NVH(Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics are critical indicators for evaluating automotive quality and diagnosing mechanical issues through abnormal vibrations during driving. Among various components, tires are the only part of the automotive in direct contact with the road, making them a major source of noise and vibration. Tire-related anomalies not only affect ride comfort but can also pose serious safety hazards. This study presents a diagnostic approach that utilizes NVH analysis, wheel balance inspection, and RFV(Radial Force Variation) measurement to identify and repair tire faults. Through case analysis, it was confirmed that abnormal vibrations caused by internal moisture accumulation and structural deformation of tires could be accurately diagnosed and addressed. The proposed method enables early detection of tire-related issues, providing a preventive maintenance strategy and contributing to enhanced automotive safety and reliability.

PURPOSES : The tire-pavement interaction noise (TPIN) comprises four sources, among which the tire tread vibration noise (TTVN) and air pumping noise (APN) are known to be the most influential. However, when evaluating TPIN, the noise level is estimated based on the overall noise, because general noise measurement methods cannot separate TTVN and APN. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method to separate TTVN and APN in TPIN for quantitative assessment of pavement noise. METHODS : Based on the results of our literature review and frequency band noise data measured in our study, we identified the dominant frequency ranges for TTVN and APN. Additionally, we evaluated TTVN and APN across various pavement types. RESULTS : TTVN was found to be dominant in frequency bands below 800 Hz, while APN was dominant in frequency bands above 800 Hz. Additionally, regardless of the vehicle type, vehicle speed, or pavement type, APN exhibited higher levels compared to TTVN. This result shows that APN has a more significant impact on TPIN than TTVN. CONCLUSIONS : The separation method of TTVN and APN proposed in this study can be utilized to quantitatively assess the relationship between the primary noise sources in TPIN and the characteristics of pavement texture in future research. Furthermore, it is anticipated that characteristics of low TPIN and optimal texture conditions can be proposed to mitigate TPIN, thus contributing to the development of lownoise pavements.

In the case of a rear-wheel drive vehicle, a propeller shaft is installed to transmit the driving force of the engine. At this time, the propeller shaft is divided into 2 or 3 pipes, and the bearing is mounted on the vehicle body. And the end of the propeller shaft is connected to the rear differential and connected to the body through the chassis. Due to this complex structure, the propeller shaft must be highly balanced and the mounting angle must be well maintained. However, depending on the driving conditions of the car, various noise and vibration problems occur due to the aging of the parts and the propeller shaft. Hyundai Motor Company's maintenance center uses 'Noise Observer' to resolve various noise and vibration customer complaints. This paper describes the mechanism of vibration problems caused by unbalance of the propeller shaft and the diagnosis process using a 'Noise Observer'.

It is well-known that the primary role of a vehicle exhaust system is to reduce the exhaust emissions and noise caused by a running vehicle. However, as vehicle exhaust systems are being evaluated and improved in various ways to satisfy consumer needs, technologies for reducing noise and vibration are significantly being developed. The biggest challenge in designing an exhaust system is generating the optimal back pressure and flow velocity for a running vehicle, thereby maximizing the performance, while simultaneously reducing the noise caused by the exhaust emissions. In this study, we designed the junction chamber shapes of various exhaust systems, which are applicable to V6 and above engines, and conducted a CFD analysis of the exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust pipe. In addition, we precisely measured the noise and vibration caused by a vehicle and analyzed the correlation.

In commercial vehicles. the pulsation noise when the power steering operating is the major item to make the complain for users. If this noise have related to vibration characteristics in steering system's parts or assembly, it makes the problem in vehicle quality. Recently, the users demand the high quality in commercial vehicles, and we must identified the relevance between the pulsation noise and the vibration characteristics. After the identification, we can design the power steering system for satisfaction the user’s needs. Finally, the identification of relevance in pulsation noise for analysing the vibration characteristics will be suggested advanced power steering system.

With increasing number construction of high-rise building which has about 40 to 60 floors there have been many kinds of problem which related with usage from vibration. To predict response acceleration, it is important to assess correct natural frequency. However, due to the noise of MEMS sensor, it is difficult to measure dynamic characteristic such as natural frequency when measuring ambient vibration using MEMS sensor within cell phone. Therefore, a comparative analysis on vibration measuring applications was performed after measuring ambient vibration of 2 skyscrappers which have height between 133.5~244.3m that are located in Seoul and Observation tower using I-jishin APP with noise reduction function of MEMS sensor in order to verify the effectiveness of low noise type vibration measurement APP.

Cooling towers have been widely applied to control the indoor temperature in the residential area and the living space. At operating the cooling towers, motor, fan and dropping water produce noise and vibration, which diffuse through the air or the solid object, polluting the environment. The standards can be used at estimating noise and vibration emission by showing remarkable economic or social benefits. The purpose of this study is to show the vibration and noise measurement and influence evaluation between cooling towers and semiconductor equipment.

Recently, the quiet fan development is one of important issues for comfort of railroad car. The purpose of this study is to find the vibration and noise source of the line flow fan for reduction the noise level. For a vibration and noise source identification, experiments with microphone and acceleration were carefully carried out. The noise of line flow fan is caused by various factors, such as turbulent flow noise, blade passing frequence and unbalance. In order to reduce the fan noise, the blade shape, distance and angle of housing guide should be modified.
