Noise, Vibration and Harshness of Vehicles
With the spread of electromobility, the sounds and vibrations generated by vehicles are also changing, posing new challenges for car manufacturers and suppliers. The basics of NVH (noise, vibration, harshness), acoustics, vibration and vehicle comfort will be introduced in cooperation with our industrial partners, Bosch, Rotec and AUDI.
We present the basic measurements in the laboratories with modern instruments and a wide range of equipment and explain the background of the numerical tasks of the topic.
During the completion of the course, it is possible to get involved in the research carried out in the department, to prepare a TDK dissertation, and to do an internship in cooperation with our industrial partners.
According to the curriculum, the subject closes with a practical mark at the end of the semester, which is determined on the basis of participation in measurement exercises and protocols, as well as 2 midterm exams.
Powertrain simulation systems
Within the framework of the subject, students can gain insight into the sizing and tuning of thermodynamic processes in internal combustion engines using simulation tools. In addition, the modeling covers the entire drive chain, and by the end of the semester, a detailed longitudinal vehicle model can be examined in different driving cycles. The design takes place in a GT-Suite environment, which is one of the market-leading vehicle component modeling software widely used in the industry today. To complete the subject, a thermodynamic sizing of a suction motor must be performed, but instead, any other modeling task that may be related to a dissertation, diploma design, or participation in a scientific student conference may be chosen.
Who do we recommend it to?
- Those who are interested in the possibilities of a modern simulation system.
- Those who are interested in internal combustion engines and their tuning capabilities on a scientific basis.
- Those who are interested in advanced powertrain development directions such as hybrid or electric vehicles
