Master Thesis: Model Correlation with NVH Measurements for Complex Driveline Parts

Job description

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. 

Position Description

Having electric machines instead of internal combustion engine (ICE) in heavy trucks changes the requirements of sound quality for the transmission in an electric driveline. Therefore, it is essential to correlate the Finite Element Method (FEM) models with experimental methods to predict the natural frequencies and mode shapes of complex parts. Frequency Response Function (FRF) measurements/experimental modal analyses are required on the structure to extract the modal parameters to validate FEM models.

Description of thesis work

In this master thesis, a FE-model will be used to predict the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the given complex part. This Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) activities also include to find the best impact and response points. Later, FRF measurement/experimental modal analyses will be run for validation and, finally the FE-model will be optimized in order to minimize the error between the predicted and the measured natural frequencies and mode shapes.

Qualifications & Key Attributes

·  Master student/students in Sound and Vibration, Engineering Physics or Applied Mechanics
·  Positive attitude, willing to learn, disciplined, good communication skills, humble, result oriented

Duration

The thesis project will start in January 2025 and continue 20 weeks. The diploma work gives 30 points (ECTS) per student.
