Research methods of car body design optimizing for improving vehicle vibroacoustic performances by Batizi V.M., Likhachev D.S.

“…The need to improve vibration protection systems, to conduct vibroacoustic analysis and develop new methods for optimizing vehicle vibrations as a whole is a modern and urgent task for the automotive industry.In the research work, we investigated vibration and noise problems associated with the integration of the transmission of the vehicle body, as defined methods to improve vibration isolation properties of the vehicle by optimizing vehicle body stiffness characteristics.The practical significance of the work is to identify recommendations for reducing the vibration loads transmitted to the driver, which will make it possible to make optimal technical decisions in the early stages of the development of the vehicle body.Using engineering analysis or combined methodologies, the process for optimizing the vibroacoustic characteristics of the vehicle should be based on a systematic approach and evaluate the appropriate compromise between a high level of safety, weight reduction, ensuring vehicle fuel economy and customer requirements such as controllability and vibroacoustic comfort.In the article, based on the analysis of literary sources, vibroacoustic phenomena associated with various transmission components and subsystems are identified. …”
