Automotive Tire Noise and Vibrations: Analysis, Measurement and Simulation

Automotive Tire Noise and Vibrations: Analysis, Measurement and Simulation presents the latest generation mechanisms of tire/road noise. The book focuses not only on tire/road noise issues from the tire/road structures, materials and dynamics, but also from a whole vehicle system. The analyses cover finite element modeling, mathematical simulations and experimental tests, including works done to mitigate noise. This book provides a summary of tire noise and vibration research, with a focus on new simulation and measurement techniques.

Covers new measurements techniques and simulation strategies that are critical in accurately assessing tire noise and vibrationProvides recent simulation progress and findings of CAE on analysis of generation mechanisms of the tire/road noiseFeatures a Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) and model of a multilayer trim to enhance the sound absorption of tire/road noise
