dc.description.abstract |
Response reconstruction is used to obtain accurate replication of vehicle structural responses of field recorded measurements in a laboratory environment, a crucial step in the process
of Accelerated Destructive Testing (ADA). Response Reconstruction is cast as an inverse problem
whereby an input signal is inferred to generate the desired outputs of a system. By casting the
problem as an inverse problem we veer away from the familiarity of symmetry in physical systems
since multiple inputs may generate the same output. We differ in our approach from standard
force reconstruction problems in that the optimisation goal is the recreated output of the system.
This alleviates the need for highly accurate inputs. We focus on offline non-causal linear regression
methods to obtain input signals. A new windowing method called AntiDiagonal Averaging (ADA)
is proposed to improve the regression techniques’ performance. ADA introduces overlaps within
the predicted time signal windows and averages them. The newly proposed method is tested on
a numerical quarter car model and shown to accurately reproduce the system’s outputs, which
outperform related Finite Impulse Response (FIR) methods. In the nonlinear configuration of the
numerical quarter car, ADA achieved a recreated output Mean Fit Function Error (MFFE) score of
0.40% compared to the next best performing FIR method, which generated a score of 4.89%. Similar
performance was shown for the linear case. |
