The tangential contact stiffness is an important parameter used in non-linear dynamic
analyses of jointed structures since it can strongly affect the prediction of resonance …

Commercial off-the-shelf rubber isolators often come with no additional information other
than the static stiffness in three translational directions. Hydraulic testing machines can be …

The combination of frequency based substructuring (FBS) and blocked force Transfer Path
Analysis (TPA) allows to perform parametric NVH design optimizations. Blocked forces are …

The vibro-acoustic response of complex structures with uncertain properties is a problem of
great concern for modern industries. In recent years, much research has been devoted to the …

The context of this paper is the increasing need for vibro-acoustic simulation across many
sectors. A procedure is derived for decoupling the components of resiliently mounted …

Conventional model updating methods are based on frequency response function (FRF)
and/or modal parameter estimates obtained from freely suspended, or sometimes rigidly …

This paper extends the inverse substructuring (IS) approach into the state-space domain
and presents a novel state-space substructuring (SSS) technique that embeds the dynamics …

In-situ transfer path analysis is a diagnostic method used to analyse the propagation of
noise and vibration through complex built-up structures. Its defining feature is the …

In noise and vibration engineering, a structure's passive dynamic properties are often
quantified by frequency response functions (FRFs). This paper focuses on acquiring FRFs …

A major challenge in automotive NVH engineering is to approach complex structure-borne
sound and vibration problems with sufficient accuracy but reasonable experimental effort …
