Investigation of the structural dynamics of vehicle doors to optimise the tonal resonance during the door closing process

Objective:

  • Detailed analysis of the structural dynamics of vehicle doors of different vehicles (BMW & competition) using laser Doppler vibrometry
  • Identification of potentials for optimising the structure-induced door closing acoustics
  • Formulation of concrete requirements for the virtual/early project phase

 

Process/working steps:

  • Development and definition of methods for measuring the structural dynamics of vehicle doors using laser Doppler vibrometry

  • Creation of a broad data basis (BMW & competition)

  • Identification of the correlation between sheet metal field vibrations and tonal resonance during the door closing process

  • Statistical analysis and presentation of the results

  • Definition of criteria to fulfil the highest demands in terms of subjectively perceived value

  • Identification and analysis of influencing parameters/optimisation options

  • Continuous comparison and coordination with the simulation (EG-4xx)

  • Formulation of concrete requirements for the virtual or early project phase

 

Resources:

  • Capacities EP-500/EG-4xx + possibly others
  • Capacities sound measurement room/measurement technology (in particular 1D-PSV/integral shaker)
  • Capacities BMW and competition vehicles
  • Test objects (e.g. vehicle doors for modification)
