This book presents seven chapters examining selected noise vibration and harshness (NVH)
topics that are highly relevant for automotive vehicle development. These include applications
following the major trends toward increased passenger comfort vehicle electrification and
lightweight design. The authors of the seven chapters all of which are experts from the
automotive industry and academia present the foremost challenges and potential solutions in
this demanding field. Among others applications for sound optimization in downsized engines
noise optimization in electric powertrains weight reduction options for exhaust systems
porous materials description and the vibro-acoustic analysis of geared systems are discussed.
