Discover what this course is all about 

Fundamentals

Builds NVH fundamentals: perception of noise/vibration, basics of oscillations, and simplified 1 DOF/2 DOF models up to modal analysis for vehicle structures.

Technology

Introduces analysis tools, methods, and optimization strategies; covers NVH properties of EV components and interactions across tire, brake, suspension, and drivetrain.

Applications

Apply NVH principles to design quiet, comfortable EVs; address trade offs and target conflicts with component/system level improvements.

What you'll explore 

  • Human perception: properties of hearing and vibration sensing
  • Simplified vehicle vibration models: 1‑DOF and 2‑DOF; introduction to modal analysis
  • NVH phenomena, root causes, and influencing factors in key systems
  • Component focus: tire, brake, suspension, and electric drivetrain

  • Analysis tools, optimization strategies, and management of trade‑offs

  • System interactions and their impact on overall NVH performance in EVs

Your key takeaways

  • Understand theory of noise and vibration phenomena and human perception.
  • Use NVH analysis tools and apply optimization strategies effectively.
  • Recognize NVH properties of EV components and their interactions.
  • Model vibration behavior and interpret modal characteristics for design.
  • Balance trade‑offs to achieve quietness and comfort in electric vehicles.

Dr. Timo von Wysocki 

Dr.-Ing. Timo von Wysocki is a researcher in vehicle acoustics and suspension dynamics, focusing on reducing road noise in passenger cars through advanced digital development methods. His work combines metamodeling, artificial intelligence, and suspension kinematics to optimize NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance already in early design phases. He holds a PhD on road noise reduction using digital vehicle development approaches and contributes to research projects on optimizing axle concepts for improved acoustic comfort. His publications demonstrate how small structural changes and neural network-based optimization can significantly reduce interior noise and enhance driving comfort in modern vehicles.
