Time‐Domain Substructure Transient Vibration Transfer Path Analysis Based on Time‐Varying Frequency Response Functions under Operational Excitations

Abstract

The time-domain substructure inverse matrix method has become a popular method to detect and diagnose problems regarding vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness, especially for those impulse excitations caused by roads. However, owning to its reliance on frequency response functions (FRFs), the approach is effective only for time-invariable linear or weak nonlinear systems. This limitation prevents this method from being applied to a typical vehicle suspension substructure, which shows different nonlinear characteristics under different wheel transient loads. In this study, operational excitation was considered as a key factor and applied to calculate dynamic time-varying FRFs to perform accurate time-domain transient vibration transfer path analysis (TPA). The core idea of this novel method is to divide whole coupled substructural relationships into two parts: one involved time-invariable components; normal FRFs could be obtained through tests directly. The other involved numerical computations of the time-domain operational loads matrix and FRFs matrix in static conditions. This method focused on determining dynamic FRFs affected by operational loads, especially the severe transient ones; these loads are difficult to be considered in other classical TPA approaches, such as operational path analysis with exogenous inputs (OPAX) and operational transfer path analysis (OTPA). Experimental results showed that this new approach could overcome the limitations of the traditional time-domain substructure TPA in terms of its strict requirements within time-invariable systems. This is because in the new method, time-varying FRFs were calculated and used, which could make the FRFs at the system level directly adapt to time-varying systems from time to time. In summary, the modified method extends TPA objects studied in time-invariable systems to time-varying systems and, thus, makes a methodology and application innovation compared to traditional the time-domain substructure TPA.

Research on Cab Vibration Control Based on Parameter Hierarchical Interaction Model

“…Many scholars have studied different design methods [7][8][9][10][11] of structural parameters of cab systems to improve cab vibrations, analysing balance, stability, and safety of cab systems. e most typical methods include the transfer path analysis method [12,13], the fuzzy control method [14][15][16], and modal analysis method [17,18] and so on. Chen et al [19] proposed a two-level TPA model [20][21][22] to determine the causes of the cab's higher vibration level.…”

The synthesis of non-structural carbohydrates under the network security model

“…In the synthesis process of non-structural carbohydrates, the differences of chain length, elongation unit, postmodification and oxidation level ultimately lead to the diversity of non-structural carbohydrates in their structure, and the diversity of their structure also leads to the diversity of their biological activities. Therefore, these compounds are always important ingredients needed by people, and also modern products One of the important sources of development (15).…”
