NVH Laboratory

CSI has a laboratory equipped with a roller bench in a semi- anechoic chamber with a controlled room temperature. The chamber offers the possibility to asees the NVH performance of the vehicle. The control system allows to duplicate different driving condition (accelation, costant speed, coastdown). The bench can handle vehicles with two or four driving wheels having independent reels. Also, it can be used for testing motocycles.

The following tests can be performed

  • Internal and external noise
  • Noise derived from the intake and from the exhaust umore
  • Driving comfort

CSI can also perform modal analysis on vehicles or components and support the client in the development of the NVH performance.

In collaboration with our virtual testing sector, CSI can offer CAE support also in NVH field, simulating the structural behavior of the vehicle on different level, for example BIW, Trimmed Body, Full Vehicle, Subsystems (including batteries).

From the traditional torsional and bending stiffness activities, we can manage modal and dynamic stiffness, as well as studies to assess fatigue strength, on metal sheets and welding points, based on load cycle that can be specified by the client or suggested by CSI based on the developed know-how.

 The CAE service of CSI provides a full support to customers during all the vehicle development phases, from the Concept to the Homogolation/Self-Certification. CSI, known internationally as Euro NCAP laboratory and as a competence hub, with high experienced know-how and skills in the automotive field, offers its experience in the management of turn-key projects with a team of professionals assigned to the project. The BU Conformity Assessment of CSI offers certification, inspection, testing and training services specific for the Automotive Sector. The training courses done by IMQ Group are a reference point in the training and continuing education of professionals and companies technical personeel for years. The cyber security in the automotive field impacts the protection of all the important elements in the vehicle from the treats to the IT safety: a cyber security assessment is required to analyse all the dangers and evaluate risks linked to the exposure to internet of the connected-car.
