Course detail

Vibration and Noise of Vehicles

FSI-QDZ-A Acad. year: 2020/2021 Summer semester

In the course, the physical fundamentals of the vibrations and noise sources and propagation are presented. The course introduces analytical and numerical methods of vibration and noise description including experimental methods with subsequent application of these methods to selected problems of motor vehicles. Emphasis is placed on understanding the physical nature of vibrations and noise with subsequent measures to reduce negative effects. The issue is applied to selected cases occurring in technical practice, such as vehicles, powertrains or their components.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit conditions are the ability to solve problems independently using software, independent elaboration of assigned tasks without serious deficiencies, fulfillment of tasks during continuous study control and participation in exercises.
Conditions for final examination are orientation in the physical nature of problems, orientation in analytical and numerical problem solving, knowledge with emphasis on understanding the issue, credit and achievement of the prescribed level of points in the final exam.

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with state-of-the-art of noise and vibration and enable the solution of various problems of motor vehicles by computational and experimentational methods.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance is monitored in exercises.
The form of replacement of missed lessons is solved individually with the guarantee person of the subject.
