In this paper, we focus on the ACM2 (Area Contact Model 2) model as a simplified spot weld model suitable for vibration analysis and reveal its dynamic characteristics. First, the theoretical backgrou....
Stiffened panels are encountered in many engineering systems since the stiffeners comprise the mechanism which provides support and rigidity to the panel's skin. Either a mechanical excitation or an a....
Fuel sloshing noise is involved with flow motion inside fuel tanks as well as structural characteristics of vehicles. Therefore it is necessary to introduce Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis ....
Spot-weld in most of vehicle modal analysis is modeled as a Rigid-beam, which is found that the stiffness of spot-weld can not be controlled and is highly dependent on mesh. A new simulation method of....
Typically, in the automotive industry, the design of the body damping treatment package with respect to NVH targets is carried out in such a way to achieve panel mobility targets, within given weight ....
To reduce interior noise effectively in the vehicle body structure development process, noise and vibration engineers have to first identify the portions of the body that have high sensitivity. Second....
This paper presents progressive techniques based on the previous SAE papers [1], [2] for vibration transmission analysis (VTA) on finite element (FE) model using Transfer Path Analysis (TPA). The tech....
This paper presents a modeling method for prediction of low-frequency road noise in a steady-state condition where rotating tires are excited by actual road profile undulation input. The proposed fini....
This paper presents new results regarding damping of structural vibrations using the elastic wedge method. An elastic wedge is a plate, or a rod, whose thickness decreases smoothly towards zero. Flexu....
A new approach is proposed to solve for the eigen-values and eigen-functions of circular plates with circular holes by using the Rayleigh Ritz Method. In this method, the spatial solution is expanded ....
