Abstract(E)The driveshafts can be an important contributor to vehicle interior noise including low-frequency (booming) noise where the vibrations, originating in the powerplant, travel to the vehicle body through the driveshafts. A suitable Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the driveshaft performance is the transmissibility, which is an output/input acceleration ratio and can be used to describe the amount of vibration transferred from the inboard to the outboard joint of the driveshaft. This paper introduces a simple physical model of the driveshaft transmissibility able to support the development and evaluation of the driveshaft and to estimate the effectiveness of countermeasures such as a dynamic damper. The model is validated through comparison with on-vehicle measurements. The proposed approach offers ease of use, low computational cost and clear relation of the measured transmissibility with the system’s physical properties. Good accuracy can be obtained for the booming noise range, especially if the driveshaft attachments are suitably represented through an equivalent stiffness that can be easily obtained from test or computer-aided engineering (CAE). The simplifications in the proposed model may limit the practical range of applicability. Nonetheless, for the low frequency problems considered, it can support the component and countermeasure development, reducing the need for prototype evaluations.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
