In order to enhance the dynamic stiffness of automotive panel, effect of bead and curved surface was investigated. Modal test was performed for principle specimens which have various kinds of beads, holes and curved surfaces. Test was also performed for conventional dash panel assembly and rear floor panel assembly and curved shaped ones. Results showed that curved shape increased the natural frequency of automotive panel more effectively than the bead. Finite element analysis was also performed and yielded good match with the test results.

High level of tractor noise may reduce operator's work performance and cause a hearing problem. This study was carried out to investigate the cab noise of a selected agricultural tractor. The noise was measured and analyzed in terms of sound and sound intensity levels. Form the results it was known that a structure-born noise was induced from the feet-rest and rear floor panel of the cab. The air-borne noise caused mainly by the engine was transmitted into the operator's position through the small openings of cab structures in the operator's lower front area.
