The Application of SEA in Automobile Dash Sound Transmission Loss Numerical Calculation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the structure-borne sound radiation, statistical energy analysis (SEA) was adopted and an automobile dash was divided into 31 subsystems; the modal density, damping loss factor (DLF) and coupling loss factor (CLF) were acquired, which were the basic parameters of SEA; then dash transmission loss (TL) at the middle and high frequency (MHF) ranging from 100 Hz to 10k Hz was calculated. The most outstanding advantage of SEA was that calculation could be fast done, which was more convenient than FEM (Finite Element Method) and BEM (Boundary Element Method). Finally, a TL experiment was designed to verify the feasibility and reliability of numerical calculation. The 1/3 octave TL curves of the simulation and experiment show a good consistency and the error is engineering permitted, which means SEA simulation possesses high credibility and can guide the engineering research.
