ABSTRACT |
This paper aims for generating an equivalent load signal for the durability analysis of a heavy-duty vehicle
using a signal processing technique. Durability analysis is an essential part in the early stages of development. For a reliable
durability assessment, an equivalent load signal representing load events that a real vehicle will experience should be clearly
identified. In addition, due to the limited computational resources, the equivalent load signal must be of much shorter time
duration and should satisfy statistical properties and fatigue damage with respect to the measured load data. The proposed
method consists of data conversion from the original responses, data refinement and representative segment selection based
on damage and statistical properties, and equivalent load generation based on a time-correlated damage editing method and a
representative frequency band components method. By incorporating these steps into one framework, the equivalent load data
could be generated automatically with minimum user interaction. The fatigue lives according to TCDE and RFBC signals
show an average difference of 14.2 % and 43.6 % compared to the test life, respectively. The effectiveness and accuracy of
the proposed techniques are demonstrated by comparing analytic fatigue lives with those of the durability test. |
