The advent of quieter Electric Vehicles has prompted a new focus on reducing transmitted road noise and vibration. To help EV developers gain insight into the full spectrum of damper noise, MTS is engineering a next-generation Damper NVH testing solution capable of characterizing even the most elusive phenomena.
Byron Saari - Principal R&D Engineer examines the drivers behind the automotive industry's need to better understand damper emitted and transmitted noise phenomena; he then explores the attributes of MTS' next-generation Damper NVH System, an elegant fusion of MTS elastomer and damper testing technologies capable of performing NVH measurements with fidelity and accuracy up to 700 Hz - critical for studying hard-to-characterize, structure-borne "chuckle."
