WELCOME

In automotive development, the subject of NVH as a unique selling

point is playing a key role as vehicles become increasingly similar

in design. Engineers strive to reduce audible vibrations, i.e. noise,

while at the same time avoiding physically perceivable vibrations. The

application of numerical simulation and testing technologies enables

acoustics to be optimized at an early stage in the product development

process. Today, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) is becoming increa-

singly important as a means of ensuring that vehicle occupants can

enjoy a driving experience without noise and with enhanced comfort.

The international Automotive Acoustics Conference presents the

current state of technology and shows how acoustics and NVH can

contribute towards the production of even more high-quality vehicles.

On 7 and 8 July 2011 at the ETH Zurich, under the patronage of Profes-

sor Paolo Ermanni, the Conference will bring together experts who are

involved in different points of the development chain, either in indus-

trial R&D or at university research institutes. Speakers and participants

come from research institutes or from OEMs, suppliers, development

service providers, software suppliers, materials science and measuring

and testing technology.

We look forward to interesting discussions in Zurich and to your active

participation.

DELEGATES

This ATZlive conference is addressed to experts working in the acoustics

departments of OEMs, suppliers and development service providers

and to experts researching at universities. They are active in different

parts of the process chain: development, design, experimentation,

calculation and simulation, testing and production.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Automotive Acoustics Conference deals in different sessions with

the question of how development engineers can further improve the

NVH behavior of cars and trucks. Growing expectations and demands

by the end customer as well as stricter legislation require cars to

be made even quieter and more comfortable. Innovations in body

acoustics simulation and optimization can be seen in improved engine

encapsulation and optimized exterior noise protection. Transfer path

analyses and holistic approaches result in reduced sound propagation

from the powertrain. Statistical energy analysis or numerical simulati-

on enable interior noise, which is influenced by carpets or wind noise,

to be predicted more efficiently and at an earlier stage.

The experts at the Conference will also discuss the NVH behavior of

materials, components and systems. Research work on polymer foams

or load-bearing composites will be presented. The NVH engineers’ fo-

cus will also be on new electrified vehicles. The NVH of these vehicles

can be assessed more objectively with the aid of neural networks and

artificial intelligence. As electric cars are very quiet, there is a need to

find the correct signals to warn blind people in road traffic.

Simultaneous German/English and English/German interpreting will be

provided on both days of the conference. Please find the German ver-

sion of the program at www.ATZlive.de or order a copy by telephone on

+49 (0)611 / 78 78 – 132.

All participants in the conference will receive one of the E-magazines

ATZ- or MTZ-worldwide for two consecutive months free of charge

and without obligation. When registering, please stipulate which

magazine you would like to read.
