Latest Noise, vibration, and harshness Stories
TROY, Mich., Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair's HyperWorks Partner Alliance (HWPA) today announced a new partner. Michigan Engineering Services (MES) now has made its Energy Finite Element Analysis Solver (EFEA) for noise vibration harshness (NVH) analysis available within the program. EFEA can be used for mid- to high-frequency vibration and acoustic simulations for complex structural-acoustic systems. "We are delighted that EFEA has joined the HyperWorks Partner Alliance,"...
UC research featuring a mathematical model for quick-response, noise-cancellation designed to minimize sudden and unexpected noise caused by road hazards – bumps or potholes for example – will be presented in New York City Aug. 19-22. All noise is not necessarily equal – especially when it comes to sound minimization in automobiles. For instance, automakers have long used sound-absorbing materials (passive control) in the design of cars in order to minimize engine noise and the...
TROY, Mich., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair Engineering, Inc., today announced the availability of an automated multilevel substructuring eigenvalue solver (AMSES) that dramatically cuts the time required to compute eigenvalues for analysis in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) simulations. AMSES has been released as an update to HyperWorks 11.0, Altair's suite of computer-aided engineering software tools, and is part of the RADIOSS finite-element solver. It is an especially...
DETROIT, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodbridge is pleased to announce the development of an industry leading flame retardant foam, for a range of under-hood acoustical and thermal insulating applications, to meet increasingly stringent OEM needs. This new material represents a significant breakthrough in flammability performance for Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) solutions, offering enhanced sound absorption and transmission loss properties, versus competing materials...
TROY, Mich., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global provider of simulation technology and engineering services, today announced the release of NVH Director, the first commercial software tool that makes full-vehicle noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) simulation possible in the most advanced and streamlined form. Altair will demonstrate NVH Director during a live webinar held on Feb. 29 at 9 a.m. EST. To access more information and register for...
DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford reduces wind noise in all-new Ford Escape by using an elliptical acoustic mirror to measure noise This is the first use of this technology to test wind noise in a Ford sport utility vehicle The mirror is like a satellite dish with a microphone placed a short distance from the Escape, traversing it lengthwise to collect sound Acoustic mirrors were a precursor to radar, intended to detect airplanes When Ford engineers sought...
CANTON, Mich., Dec. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Material Sciences Corporation (MSC) is well known throughout the transportation industry for Quiet Steel® - the constrained-layer NVH material that reduces or eliminates the need for conventional damping and sound absorbing materials. Today, as increasingly-stringent CAFE standards continue to present challenges to vehicle designers and manufacturers, MSC announces a significant increase in the application of Quiet Steel for cost...
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the latest version of its NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite software, which provides a comprehensive collection of analysis and signal processing tools for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) testing, machine condition monitoring (MCM) and audio test applications. Engineers can use the suite as stand-alone software or combine it with NI hardware and NI LabVIEW system design software to...
