Research and constructive solutions on the reduction of slosh noise

[摘要] The paper presents a product design making of, over a "delicate issue" in automotive industry as slosh noise phenomena. Even though the current market tendency shows great achievements over this occurrence, in this study, the main idea is to design concepts of slosh noise baffles adapted for serial life existing fuel tanks in the automotive industry. Moreover, starting with internal and external research, going further through reversed engineering and applying own baffle technical solutions from conceptual sketches to 3D design, the paper shows the technical solutions identified as an alternative to a new development of fuel tank. Based on personal and academic experience there were identified several problematics and the possible answers based on functional analysis, in order to avoid blocking points. The idea of developing baffles adapted to already existent fuel tanks leaded to equivalent solutions analyzed from functional point of view. Once this stage is finished, a methodology will be used so as to choose the optimum solution so as to get the functional design.
