Finite Element and Experimental Modal Analysis of Car Roof with and without damper

Abstract Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is a common phenomenon when vehicle is in motion, the vibration reduction analysis was carried out, using both Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Analysis. The roof model was created by CATIA-V5, and the F.E analysis was done by Hyper mesh and analysis was done by using solver ABAQUS for Free-Free conditions. The experimental modal analysis was carried out with and without dampers for the roof and the validation of results was carried out. The results of Finite Element and Experimental analysis were agreeing with each other.
