Method to Evaluate the Acoustic Performance of the Pillar Filler Foam in a Truck Cab
The truck cab is made of many structural members like hinge, A / B / C - pillar, rocker, roof rails, headliner, quarter panels, cross-members at the floor and other body panels. For an acoustic example, the source energy travels easily from one end to another end through pillars. To reduce these acoustic effects, the filler foams were added inside the pillars. The proper usage of filler design and filler material type produces the optimal sound response at the driver head space location. Read more...

Virtual Reality Demo: Human-Centric Product & Process Validation
Safe & Productive Human-Centric Operations by Eric Kam, ESI Group
Break the silos between design, manufacturing, and maintenance. Decrease lead times to meet the start of production, at controlled quality and cost. See how to validate product integration early in a human-centric way. Understand with confidence, that by integrating human interactions thought the product development lifecycle, is the way forward to predict and mitigate risk to assure delivery of Safe, Reliable, and Sustainable machinery.
- Anticipate and optimize human interactions, to protect worker safety and increase productivity while ramping-up production
- Develop human-centric maintenance processes early on to secure, speed up and decrease the cost of maintenance
- Identify Product Integration and Packaging issues through application of Immersive Reviews
