DFMEA Overview, Application and Facilitation

2025-05-14
This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. This course serves a dual purpose: it delves into fundamental DFMEA principles and their practical applications while also offering guidance on leading DFMEA teams. Participants will be introduced to crucial FMEA concepts, along with the theoretical foundations before exploring how to implement these concepts in their DFMEA endeavors. Often, the FMEA process can become a mere replication of past efforts, which poses risks for both organizations developing the products under scrutiny and the end-users.

Leading High Performance Teams

2025-05-13
Team development is organizationally a complex undertaking that requires effective coordination within a company and occasionally between companies. During team activities, members are confronted with a number of ongoing organizational challenges and there is a high potential for conflict between participants in the process.  This course addresses teamwork and other 'soft side' factors that largely determine whether product development programs are successfully completed on schedule. The content is relevant for both OEMs and suppliers.

DFMEA Overview and Application

2025-05-13
During this DFMEA Overview and Application course, participants will be introduced to important FMEA concepts, the basic theory behind the concepts, then discuss how these concepts can be applied to the customer's design FMEA activities. Participant activities include: reading assignments, group discussions, exercises, building Block Diagrams as a group, and beginning a DFMEA on a customer’s product.

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

2025-05-12
This session discusses the noise sources, noise signatures, noise control strategy, and NVH technology unique to electric and hybrid powered vehicles. It is intended to bring a greater awareness of the NVH characteristics of these new vehicles to all NVH practitioners. At the same time, it will provide a forum so that advances in power systems, drive trains, batteries, and energy storage can be addressed with appropriate NVH technology as needed.

Business Management / Development Process / Historical Perspectives

2025-05-12
The purpose of this session to engage in dialogue on the challenges that face vehicle NVH development, and the development process used to achieve NVH goals and includes topics such as benchmarking, target setting, target cascading, the role and timing of simulation methods and test methods and cross functional coordination and optimization. Papers in this session will also explore the relevance and timing of component, subsystem and full system analysis and testing.

Subjective Response

2025-05-12
This Subjective Response session seeks manuscripts concerning subjective testing and analysis related to vehicle/equipment noise and vibration, usually referred to as sound quality and vibration quality. The focus is on both subjective and objective tools and methods that can be used either to design sound or vibration quality into the final product, or to characterize and eliminate undesired sounds or vibrations.

Heavy Duty Truck / Off-Highway

2025-05-12
This session covers noise and vibration in heavy duty trucks, buses and all other off-road vehicles. Special attention will be focused on the noise and vibration problems found in these vehicles, as opposed to passenger cars and light trucks, and to the engineering solutions required to solve these problems. Included in the session are discussions of special measurement methods, modeling specifically directed to these vehicles, and NVH materials with special properties to address unique problems.

Vibro Acoustic Analysis

2025-05-12
This session covers the relationships between vibration and noise that can be generated throughout the vehicle. Included in this session are modal vibration studies related to noise, vibration transfer paths throughout the vehicle, and coupling of vibration and acoustical modes. Both experimental and analytical approaches are included in this session.
Event

Sound Source Identification

2025-05-12
The purpose of this session is to raise awareness/provide use cases of solutions, methods and best practices in both test and simulation that can localize, identify and quantify sound and vibration sources.
Event

Noise Path Analysis

2025-05-12
This session is dedicated to test and simulation methods that aid in the understanding, ranking, characterizing of NVH sources and paths in vehicles, aircraft and various consumer products. Also included will be discussions around technical approaches, applications and best practices for working with noise-path-analysis data sets

SEA Design

2025-05-12
This session provides a good overview of recent innovations to SEA modeling techniques. SEA models can be used alone or together with hybrid analytical or experimental techniques to establish good comparative NVH predictions at the earliest stage of the vehicle design process. The papers of this session will describe recent advances and / or validations of SEA theory, applications, or use in conjunction with hybrid techniques for high- and mid-frequency NVH predictions.
