This includes road noise as amplified by the tire cavity resonance. This resonance mainly depends on tire geometry, gas temperature inside the tire and vehicle speed and is increasingly audible for larger wheels and heavier vehicles, as they are typical for current electrical SUV designs. Active technologies can be applied to significantly reduce narrow band tire cavity noise with low costs and minimal weight increase. Like ANC systems for ICE powertrains, they make use of the audio system in the vehicle. In this paper, a novel low-cost system for road induced tire cavity noise control (RTNC) is presented that reduces the tire cavity resonance noise inside a car cabin. The approach is cheap in terms of computational effort (likewise ICE order cancellation) as well as additional hardware components. The signal from only one single-axis-accelerometer is used to estimate the frequency of the tire cavity resonance in real time. The sensor position is chosen to achieve a high signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the resonance which leads to a robust frequency estimation but does not require specific high coherence with interior noise components. The interior microphones and speakers of the vehicle are used to control the narrow-band noise at the estimated frequency. The performance of the system is investigated based on the simulation results as well as measurements in a real vehicle. The results match well and demonstrate that the technology is well understood, allowing potential virtual system tuning based on reliable simulation data. The system shows a high global reduction of the cavity noise in the vehicle's interior.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"46 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to vehicles with combustion engines, e-vehicles require larger refrigerant compressors, as in addition to the interior, the battery and the electric motors must be cooled. The compressor causes the acoustic excitation of other refrigeration circuit components and the chassis via pressure pulsations and vibration transmission, as well as emitting airborne sound directly. Sound measurements have been performed in an anechoic chamber to investigate the influence of operating conditions on the acoustics of an electric scroll compressor. This paper investigates the influence of the operating conditions on compressor acoustics and shows that rotation speed is the main factor influencing compressor noise. The sound spectra of fluid, structure and airborne noise are dominated by speed-dependent, tonal components. Additionally the effect of varying pressure, superheat, vapor content and refrigerant filling quantity on the acoustic properties of the scroll compressor have been investigated. The findings provide insights into the physical relationship between operating conditions and acoustic parameters and enable the development of suitable sound reduction measures.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"115 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141352253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the Diesel powertrain is the established mainstream solution, offering long operation times without refueling at any desired power rating. In view of the steps towards Carbon Neutrality by 2050, this segment of the Transportation Sector needs to reduce its CO2 emissions. Currently, the EU and US emissions legislations (EU Stage V / EPA Tier4) do not include a CO2 reduction scheme, but this is expected to change with the next update towards EU Stage VI / EPA Tier5 coming into effect 2030 and after. Applications demanding high power or long operational range still require the use of renewable, liquid fuels or hydrogen. The cost-up of such fuels could be counterbalanced by more efficient engines in combination with a hybridized powertrain. The current paper therefore introduces a serial HEV solution for a large wheel loader application of 12t tipping load, which is an example of a typical use-case from the construction equipment industry. A control strategy was developed to operate at best system efficiency while also optimizing the heat-up of the aftertreatment system for minimizing the emissions below EUVII regulation limits for commercial vehicles. The controls are verified by using an NRTC engine test cycle whereas the electric components are modeled but a real Diesel engine including aftertreatment system is used on the engine dynamometer side.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While structural and acoustic transfer functions are nowadays straightforward to obtain from such models, the comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic behavior of the complete car is more complex to achieve, in particular when it comes to the contribution of each sub-part to the global response. This paper proposes a complete target cascading process, which first assesses which sub-part of the car is the most contributing to the interior noise, then decomposes the total structure-borne acoustic transfer function into several intermediate transfer functions, allowing to better understand the effect of local design changes. This transfer functions decomposition opens the door to cascading full-vehicle objectives, which typically consists of achieving a maximal noise level in the cabin, to component-level objectives. This process is demonstrated on the floor panel of an industrial FE model for which both the structural and acoustic transfer functions have been extensively validated against measurements. Intermediate transfer functions are computed and compared for several alternative designs. The same process is finally applied on reduced models, which consider only the floor panels and acoustic trims. Those reduced models allow much faster design iterations and prove to be reliably predicting trends.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"53 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, Biot parameters and their associated TMM models have been used to simulate the acoustic performance of multi-layered material compositions. However, these simulations are not able to account for real-world complexities such as manufacturing imperfections or inter-layer gluing effects. The assumptions made by simulation models, such as the perfectly diffuse field, are rarely true in actual measurements, let alone in the vehicle, further increasing the uncertainty when comparing measurement versus simulation.There already exists widely accepted methods for obtaining Biot parameters for single-layer materials. Typically, a multi-layer simulation considers each individual layer in isolation rather than its interactions with the rest of the composition after heating, compression, or gluing. The current trend towards sustainability is also adding restrictions to the types of materials that can be used. Target compliance for NVH components includes acoustic parameters and environmental impact, increasing the effort required for component quotation.This paper examines four possible approaches used to satisfy an OEM’s quotation request which range from flat samples to fully built vehicle systems. It successfully examines the suitability of bespoke machine learning algorithms combined with large measurement and simulation databases.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"73 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Europe, targets are set on a fleet level basis: a CO2 baseline has already been established using Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) data collected and analyzed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in 2019/2020. This baseline data has been published as the reference for the required CO2 reductions. More recently, the EU has proposed a Zero Emissions Vehicle definition of 3g CO2/t-km. The Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) designation is expected to be key to a number of market instruments that improve the economics and practicality of hydrogen trucks. This paper assesses the permissible amount of carbon-based fuel in hydrogen fueled vehicles – the Pilot Energy Ratio (PER) – for each regulated subgroup of HDVs in the baseline data set. The analysis indicates that a PER of ~4% is required to address the key long-haul groups (5LH, 9LH and 10LH) and potentially some Regional Distribution vehicles, but that much lower PERs are required for most of the Regional and Urban Delivery vehicles in this group. The assessment then looks at the impact of the actual vehicle configuration and identifies features impacting the PER such as rear axle ratio; for example, an engine may be capable of meeting the Zero Emissions requirement, but rear axle ratios greater than 3 may still cause a specific vehicle configuration to exceed 3g/t-km of CO2. The paper concludes by assessing the existing technology options to meet the ZEV requirements and the current state of these technologies against the required PER target.","PeriodicalId":510086,"journal":{"name":"SAE Technical Paper Series","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
