Working closely with our customers, Roush employs advanced analytical techniques and sophisticated modeling tools to predict noise and vibration behavior and improve product design. With seamless access to in-house testing capabilities to obtain input information and model validation, we blend testing and analysis for excellent analytical/experimental correlation.

Analysis and simulation capabilities and resources include:

Structural

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for linear and nonlinear structural modeling
• Static and dynamic simulation to predict stress, resonance frequencies, mode shapes and forced response

Kinematic/Dynamic

• ADAMS modeling for rigid body and flexible body motion and load analyses

Acoustic

• Boundary Element Analysis (BEA)
• Rayleigh Integral Analysis to predict sound radiated by structures
• Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA)
• Empirical radiated sound models
• Biot modeling of porous and poroelastic materials

Damping

• Roush-developed analyses programs for predicting the effects of adding damping to structures and for use in the design of tuned dampers
• FEA-based modeling of isolation and damping systems, including free layer, constrained layer and damping links
