In this study, we propose a more systematic design process for the structure-borne noise. The proposed way consists of 4 steps: Problem definition, Cause analysis, Development of counter-measure and Validation. Especially, we improved the second step: Cause analysis. According to the PCA(Panel Contribution Analysis), a reduction in vibration of the panels of which panel contribution is positive and larger, results in a reduction in structure-borne noise. We have, however, met the case in which the concept of PCA is no valid in a few vehicle tests. In order to understand this phenomenon, we compared the major panels selected by PCA with the one chosen by DSA(Design Sensitivity Analysis). After investigating the difference between the two results, a more improved process is suggested. The proposed one for the second step in the design process consists of not only the previous way: PCA with deformation analysis results but also DSA. It is finally validated that the proposed design process decreases the sound pressure of the concerned noise transfer function more than 3.5 dB.

This paper presents the method for structure borne noise analysis of a flexible body in multibody system. The proposed method is the superposition method using the flexible multibody dynamic analysis and the finite element one. This method is executed in 3 steps. In the 1st step, time dependent quantities such as dynamic loads, modal coordinates and gross body motion of the flexible body are calculated through a flexible multibody dynamic analysis. And frequency response functions of those time dependent quantities are computed through Fourier transforms. In the 2nd step, acoustic pressure coefficients are obtained through structure-acoustic coupling analyses by the finite element method. In the final step, frequency responses of acoustic pressure at the acoustic nodes are recovered through linear superposition of frequency response functions with acoustic pressure coefficients. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified in the numerical example of a simple car model.

As a matter of fact, it has been not allowed to modify the shape of a vehicle body skeleton since the technical definition for the structure was fixed and the corresponding molds were developed. By the way, if it is available to apply an alternative to reinforce the skeleton without changing its mold, it must be much flexible to improve the performance qualities relevant to not only NVH(noise, vibration and harshness) but also crash and durability. Recently, a solution of so-called composite body becomes available for the need. We present a design method to insert the composite body inside a vehicle body skeleton in order to improve a structure-borne noise at the idle condition. The algorithms, topology optimization and design sensitivity analysis, are applied to mainly search the sensitive structural sections in the body skeleton and to extract the target stiffness of the sections. Inserting the composite bodies into the sensitive portions, it is predicted to achieve the countermeasures which can compromize the design availability in terms of the idle noise and weight. According to the validation result with test vehicles, the concerned noise transfer function is reduced and the idle booming noise is resultantly improved.

With the importance of comfortable environment, research about noise reduction of construction is consisting much. If construction receives the input force, noise will be generated thereby. We must predict vibration and noise characteristic to reduce structured borne noise, and construction which become a basis of such research is plate. In order to predict the radiating noise from the vibrating surface. It is required to know the velocity distribution of vibration surface exactly. It is good to use bead for reducing vibration and noise of plate. In this study, we have analyzed structure-borne noise of plate with bead and compare with plate that there is no bead about equal exciting force.

The signal patterns of slosh noise produced by the fuel tank of a passenger vehicle are characterized by analyzing vehicle interior noise, fuel tank vibration, and near-field noise radiated from the fuel tank. This paper also shows the noise transfer path analysis results performed from the fuel tank to the vehicle inside. On top of them, physical index is described, demonstrating a good correlation with subjective feeling of slosh noise. It is essential to identify the main noise transfer paths for redesigning of the fuel tank system aiming at reducing slosh noise and also helpful to apply physical index in evaluating and reducing this noise. It is found that structure-borne path is the main root of slosh noise and a value reveals a good correlation with subjective feeling.

This paper presents practical work on the reduction of gear whine noise. In order to identify the source of the gear whine noise, transfer paths are searched and analyzed by operational deflection shape analysis and experimental modal analysis. It was found that gear whine noise has an air-borne noise path instead of structure-borne noise path. The main sources of air-borne noise were the two global modes caused by the resonance of an axle system. These modes created a vibro-acoustic noise problem. Vibro-acoustic noise can be reduced by controlling the vibration of the noise source. The vibration of noise source is controlled by the modification of structure to avoid the resonance or to reduce the excitation force. In the study, the excitation force of the axle system is attenuated by changing the tooth profile of the hypoid gear. The modification of the tooth profile yields a reduction of transmission error, which is correlated to the gear whine noise. Finally, whine noise is reduced by 10 dBA.

Transfer path analysis(TPA) and operational deflection shape(ODS) have been widely utilized to analyze the characteristics of noise. TPA enables to decompose a noise into air-borne and structure-borne noises then estimate the path contribution of noise. ODS enables to analyze a moving shape and direction of interest components at a particular frequency. In this paper, TPA and ODS are applied to transfer paths of air-conditioner booming noise in a vehicle to reduce noise level, then a fixture is mounted it's path for distributing the high portion path contribution to the low portion path contribution. Through this experiment, the reduction of sound pressure level in air-conditioner booming noise is observed. Thereafter, TPA is again employed to verify the results of contribution.

지하철 인근 지역에서 차량 통과 시 차륜과 레일의 상호작용으로 인한 진동이 지반을 통하여 건물까지 전파되어 구조전달음이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 구조전달음이 발생하는 지하철 인근 지역에서 도로나 주거단지가 새롭게 조성될 예정인 경우, 완공 이후에 발생하는 구조전달음 영향을 사전에 평가하고 대책을 수립하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 국내에 위치한 일부 역사에서의 구조전달음을 측정하고 국외의 예측식을 검토하여 구조전달음의 실측치와 예측치를 비교한다. 따라서 국내 지하철의 구조전달음 예측에 대하여 국외 예측식의 타당성을 검토함으로써 향후 건설될 지하구간 역사의 인근 주거지역에 대한 구조전달음을 예측하는데 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Transfer Path Analysis is technique predicting transmitted energy through each path. Using the Transfer Path Analysis, structure-borne noise and air-borne noise can be predicted from the system. In this study, however, the Transfer Path Analysis to target only the structure-borne noise due to the noise radiated from the vibrating panel was performed. Predicted noise by the Transfer Path Analysis and measured noise by the experiment were a high correlation. We confirmed the validity of the Transfer Path Analysis through the analysis of these results, showed how to apply the Transfer Path Analysis.
