Numerical and experimental tools for NVH characterization of a steering-column

This document resumes the Master Thesis work: the creation of a suitable and accurate finite element model of a steering-wheel for NVH studies and the further preliminary evaluations for the experimental tests of both steering-wheel and steering-column. A punctual description of each phase is reported, including the results of numerical modal analysis run by two different softwares of the steering-wheel models. The final steps, regarding the future experimental tests, useful for correlating the FE models to the real object, include the bench building and setting up.
