Towards Virtual NVH Performance Assessment of Tires: Prediction of Dynamic Tire/Road Contact and Hub Forces Using a Fully Predictive Efficient Simulation Approach KU Leuven
Since it is reported that environmental noise has negative effects on the public health in the European Union, the European Commission has set a road traffic noise reduction target of 10 dB(A) by 2020. As a result, vehicle manufacturers are continuously working towards refining their car designs to help reduce traffic noise. Tire/road noise is an important contributor to the overall road traffic noise and can be divided into two categories: ...
