Bearing Transmission Failures: How to Avoid Them With Virtual Prototyping

May 14, 2020

Bearings allow complex machinery to rotate by making the rotation possible while reducing friction, and are therefore vital to system efficiency and reliability. Improving bearing design through virtual prototyping is a cost-effective and thorough design approach, which reduces transmission downtime and failures.

Excellence in electric vehicle NVH at Karma Automotive

May 13, 2020

What should an electric sports car engine sound like? There is currently no clear answer to this question, as there is very little history of electric vehicles to draw from. Engine noise is also brand-specific, so even existing electric vehicles will sound different depending on which company produced them.
