Acoustic Modal Test and Finite Element Analysis on Vehicle Cavity

Abstract:

A cavity acoustic modal of a medium-sized commercial vehicle was tested and analyzed based on LMS Test.Lab modal analysis system. Acoustic modal characteristics, including modal frequencies and modal shapes of the cavity, were obtained. By comparing the results of acoustic modal frequencies to the structure modal ones, the acoustic-structure coupling at critical frequencies could be avoided and the noise in low frequency range could be reduced. Meanwhile, the simulation of the acoustic modal is analyzed by establishing the finite element model of the cavity, which may be a reference to improve the interior acoustic properties of the cavity.
