Geometric robustness and dynamic response management by structural topometry optimisation to reduce the risk for squeak and rattle
Historically, squeak and rattle (S&R) sounds have been among the top quality problems and a major contributor to the warranty costs in passenger cars.Geometric variation is among the main causes of S&R.Though, geometric variation analysis and robust design techniques have been passively involved in the open-loop design activities in the predesign-f
