NVH quality. The developing process described in this paper and results on EOL system will offer good guides to the engineers who built the next transmission factory.

The turbocharger for a vehicle is consisting of a centrifugal compressor and turbine. These compressor and turbine are vibrating and emitting noises through the T/C body, exhaust system (Catalyst, Bellows, Pipe, etc) and Intake system (Hoses, Intercooler pipes, Intercooler) as rotating. A turbocharger cold test bench is constructed to reduce these noises, especially for the purpose of realizing transient operating environment and oil temperature control to simulate the vehicle operating characteristics with intake system and exhaust system. This research laid the groundwork to develop a lower noise level T/C through understanding the mechanism of the noise source of T/C.

In order to investigate the availability of tire airborne noise for vehicle road noise development, We measured the noise in condition of smooth road and coarse road. The correlation coefficient was analyzed using the articulation index of the tire airborne noise and the vehicle road noise. It has been found that the correlation between the tire airborne noise and the vehicle road noise is positively strong.

For optimizing the performance of SI engine such as engine torque, fuel consumption, and emissions, systems for variable valve timing were developed by many automotive researchers. In this work, we investigated the relationship between valve timing and intake orifice noise to improve the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) performance as well as engine torque and power. Two approaches are conducted, which are engine dynamometer testing and 1-D simulation analysis. Experimental data were measured on about 21 different operating conditions. This experiment shows that the intake and exhaust valve timing related to overlap period influence on the NVH performance, especially intake orifice noise of engine at given range of operation conditions. Similar results are achieved by using 1-D simulation analysis. It is concluded that the optimal strategies of controlling valve timing and tuning intake systems, are necessary to develop engines or vehicles with good sound quality.

Dynamic stability of the vehicle rearview mirror is an important factor for the driver's visual perception (image blur) when driving down the road and regarded as one of the vehicle level N&V performance of visible component vibration. Several projects within GM identified a set of objective metrics and validation methods that can replace current existing subjective evaluation of mirror stability. This paper presents objective evaluation results for assessing dynamic stability (angle of rotation) of the vehicle rearview mirrors using both in-lab FRF measurements and on-road testing.

Finding reasonable flexural modes from the full vehicle modal testing has always been a difficult job to N&V engineers due to FRF inconsistency, nonlinearity, heavy damping and, in many cases, interactions between global body structural modes and massive isolate/non-isolated subsystem modes. This paper provides a brier overview of the mode map validation using single-run FRF measurement with highly sensitive accelerometers fur the full vehicle modal analysis and then it can be used to characterize the vehicle's global/local vibration performances, especially customer perceived "structural feel" typically below 40Hz.

삶의 질적 향상에 대한 소비자의 욕구가 증대되고 환경문제에 대한 관심이 실생활과 밀접한 관계가 있는 자동차에 미치게 되면서, 배기가스 규제 강화와 함께 소음에 대한 소비자의 요구 수준이 점점 높아지고 있다. 자동차의 소음은 일반적으로 주행시 외부로 방사되는 주행소음(pass-by noise)과 승차감에 영향을 미치는 실내소음으로 구분할 수 있는데, 주행시 외부소음은 국내 2002년 법규와 유럽의 법규 등에서 그 규제가 점점 강화되고 있고, 실내소음은 자동차의 상품성을 좌우하는 요소로서 그 중요성이 점점 커지고 있다 각 자동차 생산업체들은 NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) 개선에 많은 관심을 두고 있으며, 특히 주행소음 및 실내소음 전반에 있어 발생요인으로 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 파워트레인(엔진 및 트랜스미션)에 대한 NVH 개선에 많은 투자를 하고 있다. 최근 개발되고 있는 차세대 자동차 엔진들을 보아도 EU의 2005년 EURO-IV배기가스 규제 및 북미의 SULEV 규제를 만족함과 동시에, 연비 향상과 NVH 향상을 개발 목표로 하고 있음을 알 수 있다.(중략)
