Automotive Engineering & NVH Consultancy

We help automotive OEMs and suppliers meet NVH targets, durability and compliance by refining vibration at the source. Our team blends test and analysis—NVH diagnostics, strain & modal testing, FEA and model updating—to deliver quieter, more reliable systems that meet programme and regulatory requirements.

What we deliver

FEA & model updating

Linear/non-linear FEA, eigenvalue analysis, strain correlation and parameter updating to make models predictive and changes safe.

FEA Model Updating

Reliability & durability

Root-cause investigations, fatigue life improvement, design refinement and test support to reach sign-off with confidence.

Root Cause Investigations

Our approach

  1. Define requirements → targets, environments and constraints.
  2. Measure → instrumented vibration/strain, modal tests, operational data.
  3. Analyse & model → CAD, FEA, sensitivity and optimisation.
  4. Refine → geometry, stiffness/mass, isolation and damping; update models to match test.
  5. Validate → correlation, re-test and documentation for sign-off.

Standards & compliance

We align with OEM specifications and international standards where applicable, including ISO/EN and UNECE regulations for noise and vibration, and workplace/plant standards for component testing. We also integrate customer-specific procedures and reporting templates to streamline approvals.

Looking for a particular standard? We routinely work to client specifications and can adopt additional standards on request.
Regulatory compliance

Engine oil pan NVH optimisation

Reduced panel vibration and tonal orders via stiffness tuning and damping strategy; validated by strain & modal tests.

Electric steering unit NVH

Order analysis and structural refinement to meet interior noise targets without mass penalty.
