Measuring Interior Electric Vehicle Noise Using Octave Analysis

Measuring Interior Electric Vehicle Noise Using Octave Analysis

The interior noise of a vehicle has a significant impact on the customer experience. Any noise outside the norm can raise concerns and discredit the company’s reputation. Engineers have a solid understanding of the noise requirements for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, but electric vehicles (EV) require new standards. As EVs do not have an engine that makes noise, many normal vehicle disturbances are now audible to the passenger.

Drop Shock Testing for Products and Packaging

Drop Shock Testing for Products and Packaging

Many products will experience shock vibration during shipping and handling or in use. These shocks may be infrequent, such as an accidental drop or repetitive, as with transportation over rough road conditions. Vibration test engineers use shock testing to simulate these conditions in the lab and confirm the structural integrity of the device.

Types of Vibration Control

Types of Vibration Control

Vibration Research designs and manufactures leading edge vibration control systems for all brands of electrodynamic and servohydraulic shakers, as well as portable dynamic signal analyzers. Vibration control systems include hardware vibration controllers and the vibration control software, providing a multi-point control of complex structures, all with an intuitive user interface and easy setup.

Tips or guidance to consider before buying and operating a vibration shaker

Tips or guidance to consider before buying and operating a vibration shaker

In order to choose the right shaker, there are a few major specifications to consider such as frequency range and waveform, displacement and velocity, the number of axes to be tested, payloads and vibration/shock levels, and force rating.

SRS - Shock Response Spectrum

SRS - Shock Response Spectrum

The SRS is commonly used to characterize the frequency content of an acceleration time-history record. Shock response spectrum analysis is the maximum response of a series of single degree of freedom systems having the same damping to a given transient signal.
