Structure Borne NVH Workshop
Sponsored by
Structure Borne NVH Workshop
Ballroom D
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Please join us for the 10th Anniversary of the Structure Borne NVH workshop.
Since the beginning, the workshop has stressed the fundamentals of source–path–
receiver principles. A theoretical foundation covers the basics of low-frequency
NVH (to 100 Hz where NVH is felt) and mid-frequency (to 500 Hz were NVH is
heard). The application topic will discuss the causes of NVH variability and corresponding
new methods of simulation to assure robustness.
Organizers and Presenters: Alan E. Duncan, Automotive Analytics Inc.;
Gregory Goetchius, Tesla Motors Inc.; Jianmin Guan, Altair Engineering Inc.
The History and Future of Fourier
Analysis Workshop
Ballroom C
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Frequency analysis is often referred to as Fourier analysis but is that really true?
The foundation is based on stationary and “Fourier signals.” What happens if that
is not the case? Modern FFT signal analyzers use very sparse sampling that is
correct according to Shannon but what will happen when using time domain analysis.
Many of the myths and frequent questions will be answered using a “user
perspective” and rules of thumb will be given together with good methods to avoid
large errors. After attending this session, a much better understanding in regards to
pitfalls and proper methodology will be the outcome.
