How can a structural adhesive contribute to NVH performance? Structural adhesives deliver strong performance in terms of strength, stiffness, energy absorption and overall structural integrity. However, their primary design focus has not been on actively reducing or damping vibrations. The new TEROSON EP 52 Series high damping structural adhesive brings together two functions that have traditionally been treated separately in vehicle development: structural strength and vibration damping. The epoxy-based high damping structural adhesive combines medium structural strength with significantly improved damping performance compared to conventional structural adhesives. The material can be processed within body-in-white manufacturing, provide structural bonding and simultaneously help reduce vibrations at the interfaces where sheets and structural components are joined. 👉 Take a look at the latest #AutomotiveManufacturingSolutions article to learn more.

As EVs become quieter, vibration control is becoming a much bigger engineering challenge. Traditional approaches often rely on adding extra damping materials alongside structural bonding solutions - increasing complexity, weight and material usage in the process. Henkel’s latest high damping structural adhesive takes a different approach: combining structural strength and vibration damping into a single material solution. In this new feature we explore: - Why NVH challenges are changing in battery-electric vehicles - The trade-off between stiffness and vibration damping in conventional materials - How multifunctional adhesives could reduce weight and simplify vehicle architectures - Why production compatibility remains critical for OEM adoption - The growing focus on smarter, integrated material solutions in EV manufacturing Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dthr69x8 #AutomotiveManufacturing #EVs #BatteryElectricVehicles #AutomotiveEngineering #NVH #Lightweighting #Adhesives #VehicleDevelopment

For decades, the automotive industry held on to one belief: heavier means safer. It's intuitive. But it's no longer true. Modern automotive lightweighting, powered by advanced materials like Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), intelligent structural design, and virtual validation, is rewriting the rules of crash safety. Here's what the data tells us: ✅ Carbon fibre can absorb 68% more energy than standard designs while reducing peak crush force by 70% (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) ✅ Advanced EV battery enclosures in CFRP achieve up to 56% weight reduction with superior protection ✅ Strategic use of aluminium in SUV structures can reduce injuries by up to 26% ✅ A 150 kg weight reduction translates to a 7.1% gain in fuel/energy efficiency The false choice between lightweighting and safety has been broken. When one engineers vehicles using material intelligence, topology optimisation, and integrated design, lighter vehicles can outperform heavier conventional vehicles across all safety metrics. 🔗 Read the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/gPzWxnxj #ev #automotive #innovation #technology #hindujatech #battery

Old Principles, New Machines — Engineering Continuity in the EV Era NVH: What Happens When Combustion Noise Disappears....... One of the most underestimated engineering challenges in EVs is not power, range, or charging. It is silence. In internal combustion vehicles, the engine itself generates significant background noise: Combustion events, valvetrain motion, intake pulsations, exhaust flow. That acoustic “masking” naturally hides many smaller noises elsewhere in the drivetrain. When the combustion engine disappears, those sounds do not disappear with it. They become far more noticeable. Suddenly, components that were once acoustically insignificant move to centre stage: • Gear mesh whine from the reduction gearbox • Bearing noise at very high motor speeds • Electromagnetic tonal noise from the motor • Inverter switching frequencies and harmonics This fundamentally changes NVH engineering. In EVs: A few microns of gear geometry variation, a small bearing defect, or a control strategy change can become clearly audible to the customer. And because the cabin is quieter, customer tolerance is lower. The result is an important shift: What was once acceptable becomes objectionable. Which is why EVs often demand: • Tighter manufacturing tolerances • More precise gear microgeometry • Better isolation and damping • Close coordination between mechanical and control teams Key Engineering Insight When combustion noise disappears, engineering imperfections become easier to hear. Silence does not simplify NVH—it makes precision more important. #AutomotiveEngineering #EVTechnology #NVH #ElectricVehicles #GearboxDesign #ElectricMotors #MechanicalEngineering #PowertrainEngineering #MobilityInnovation #EngineeringInsights
