Abstract:

The acoustic-cavity resonance inside the tire-wheel assembly may results in the interior noise of running vehicles. In order to solve this problem, the characters of noise caused by acoustic-cavity resonance are analyzed, and the motion equation of the acoustic cavity system is deduced. Moreover, an improvement technique is proposed to reduce the peak level of the acoustic-cavity natural frequency by modifying the wheel with an elliptical rim. The correctness of the proposed method is finally validated by experiments.

Key words: tire, wheel, noise, resonance, acoustic cavity
