Under vehicle lightweighting constraints, acoustic black hole (ABH) structures offer novel vibration and noise control through bending wave manipulation. This study investigates non-ideal ABH plates with truncations, analyzing their energy-trapping efficacy and damping performance. A hybrid FE-SEA model evaluates ABH-embedded electric vehicles, revealing critical insights: Through-hole truncations concentrate energy at tips (increasing fracture risk), while smaller circular-platform radii significantly enhance energy trapping and damping. For noise reduction, peak effectiveness occurs at 300–800 Hz, achieving 3.7 dB attenuation at 500 Hz (front) and 2.8 dB at 700 Hz (rear) with 4 ABHs. Increasing ABH count improves suppression by ≤3 dB. This work establishes a predictive framework for optimizing ABH-enhanced NVH performance in electric vehicles.

In response to the inefficiency, slow speed, and reliance on specialized software in traditional methods for evaluating seismic stability of loess highway slopes, a simplified rapid assessment method is proposed. Based on post-earthquake landslide investigations, geotechnical surveys, and vibration table model tests, and integrates the latest research on seismic damage mechanisms of loess slopes, the potential sliding surface of seismic damage loess slope is divided into three segments: tensile fracture, shear, and anti-sliding zones, the potential sliding mass is partitioned into three blocks, and calculate the sliding force and anti-slip force of each potential sliding block from top to bottom, when the sliding force the upper sliding body is greater than its anti-sliding force, the excess sliding force is transmitted to the lower potential sliding body, and the stability of the slope is determined based on the ratio of the anti-sliding force and the sliding force of the lowest

The effective measurement and verification of dimensional stability indicators for large size and highly stable structures in service environments is the key to the development of high-precision spacecraft technology. Spatial carrier speckle interferometry technology has been widely used for high-precision measurements in recent years due to its advantages of fast speed, high accuracy, and simple operation. However, the existing technical research only focuses on the measurement under normal temperature and pressure environments, and there is little research on the application under complex operating conditions in space. There is currently no relevant research on the impact of system ambient vibration and noise on measurement stability disturbances. In response to the above issues, a high-precision deformation measurement system suitable for complex environments of high and low temperatures in a vacuum was designed based on spatial carrier measurement technology. A system measurement

According to a problem of the vibration and noise suppression of an engineering vehicle cab, a dynamical model of the engine-frame-cab system was established to describe the vibration transmission path. The method of calculation of the vibratory power flow, which is transmitted from the vibration source engine to the cab through the frame and isolators, was deduced. And then an optimization strategy for the frame structure and the corresponding analysis algorithm process were proposed based on the objective function of power flow. The method proposed was validated through an application to a practical example, which would have practical value in the field of vehicle vibration reductions and optimization design of frame structures.

The half-through arch bridge, known for its efficient structural design and seamless integration with the surrounding environment, is widely utilized in urban transportation infrastructure. However, during operation, the hangers of the through and half-through arch bridge are exposed to various factors, including environmental conditions and cyclic traffic loads, which often cause the hanger of these bridges to rust and fracture, will lead to structural damage or even the collapse of the entire bridge. Therefore, investigating the dynamic performance of half-through arch bridges, both before and after hanger damage, under vehicle-bridge coupling is of paramount importance for understanding the overall performance of the bridge. In this study, a half-through arch bridge was selected as the subject of investigation. A three-dimensional finite element model of the bridge was developed based on real-world engineering projects, and a numerical simulation of the vehicle-bridge coupling

The presence of time-varying loads on shell structures can result in the generation of undesirable noise in the time domain. This paper presents a time-domain noise control method based on piezoelectric smart shell structures. Firstly, a coupled time-domain finite element/boundary element method (TDFEM/BEM) is used to calculate the sound pressure radiated from shell structures subjected to arbitrary time-varying loads. Then a classical time-domain CGVF algorithm is used to control the vibration and to suppress the sound radiation from structures. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate a 44.2% reduction in the displacement response, a 35.8% decrease in acceleration response, a 36.2% decline in sound pressure of the central node, and a 28.5% decrease in average surface sound pressure. The results show that after CGVF control, the vibration and radiation noise of the plate/shell structure under time domain load are effectively reduced, which is of great significance in engineering

This study presents three methods for obtaining the latency of an indirect injection Electro-Injector as a function of the applied voltage. This parameter is relevant for the linearization of the injected mass in order to model fuel mass delivery on modern ECUs. For this purpose, the authors built a test bench, with the intent of running analysis on the results of tests of mass differential between injections, circulating current, and mechanical vibration. The authors gathered data over the iterative experiments and correlated the mass differential, vibration data and current measurements. The authors observed that with a reduction of supply voltage at the injector’s pins, a greater injector dead time made itself present displaying a need for a compensation of opening time in function of voltage since the injector’s needle takes a longer amount of time in partially open positions. Modern ECU manufacturers broadly use the data obtained by this type of iterative experiment to accurately

Rotor balancing is essential for minimizing vibration and noise in industrial and automotive applications. With increasing consumer demand for quieter vehicle interiors, automotive components are now subject to stricter noise and vibration standards. This study investigates the noise generated by fuel supply modules, which play a critical role in delivering pressurized fuel to engines while maintaining low noise levels. An overview of rotor balancing standards is presented, followed by an analysis of how varying degrees of unbalance influence the vibration and noise characteristics of fuel supply modules. To achieve this, rotors were assembled on electric pump samples with defined upper and lower limits of unbalance and conducted tests at the Robert Bosch Ltda laboratory. Utilizing frequency domain analysis, we examined the vibration and noise signals to identify fundamental and harmonic frequencies, thereby assessing the impact of unbalance on overall performance. Measurements were

An engine is a complex system with numerous moving parts and multiple types of interfering excitations. Due to strong noise interference, signal processing is often compromised, making it challenging to identify the engine’s characteristic signals. To minimize the impact of engine noise on characteristic information, this study proposes an engine noise suppression method based on angle-domain signals. This method employs equal-angle sampling, synchronous averaging, and wavelet packet decomposition to process the engine’s vibration signal. Additionally, the correlation coefficient method is applied to evaluate the correlation level of the sub-order segment signal and parent-order segment signal to determine the optimal noise suppression output signal. The efficacy of this method is validated using engine simulation signals. The test results show superior noise suppression performance compared to traditional approaches when using angle-domain signal processing. The influencing factors of

To delay the formation and development of local periodic fluctuations on the surface of rail structures and improve the durability of rail facilities, the dynamic response and wheel-rail interaction of rail structures were studied in depth based on frequency-modulated rail dampers (TRDs). A fully-coupled 3-D FE framework of the wheel–rail assembly, integrating frequency-modulated rail dampers (TRDs), was developed to quantify vibration energy dissipation. Simulated decay curves revealed a marked rise (> 50 %) in lateral damping efficiency within 600–1 000 Hz, confirming TRD’s targeted suppression of rail transverse motion. Then, the suppression effect of rail corrugation after TRD installation was tested, and the data collection was carried out in the test section to calculate the frequency of rail corrugation. It was found that the possibility of corrugation deterioration of the rail structure was greatly reduced after the installation of the rail damper, and the suppression effect of

Addressing the vibration issues during the operation of high-speed tracked vehicles, a dynamic tension control method based on an electro-hydraulic servo system is investigated, along with a comparative study of two tension control strategies. Based on the force analysis of the idler wheel and curved arm, a theoretical model for tension near the idler wheel is established. The accuracy of this theoretical numerical model is verified by comparing it with the results of multibody system dynamics simulations conducted in RecurDyn. A co-simulation platform for electro-hydraulic servo control is built using the software interfaces of RecurDyn, Simulink, and AMESim to tune the PID control parameters and achieve dynamic tension control of the track. Simulation results indicate that the root mean square value of the track plate displacement is reduced by 18% when using the PID control strategy, and by 33.3% when employing the fuzzy PID control strategy. Furthermore, the track tension

With the continuous development of avionics systems towards greater integration and modularization, traditional aircraft buses such as ARINC 429 and MIL-STD-1553B are increasingly facing challenges in meeting the demanding requirements of next-generation avionics systems. These traditional buses struggle to provide sufficient bandwidth efficiency, real-time performance, and scalability for modern avionics applications. In response to these limitations, AFDX (Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet), a deterministic network architecture based on the ARINC 664 standard, has emerged as a critical solution for enabling high-speed data communication in avionics systems. The AFDX architecture offers several advantages, including a dual-redundant network topology, a Virtual Link (VL) isolation mechanism, and well-defined bandwidth allocation strategies, all of which contribute to its robustness and reliability. However, with the increasing complexity of onboard networks and multi-tasking

With the rising demand for high performance and reliability in engineering machinery, the vibration isolation performance and robustness of the powertrain mounting system (PMS) have become critical to overall machine performance. However, during service, rubber mounts are prone to environmental influences, causing significant stiffness deviations that render traditional optimization and analysis methods inadequate. To address this, this article proposes an uncertainty optimization strategy combining Monte Carlo and genetic algorithm (MC-GA), applied to design optimization accounting for stiffness uncertainty due to mount aging, to enhance vibration isolation robustness under large-scale stiffness fluctuations. The study first establishes a Monte Carlo analysis framework based on the statistical characteristics of retired mount stiffness and a dynamic model, systematically evaluating the impact of varying stiffness deviations on vibration characteristics under the original PMS

Anticipated NOX emission standards will require that selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems sustain exhaust temperatures of 200°C or higher for effective conversion performance. Maintaining these temperatures becomes challenging during low-load conditions such as idling, deceleration, and coasting, which lower exhaust heat and must be addressed in both regulatory test cycles and day-to-day operation. Cylinder deactivation (CDA) has proven effective in elevating exhaust temperatures while also reducing fuel consumption. This study investigates a flexible 6-cylinder CDA system capable of operating across any combination of fixed firing modes and dynamic skip-firing patterns, where cylinders transition between activation states nearly cycle-by-cycle. This operational flexibility extends the CDA usable range beyond prior implementations. Data was primarily collected from a test cell engine equipped with the dynamic CDA system, while a matching engine in a 2018 long-haul sleeper cab

The new Stage 5 emission regulation requires several changes on engines as well as design and development of new auxiliary systems. These changes affected the engine dynamics and NVH characteristics. These changes are validated for various operating conditions on engine test cell in a controlled environment where engine is mounted on test cell with dyno. Further, this engine will be used by other machine forms, hence NVH performance needs to be evaluated for all the applications. Isolation of three-cylinder engines is challenging since it has to deal with inherent imbalance forces while providing the isolation to meet the durability requirements of heavy applications from off highway machines. This paper covers the methods used for verification of engine isolation performance. NVH tests are conducted for integration of three-cylinder engine with roadbuilding machine. An analytical model is developed to identify rigid body modes and mount transmissibility. Results from this analytical

The smart industrial revolution in any organization brings faster product delivery to the market, which can meet customer expectations and full life requirements without failure. Failure per machine (FPM) is a very critical metric for any organization considering warranty cost and customer perception. One such area which needs a detailed evaluation is bolted joints. Bolts play a pivotal role when integrating a subassembly with the main structure. Often, it is challenging to address bolt failure issues due to vibration induced in structures. Current bolt virtual evaluation methods help to evaluate bolts in simple loading conditions such as axial and bending loads. But it is quite complicated to evaluate the bolts which are prone to vibration loading. Traditional methods of using gravity loads miss out on dynamic characteristics, hence it must be simulated using modal dynamic analysis. With the current vADV (virtual accelerated design verification) method it is not possible to capture

This paper provides insight into the theory and the applications of the order dispersion by crankpin arrangement, especially focusing on the enhancements of the structural reliability of the crankshaft and the sound quality of the outboard motor. In previous research, we developed the crankshaft which can balance by itself for V8 outboard motor with V bank angle of 60 degrees. We specifically showed the theoretical basis of the balancing and the measurement results of actual vibration levels on boat. Meanwhile, note that the crankshaft has a distinctive structure of crankpin offset angle of 60 degrees, so that combustion interval becomes unequal. As to the combustion, however, we just mentioned the effects on the engine output, not the practicality. In this paper, we firstly clarify the following dual benefits of the combustion in terms of the structural reliability and the sound quality. One is that the order dispersion resulting from unequal interval combustion can reduce the

Noise generated by a vehicle’s HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system can significantly affect passenger comfort and the overall driving experience. One of the main causes of this noise is resonance, which happens when the operating speed of rotating parts, such as fans or compressors, matches the natural frequency of the ducts or housing. This leads to unwanted noise inside the cabin. A Campbell diagram provides a systematic approach to identifying and analyzing resonance issues. By plotting natural frequencies of system components against their operating speeds, Test engineers can determine the specific points where resonance occurs. Once these points are known, design changes can be made to avoid them—for example, adjusting the blower speed, modifying duct stiffness, or adding damping materials such as foam. In our study, resonance was observed in the HVAC duct at a specific blower speed on the Campbell diagram. To address this, we opted to optimize the duct design

This work goals at designing and developing a vibration sensor based on fiber optics and it is a component of the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. The main component of the SHM system is a network of sensors (strain, vibration, acoustic, etc.) that can track the physical condition of the structures in real time and assist in identifying the beginning of any damage. During flight, launch vehicles typically experience extreme dynamic stresses such shock, random vibration, aerodynamic, and thermal. The assessment of health and the detection of any part detachment or loosening of sub- assemblies are greatly aided by vibration monitoring. Compared to traditional electrical sensors (such piezoelectric or capacitive), SHM systems based on fiber optic sensors show promise because of their EMI resistance, ease of integration into structures, and widespread sensing capabilities. Multiplexing capability of optical fibers is the main additional benefit for system monitoring the numerous

Ground vehicles in operation produce a unique vibration signature. This signature is a key indicator of vehicle system, sub-system, and component health but is often not visible to the naked eye or detectable without specialized equipment. Vibration analysis tools can capture these signatures and unlock their value by establishing a signature baseline and detecting changes to that baseline. Changes are strong and consistent indicators of incipient failure and failure progression, and therefore useful as diagnostic reports and prognostic markers. Existing vibration analysis tools and techniques make these signatures quantifiable, but these tools require on-equipment sensors and lengthy data collection processes. Motion Amplification (MA), however is a powerful new vibration analysis technology that overcomes sensor limitations and speeds data collection and analysis by replacing sensor-based vibration analysis tools with video recordings. The recordings use each individual picture

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) enhances Ethernet with features such as time synchronization, scheduled traffic, policing, and redundancy to enable highly deterministic and reliable communications in mission-critical systems. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to the configuration, analysis, and verification of TSN for critical systems, with a focus on time-sensitive applications such as tank barrel stabilization. The impact of different types of topologies, traffic types, and application requirements on the configuration complexity are presented along with various mathematical techniques to generate network solutions and verify against the system requirements. Detailed modeling, configuration, and analysis of TSN is demonstrated using a representative mixed criticality converged network. Lastly, configuration techniques to minimize the latency, jitter, and frame loss while maximizing the network utilization are presented.

Brake caliper rattle noise is difficult to simulate due to its non-stationary, random, and broadband frequency characteristics. Many CAE engineers have adopted rattle vibration as an alternative metric to quantitative noise levels. Previous rattle noise simulations primarily presented relative displacement results derived from normal mode analysis or vibration dB levels rather than actual noise dB levels. However, rattle noise consists of continuous impact noise, which must account for reflections, diffractions, and refractions caused by transient nonlinear contacts and localized vibrations—especially during extremely short contact events. To accurately simulate impact noise, vibration and acoustic characteristics should be analyzed using a simplified structure, given the numerous mechanisms influencing impact noise generation. The rattle noise can be effectively modeled using LS-Dyna, which incorporates both explicit and BEM solvers. The correlation between test results and CAE

In this article, the authors present the various choices made to design a magnet free and directly recyclable pure synchro-reluctant (Pure-SynRel) machine with asymmetrical poles operating at a maximum speed of ~21,000 rpm dedicated to automotive. This project focused on identifying design levers and optimizing the magnetic circuit to address three well-known challenges of this topology that limit its application as an automotive traction machine. These challenges include: maximizing the power factor to reduce inverter rating and cost, minimizing sources of NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) and torque ripples, and ultimately maximizing efficiency to bridge the performance gap with magnet-based technologies (PMaSynRel). The sizing of stator components—such as the choice of winding (concentric or distributed, full or fractional pitch, round or hairpin wire)—and rotor components (e.g., the number of pole pairs, shape, and number of barriers) are explained. Additionally, the

The diversity of excitation sources and operating modes in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) exacerbates the torsional vibration issues, presenting significant challenges to the vehicle’s overall noise, vibration, and harshness performance. To address the complex torsional vibration challenges of the HEVs, this study proposed an active–passive collaborative vibration suppression approach. In terms of passive suppression, a multi-condition parameter optimization scheme for the torsional vibration dampers is designed. In terms of active suppression, a fuzzy control–based electronically controlled damper is proposed, and a hybrid feedforward–feedback motor torque compensation strategy is developed. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method reduces the root mean square value of the angular acceleration by over 65% under acceleration and idle conditions and the maximum transient vibration value by 55% during the engine starting condition.

The differential steering-by-wire (DSBW) system eliminates the need for steering gear, i.e., rack and pinion, while preserving a trapezoidal steering structure with knuckles. This design offers significant advantages for vehicles equipped with in-wheel motors, primarily due to reduced vehicle weight and the maintenance of front wheel alignment parameters. However, the noise force acting on one steering wheel will directly transmit to the other in this differential steering mechanism due to a lack of mechanical connection to the vehicle body through the steering gear, which increases the risk of steering wheel shimmy (SWS). This article qualitatively analyzes the shimmy characteristics of the steering wheel based on a three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) DSBW shimmy model established using Lagrange’s equation and the Hopf bifurcation theorem. The results indicate the vehicle range that this steering system will shimmy, and the maximum steady amplitude is [4.80 m/s, 31.57 m/s] and 0.1516 rad

This paper presents an optimisation approach for rotor skewing in a Yokeless and Segmented Armature (YASA) design Axial Flux Machine (AFM) for electric vehicle applications. Torque ripple amplitudes are a critical factor influencing the noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) behaviour of electric motors. The focus of this paper is to reduce the torque ripple amplitudes of the dominant harmonics over the entire torque-speed characteristic of the AFM. The principle of the proposed approach is a segmented permanent magnet configuration of the AFM, where individual magnet segments can be circumferentially shifted to achieve optimal skewing configurations. Initial optimisations are performed using 2D finite element (FE) simulations, modelled as linear motors with multiple slices and different numbers of magnet segmentation. However, the accuracy of the 2D FE results is limited due to the lack of interaction between the individual segments and the insufficient representation of three

Vibration control is most important in automotive applications, and generally, rubbers are used to dampen these vibrations due to their inherent nature and low-cost manufacturing methods. Now, to select a rubber material, Shore hardness is considered in engineering applications, but to additionally control the behaviour, we need to understand its static and dynamic stiffness. These values help to determine the vibration isolation obtained by these rubbers. In this paper, we will discuss methods to calculate the static and dynamic stiffness of rubber grommets using experimental methods and FEA modelling. As elastomers have non-linear material properties, various material modelling techniques in FEA are used to capture multiple phenomena like creep, fatigue, and dynamic conditions. Rubber compounding is used in order to improve the physical and chemical properties, which in turn would give desirable linear characteristics. Certain guidelines and thumb rules are used in the rubber

The chassis bushing is one of the key components affecting the vibration isolation efficiency of a vehicle, and a comprehensive optimization method combining the experimental process and transmission path analysis (TPA) is proposed to reduce the low- and medium-frequency road noise response in the passenger compartment of a battery electric vehicle (BEV). First, the noise signals were obtained in the vehicle road noise test under two working conditions of 40 and 60 km/h at uniform speeds on rough road surfaces. Then, the excitation transmission path was analyzed based on the structural noise transmission model, and the chassis bushing parts with more considerable vibration isolation contribution were screened out. By matching the stiffness values of the chassis bushings in the optimization problem through experimental methods, the optimization scheme reduces the stiffness of the front swing arm bushing and the rear longitudinal arm bushing by 30%. Additionally, a flexible connection is
