The vibration and acoustic behavior are measured simultaneously using frequency response functions (FRFs) in a hemi-anechoic chamber. The panel dimensions are chosen to match the frequency range of the SAE J1637 Oberst bar method. Four LASD coating thicknesses: 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm, representing 25% to 100% of panel thickness, are tested to evaluate their impact on the vibro-acoustic behavior of the steel panels. The results provide practical guidelines for selecting LASD coating thickness for noise and vibration control of thin steel panels.", }
