Application of Road Simulator Service Loads in Automotive Component Durability Assessment

چکیده
This paper presents automotive component durability assessment based on road load data acquired using spindle coupled full vehicle road simulator test system. In this study, service loads in terms of response-time history signal was obtained from accredited test track using road load data acquisition. Replication of test track loads to the road simulator was achieved using iterative deconvolution where a portion of Belgian block service load data was selected as desired response signal. Linear estimate of the frequency response function model of the desired response and random simulator actuator signal was obtained using parametric model estimation. This system model is then mathematically inverted and convolved with the desired response time histories to provide simulator drive signal required to produce the response. Durability test in terms of fatigue analysis was later conducted by observing specimen response obtained on the simulator due to the developed drive signal. It is found that the divergences between fatigue life of desired and achieved loads are all within 50%. This study shows that by applying the iterative deconvolution method fatigue sensitive contents of the road load signals can be well produced by the road simulator.

More US teens die from traffic crashes than from any other cause, with speed and rural roads major contributing factors. This study aimed to validate a high-fidelity simulator to explore these risks in an injury-free environment. Twenty-one newly-licensed 16-year-old males completed simulated and on-the-road drives of the same rural roads. Average free speeds on three road segments showed no sy...

Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
