摘要
Since numeric simulation can save much costs, it is widely used in autombile design. Besides, noise, vibration and harshness（NVH） performance is one major target for engineer to design a competitive product. In this paper, NVH performance of a lightweight auto-body prototype using alternative materials and gauge thickness were studied by finite element materials and boundary element method （BEM）. In order to fred the most contributing panel to the peak value of response, the panel acoustic contribution analysis （PACA） was performed and the most effective modification area was located. Finally, the sound pressure was reduced by putting damping material on these parts.
