Scope of the SymposiumThe analysis of automotive vehicle body noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) requires the use of verified modelling and computational tools which are capable of handling a wide array of uncertainty that normally arises within production vehicles. Confident and efficient prediction of both structural and acoustic responses to a wide variety of dynamic loading is needed across a wide frequency range taking account of any significant uncertainty. Given the various methods of vehicle body fabrication, joining, and welding, this is a major challenge at any frequency, even for conventional vehicles, but is especially difficult in the mid-frequency region. Moreover the challenge is expected to grow over the coming decades for Low Carbon and Hybrid vehicles, which will increasingly use downsized IC engines, Range Extender engines, and lightweight vehicle bodies comprising a mix of conventional, high-strength alloys, and composite materials. This Symposium will create an ideal opportunity for industrial and academic researchers to present and discuss, in a single-session event, new vehicle-body NVH results in the areas of modelling, computation, analysis, experimental measurement, and verification. Papers should focus on uncertain vehicle-body noise and vibration issues arising in the following areas:
Abstracts and full-length papers will be reviewed in accordance with the key-dates. The Schedule of speakers and activities at the Symposium is now available. |
