Present day engines are required to have more engine power and are also required to meet the strict pollution standards. In an automobile the exhaust muffler plays an integral role in reducing the sound of the automobile, as well as the ride itself. In order to maintain a desired noise and comfortable ride, the modes of a muffler need to be analysed. Here dynamic modal analyses were carried out to determine the mode shapes, stresses and deformations of exhaust muffler using CAE analysis.
