ENGTCH X207 - CAR SEM 401: Driveline Systems
This self-paced seminar covers the noise and vibration control methods for vehicle driveline components and systems. Both linear and nonlinear models, along with source-path-receiver network and transfer function approaches, are employed to characterize and simulate the governing torsional systems. Nonlinear effects associated with backlash, multi-staged stiffnesses and dry friction will be illustrated. Practical case studies include transmission rattle, driveline clunk, judder, gear whine, etc. This course is based on the extensive research and development work that has been carried out at Ohio State, and it has been designed to suit the needs of practicing engineers. Students are expected to submit a brief report on the workshop discussion questions.
