Abstract
The mutual interaction of the chassis components and with the vehicle body plays a decisive role for the buildup of noise in the high frequency range. The shock absorber itself represents only a part of the total system “Chassis — Body”. An additional special challenge lies in the vehicle dependency of the vibro-acoustic quality of the shock absorber. The systematic NVH analysis integrated in the product development process at ZF Sachs AG and performed with the help of modern experimental and virtual methods allows for efficient product optimization.
