Why enroll

Automotive managers often need to make strategic decisions on NVH issues with an overview of both the structural modal performance and its role highlighted in Transfer Path Analysis of vibrations and structure-borne noise inside the cabin.

This course bridges the gap between engineering details and managerial decision-making, equipping participants with a high-level yet practical understanding of modal analysis.

By the end of the course, attendees will be able to evaluate the impact of structural modifications, interpret CAE and test data effectively, and guide teams toward optimal NVH solutions in vehicle design.

Course details

Objective:

To provide automotive Managers with a clear and strategic understanding of modal analysis, enabling them to make informed decisions for vibration control in ICE and EV vehicles.

Description:

Modal analysis is a fundamental tool for controlling vibrations and refining vehicle NVH performance. This course simplifies key concepts such as eigen analysis, modal decomposition, and the hybrid TEST-CAE approach.It covers advanced techniques like Transfer Path Analysis (TPA), Panel Contribution Analysis (PCA), and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), all crucial for diagnosing and improving structural dynamics.Real-world case studies from premium ICE and EV vehicles will highlight the role of body stiffness in NVH refinement.

Course suitable for

Key topics covered

  • Importance of Modal Analysis in Vibration Control

  • Eigen Analysis; Modal Decomposition in Structural Vibrations

  • International Experimental Set-up; Hybrid TEST & CAE approach

  • Transfer Path Analysis; Panel Contribution analysis

  • Operational Modal Analysis, Running Mode analysis

  • Practical case studies of NVH of premium cars: both ICE and EVs; Role of Body stiffness

Questions and Answers

A: —that's the most common mistake, mixing units before you even touch the square root. Converting 28 kN/mm to 28e6 N/m and keeping modal mass, not curb mass, keeps the eigenvalue in the right decade; the 2π matters because you're moving from rad/s to Hz.

A: —this is where people read the plot and forget to read the legend on the GA. Y is inboard, not vertical, so you're seeing lateral compliance; confusing sensor orientation sends NVH work chasing the wrong reinforcement.

A: —people jump straight to broken hardware, but the physics goes through dynamics first. Damping loss sharpens the resonance, so boom shows up well before stress ranges climb into fatigue territory.

A: —that's where reviews go sideways, adding directions that aren't asked for. Participation is directional, and it's a straight ratio; inventing an average just hides a dominant Z mode.
