A hybrid SEA modeling scheme has been developed and applied to obtain an accurate SEA model for a passenger car. In this study, using the SEA model as a reference, uniqueness of the SEA model will be discussed. The SEA model uniqueness will be measured in terms of how accurately dominant power flows are described in comparison with the reference SEA model. An innovative scheme to quantify the differences of the dominant power flow between the test SEA model and the reference SEA model will be developed. Using the scheme, it will be shown that the test SEA model approaches to the reference SEA model as the energy ratios are being matched. Here, the energy ratios, between input power subsystem and a subsystem responding to an excitation given to the input power subsystem, are measured. They have been used to develop the reference SEA model.

A hybrid SEA modeling scheme has been developed and applied to obtain an accurate SEA model for a passenger car. In this study, the detailed workflow associated with the hybrid SEA modeling scheme will be described. Each step in the workflow will be discussed in terms of the obtained data, the corresponding analysis and results. In those steps, several innovative methods for developing the hybrid SEA model will be presented. Finally, a road noise analysis will be performed using the hybrid SEA model to validate the SEA model for the passenger car. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the model, the analysis results such as the sound pressure level of car interior will be compared with the measurements.
