Title:  Internship Modelling NVH

Internship Modelling NVH

The candidate will join Pirelli modelling team to enforce the virtual design of tyres (with specific focus in the NVH area on structure-borne noise & comfort) and to harmonize simulation tools and methodologies with the Pirelli worldwide technical centers.  He/she will be involved in the following activities under guidance of his/her tutor:
•    Application of CAD/CAE methodologies (mainly based on Finite Element simulations) to support product development, in more detail: 
-    Prediction and comprehension of tyre dynamic response in operating conditions, and how different tyre parts do contribute to structure-borne noise & comfort performance
-    Postprocess simulation results and extract synthetic performance indicators
-    Critical analysis of results of both simulations and experimental tests and their correlation
-    Investigation of both stand-alone tyre performance as well as tyre interaction with the vehicle with the final goal of improving structure-borne noise & comfort performances, being aware of the other targets that the same tyre needs to fulfill (handling, rolling resistance …)
-    Generation of NVH tyre models to be submitted to customers and support on customer requests specific of the NVH area
•    Modelling procedures definition/improvement and their validation vs experimental studies.
•    Active collaboration with Universities, other research centers or external suppliers to increase internal know-how and apply innovative approaches with final goal to improve product quality.
•    Contribute to development of sw tools for automation and industrialization of simulations guaranteeing efficient use of HW and SW resources.
•    Team working with other Pirelli departments (testing, materials, processes….)  whenever necessary for project goals
•    Contribute in support and training on modelling topics worldwide modelling departments and also product technologists.
