This paper combines the principles of quantitative structural dynamics standards with a theoretical modelling analysis, and applies it to the Jaguar XJ40 body structure design. This work has resulted in high levels of vehicle refinement in terms of noise and vibration transmitted to the occupant in the complete car.
