چکیده

At the end of its development cycle, a new truck variant is exposed to vibration tests, both in laboratory conditions by means of a 4-shaker test rig and in real road tests on a proving ground. The idea is to extend the use of these test data by applying Operational Modal Analysis and by being able to correlate the analysis results with Finite Element predictions. Basically, the only feasible way to perform a modal analysis experiment on a complete truck is by using test rig or real road excitation. In both cases the forces introduced in the structure are not available or difficult to measure and, hence, Operational Modal Analysis needs to be applied. To verify the effectiveness of Operational Modal Analysis using test rig data, it was decided to perform time-domain simulations using the complete vehicle model which was subjected to the same excitation as a real truck on the test rig. This paper will compare the directly computed Finite Element modes, the modes found by applying Operational Modal Analysis to the simulated time histories and the modes identified from the real test rig measurements.

Evaluation of Dynamic Characteristics of Marun Embankment Dam Using Ambient Vibration Test and FEM

There is a worldwide interest in the proper design of embankment dams to resist earthquake loadings. For the first time in Iran, a complete ambient vibration survey due to low-level loads such as wind, machinery activities, low level tectonic activities, and water exit from bottom outlet was performed on Marun embankment dam. These kinds of ambient vibration tests are suitable for manifesting t...

A Simplified Modal Pushover Analysis-based Method for Incremental Dynamic Analysis of Regular RC Moment-resisting Frames

Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) procedure is now considered as a robust tool for estimating the seismic sidesway collapse capacity of structures. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires numerous nonlinear response-history analyses. This paper proposes a simplified Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure for IDA of RC moment-resisting frames. The proposed method uses the dynamic...

Modal studies on a truck frame and suspension

This paper presents a comparative study of conventional Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) and output-only Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) techniques for estimating the modal parameters of a moderately damped truck chassis. The OMA, without its need to measure input forces, would serve as a convenient methodology to test vehicle structures when response data alone is available. Data has been ac...
