Noise Transfer Function Refinement of Commercial Vehicle Cab Based on the Vibro-Acoustic Model

Abstract:

The TPA method has gradually developed into a mature approach to solve the internal noise problem of vehicles in recent years. Among the excitation transfer path from excitation to the noise at the target point, the noise transfer function is an important path. The noise transfer function is an inherent property of the commercial vehicle cab like the modes. When noise transfer function is low; the noise caused by the vibration transformed from the suspension is relatively low, which will be great help for the comfort of the cab. A vibro-acoustic model of some commercial vehicle cab has been built in this research, and the low frequency region noise transfer function from the mount points to the driver's ears has been simulated. From the comparison of the numerical result and the relevant test result, the accuracy of the simulation model has been proved. For the sensitive frequencies, the vibro-acoustic modes have larger vibration on some thin plates, which has been proved to be the reason for the peak for the noise transfer function. In order to reduce the noise transfer function, damping materials were applied to the sensitive thin plates, the modification effect proved to be content in the real working condition.
