Objectives of the course
Growing awareness of NVH ( Noise Vibration and Harshness)Â has necessitated the valid design of aircrafts machines, automobiles, buildings, industrial facilities and home appliances. With the increasing number of standard regulations and human ride comfort associated with NVH makes it mandatory to control vibration and noise leading to quieter technology in pumps, engines, compressors, chillers and other consumer products. There is a great demand to enhance the ride comfort of bikes, cars, aircrafts and other automobiles. Vehicle Dynamics basics and rowing awareness about noise pollution among the consumer necessitates the OEM companies to stress upon the products without NVH problems.
AI and ML achives structural condition health monitoring of machinery in industries. Analytical, MATLAB and FEM based tools such as ANSYS, COMSOL NASTRON, ABACUS, SYSNOISE and Modal analysis software tools such as LMS, Mescope helps to achieve the goals. This course is for engineers/scientists/entrepreneurs/instructors in the industries/institutes/universities to learn the analytical and experimental skills to tackle the problems related noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) during design and manufacturing stage for technically superior and commercially viable product to achieve âEMPOWER INDIA WITH SKILL AND Knowledgeâ for âAATMANIRBHARA BHARAT ABHIYANâ
