Multibody Dynamics Cosimulation for Vehicle NVH Response Predictions

Modelling and Co-simulation of hybrid vehicles: A thermal management perspective

“…Very detailed models can be developed if subsystems of different domains and disciplines, each developed in area-specific software, are integrated into a single global model using co-simulation and/or model integration techniques [1,4,8]. Most modern simulation environments support the connection to other environments [4] via one or more methods, thus combining the strengths of the associated environments [9,10].…”

“…Design defects are detected early in the development cycle and as a result, most design revisions take place prior to the commissioning of a physical prototype thus reducing development costs and contributing to more robust products [3,6,7]. As such, a holistic vehicle simulation allows for concurrent development and testing of components and control code thus reducing the development duration [5,[8][9][10].…”

Mechanism Study and Reduction of Minivan Interior Booming Noise during Acceleration

“…People start to turn to the vibration sources and the paths through which vibration energy can penetrate the cavity. But the automobile chassis is a very complex system as it contains a variety of mechanical components and excitations [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and what's more, early in the minivan development process, manufacturers did not pay enough attention on this problem, so the generation mechanism of interior booming noise remains unclear. is is also the reason why various methods have been tried in solving the booming noise problem by minivan manufacturers, but no satisfactory effect is reached.…”

Experimental Evaluation of an RWD Vehicle With Parameter Extraction for Analytical Modeling and Evaluation

“…This research is focused on reducing the computational cost with a lumped parameter model but not too low fidelity that high frequency transient responses are lost. Examples of lumped parameter models include but are not limited to work done in [5,6,44,86,[88][89][90][91][92][93][94]. A large majority of these analytical simulations include key driveline components such as engine, transmission with gear reduction, driveshaft, differential gear reduction and tires.…”

“…The model will also include an estimate for seat track response based on the physics outlined in Chapter 2. Previous studies such as [93] had similar objectives to create a CAE model with seat track prediction. This study will expand on this task to use that seat track response for TWVDV evaluation.…”
