Powertrain Noise Track - I.D.#ACAD02
Vehicle Interior Noise Track - I.D.#ACAD01
This Engineering Academy covers a variety of vehicle noise control
engineering principles and practice. Two specialty track options are
available: Vehicle Interior Noise OR Powertrain Noise. While
the Vehicle Interior Noise track focuses on the understanding and
application of acoustical materials to optimize NVH in the passenger
or operator compartment of a vehicle, the Powertrain Noise track
focuses on NVH issues generated by powertrain noise sources
and the design strategies to minimize them. Noise sources include
engines, transmissions/transfer cases, accessories, exhaust, gears,
axles, joints, and couplings. Considerable attention is given to current
measurement and instrumentation technologies and their effective use.
Practical Component
This Academy includes several equipment demonstrations and
hands-on lab sessions. Specific instrumentation suppliers have been
selected to furnish equipment and assist with the sessions. Through
these activities, you become acquainted with relevant instrumentation,
measurement protocols, and problem solving strategies. Also, an in-
class case problem is utilized throughout the Academy to tie theory
and concepts to practical application. During the Academy, you will
be assigned to a project team and a case problem will be distributed.
Each team prepares a response to the case, which requires newly
concepts to be applied. At the conclusion of the Academy, each team
presents their case response to instructors who provide feedback and
discussion.
Pre-Academy Activity
Prior to the week-long Academy, there are important pre-work
assignments which may include readings and exercises for self study
on noise and vibration introductory concepts, sensors, and decibels.
In addition, a Webex-telephone conference call is scheduled to review
fundamentals and answer questions.
Learning Objectives
By attending this Academy, you will be able to:
Define vehicle acoustics engineering terminology and principles
Articulate powertrain noise terminology and principles
Formulate a systematic approach to problem solving and
measurement
Conduct appropriate performance verification tests
Analyze the contributing vehicle noise sources when devising noise
solutions
Produce valid measurements with noise instrumentation and
accurately interpret results
