Noise analysis of interior structure under powertrain excitation

Abstract

To accurately identify the structural noise problem caused by vibration in the cockpit, an experimental study was conducted on a certain type of SUV under uniform acceleration conditions. Based on the planning of the multi-body system dynamics model, a transfer path model with secondary contributions is constructed, and the load is identified using the single degree of freedom model and multi-frequency bandwidth model under the OPAX method based on this path. The results indicate that the second-order vibration of the powertrain is transmitted to the entire suspension system through the X direction of the right suspension. The second-order vibration of the suspension system is then transmitted to the Z direction of the right rear bolt of the subframe, causing the entire subframe vibration and ultimately reaching the target point. This structural path has the greatest impact on the interior noise of the vehicle. This path research method can more accurately determine the main excitation points that cause interior noise problems on a certain path and better understand the overall energy transfer characteristics along the transmission path.
