The final thesis deals with the optimization of the top cover of the new generation BIO 21 oven. Because users want a quiet and peaceful living environment the company decided to reduce the vibrations and noise of the entire oven. We discussed the existing top cover, where we performed an experimental modal analysis and compared the results with the results of numerical modal analysis. The goal of performing the modal analysis was to increase the natural frequencies of the top cover. By performing the numerical modal analysis we optimized the shape of the top cover towards adapting the shape for the components under the top cover and for increasing its stiffness. Finally, we compared the natural frequencies of the existing and optimized top cover of the oven and from the tehnological point of view of the company, made the decision to choose the optimal shape. Due to the higher natural frequencies of the top cover, we avoided operating the oven in the resonant range, by means of which also lower noise of the appliance is expected.
