A simplified FE-model of the subcomponent of the Charge air cooler – core is modelled using homogenisation technique. Modal testing was performed on the physical model of the same. On comparing the resonance frequencies of the test data (reference result) with FE-model data, the FE-model is reconciled and correlated.
