While companies can solve automotive engine noise problems by using engine mounts to stop vibration and the firewall to stop airborne noise, these solutions are not sustainable if one wishes to maintain quality. Therefore, car manufacturers taking advantage of finite element analysis (FEA) software to better understand noise and vibration. FEA can be used to …
One of the most significant pressures on car manufacturers today is sound quality. There are many factors that engineers must consider when analyzing the sound emitted by a car. Aside from being a marketing tool, there are now government regulations on sound. New developing technologies including hands-free mobile and speech recognition require the clear voice …
Overview The primary function of heavy duty trailer suspensions is to link the trailer to its wheels. This provides a compliant connection which protects the trailer cargo from the shock and vibration inputs developed at the road surface. In addition, the suspension must meet the customers’ expectations for usable life, and do so while being …
Simulation and analysis, or Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), enables engineers and organizations to analyze and explore new packaging processes and methods in a virtual environment, reducing the time and cost requirements associated with physical and experimental testing. For over 40 years, product manufacturers in transportation industries have relied on computer simulations as a means to …
I recently came upon a case study detailing Polestar Racing’s use of Adams. Seeing that I enjoy understanding the technical details behind motorsports, especially Formula 1, I had to read this from beginning to end. I won’t go too much into detail since I don’t want to spoil a good read, but I will mention …
