Vibration transfer path analysis on fender noise control

The fender is one of the major noise radiators in motorcycles. The source of the fender noise comes primarily from the engine vibration through the vehicle frame. A rubber isolator between the engine and frame can effectively break the vibration path, thus reducing the fender noise. A finite element...

Description
Summary:The fender is one of the major noise radiators in motorcycles. The source of the fender noise comes primarily from the engine vibration through the vehicle frame. A rubber isolator between the engine and frame can effectively break the vibration path, thus reducing the fender noise. A finite element method will be used to analyze the vibration transfer paths of an engine and a boundary element method will be used to predict the radiated noise from the rear fender.
