Description:

Vibration testing procedures relying solely on a Fourier profile can introduce only stationary random vibrations. It is in contrast with the non-stationary and non-Gaussian nature of the Road vehicle vibrations (RVV). The following procedure segments the first four spectral moments of the time–frequency domain of RVV, constructs probability density arrays per frequency bins, and perform simulations according to random segment lengths and -root mean squares, yielding more realistic representations of RVV. The distribution of time- and frequency domain moments and normalized spectral entropies are confronted. The Probability-based spectrogram synthesis (PBSS) offers a data-driven stochastic modelling framework for simulating non-stationary RVV.
