Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive NVH technology, specifically relating to the sensor location selection method, equipment, and medium during modal testing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing vehicle modal testing processes, the selection of sensor locations often relies on the experience of test engineers, leading to uncertainties in the test results. Furthermore, even experienced test engineers may miss some modalities when faced with entirely new vehicle structures.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the common practice in actual testing is to deploy as many sensors as possible. However, this approach is inefficient and increases testing time and cost. Patent CN111089695A discloses an automated modal testing method, which mentions a method for selecting sensor placement points. This method involves repeatedly tapping the same point to obtain the frequency response function of the selected point on the structure, and then performing singular value decomposition, modal indication function calculation, and modal statistics on the frequency response function matrix to obtain the final sensor position. The drawbacks of this method are: when dealing with entirely new structures, the selected points may not fully represent all modes, resulting in missing test modes. Furthermore, this method requires manual testing, is time-consuming, and is highly dependent on equipment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to study a method that can traverse the complete vehicle NVH structural modes while using a small number of sensors, and has high testing efficiency, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of sensor placement in meeting NVH mode requirements.

[0007] The present invention also discloses a computer-readable storage medium that effectively improves the efficiency of vehicle structural modal testing and fully reflects the vehicle structural modalities, thereby accurately determining the sensor placement positions.

[0008] The sensor position selection method disclosed in this invention during modal testing includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Calculate the sensor placement area modes based on the finite element data model of the vehicle under test, and select a series of points as the pre-selected sensor locations based on the mode shapes of each order;

[0013] Step 5: Determine whether the overall level of the relevance matrix is ​​acceptable. If acceptable, proceed to Step 6; if unacceptable, filter out the relevance values ​​in the relevance matrix that do not meet the requirements, delete the corresponding pre-selected position points to make the relevance values ​​meet the requirements, and return to Step 4.

[0019] Step 21: Calculate the degree of freedom values ​​corresponding to the pre-selected locations of each sensor under each mode shape;

[0020] Step 22: Establish the correlation matrix for each pair of different mode shapes corresponding to the pre-selected location points, as follows:

[0021]

[0022] in, These are the values ​​of the i-th and j-th mode shapes at the s-th sensor pre-selected position point, respectively. The smaller the MAC value, the smaller the angle between the two modes, that is, the smaller the correlation between the mode shapes, and the better the mode can be identified.

[0023] Furthermore, step 2 involves calculating the contribution of the pre-selected location points to pairwise different mode shapes, specifically including the following steps:

[0024] Step 23: Calculate the contribution K of the s-th sensor pre-selected location point to the MAC value between the i-th and j-th modes. ij_s ,as follows:

[0025] K ij_s =MAC ij_in_s -MAC ij_nin_s

[0026] Among them, MAC ij_in_s This represents the MAC value between the i-th and j-th mode shapes obtained from all measurement point data; MAC ij_nin_ns This represents the MAC value between the i-th and j-th mode shapes obtained based on the data from the pre-selected position points of the other sensors excluding the s-th sensor pre-selected position point.

[0031] Further, in step 5, it is determined whether the overall level of the relevance matrix is ​​acceptable. If it is acceptable, proceed to step 6; if it is not acceptable, filter out the relevance values ​​in the relevance matrix that do not meet the requirements, delete the corresponding pre-selected position points so that the relevance values ​​meet the requirements, and return to step 4.

[0032] Furthermore, in step 5, the correlation matrix (MAC) is selected from left to right. 12 MAC 13 , ..., MAC ijIf the first MAC value in the dataset does not meet the requirements, delete the corresponding pre-selected location point so that the correlation value meets the requirements.

[0033] Furthermore, in step 1, a finite metadata model of the vehicle structure to be measured is established using Hypermesh.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sensor position selection method during modal testing disclosed in this invention includes the following parts:

[0041] Step 1: Calculate the modalities of the sensor placement area based on the finite element data model of the vehicle under test, and select a series of points as pre-selected sensor locations based on the mode shapes of each order; specifically,

[0042] Step 11: Establish a finite metadata model of the vehicle structure to be measured based on Hypermesh and calculate the modes of the sensor placement area according to the test requirements. For ease of description, the first six modes of the structure (excluding rigid body modes) are taken here.

[0043] Step 12: View the modal results using Hyperview. Based on the mode shapes exhibited by the first six modes, select a series of points as the pre-selected location points for the sensor. The selected pre-selected location points should fully reflect the characteristics of each mode shape.

[0044] Step 2: Establish the correlation matrix for each pair of different mode shapes corresponding to the pre-selected location points, and calculate the contribution of the pre-selected location points to each pair of different mode shapes; specifically,

[0045] Step 21: Calculate the degree of freedom values ​​corresponding to the pre-selected locations of each sensor under each mode shape.

[0046] Step 22: Establish the correlation matrix between each pair of mode shapes in the first six modes corresponding to the pre-selected location points, as follows:

[0047]

[0048] in, These represent the values ​​of the i-th and j-th modal modes at the s-th pre-selected sensor location, respectively. A smaller MAC value indicates a smaller angle between the two modes, meaning a lower correlation between the modes and a better ability to identify them. The sixth-order modal correlation matrix is ​​shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the correlation MAC values ​​between all i-th and j-th mode shapes are obtained by iterating through them. ij .

[0049] Step 23: Calculate the contribution K of the s-th sensor pre-selected location point to the MAC value between the i-th and j-th modes. ij_s ,as follows:

[0050] K ij_s =MAC ij_in_s -MAC ij_nin_s

[0051] Among them, MAC ij_in_s This represents the MAC value between the i-th and j-th mode shapes obtained from all measurement point data; MAC ij_nin_s This represents the MAC value between the i-th and j-th mode shapes obtained based on the data from the pre-selected position points of the other sensors excluding the s-th sensor pre-selected position point.

[0053] and The matrix consists of the values ​​of the i-th and j-th mode shapes at the pre-selected sensor location points excluding the S-th sensor, respectively.

[0054] If K ij_s If K ≥ 0, then the s-th sensor pre-selected location point is said to have a negative contribution to the MAC value between the i-th and j-th modes; if K ij_s If <0, then the s-th sensor pre-selected location point is said to have a positive contribution to the MAC value between the i-th and j-th modes.

[0055] Step 3: Delete pre-selected location points with negative contribution values; delete those from MAC. 12 MAC 13 To MAC ij Sensor pre-selected location points with a negative contribution value in the common data. (From MAC) 12 MAC 13 To MAC ij The number of negative contribution points are H 12 H 13 To H ij The number of common negative contribution points is H0. After deleting the common negative contribution points, there are a total of H0 points.

[0056] Step 4: Update the correlation matrix of each pair of different mode shapes, and update the contribution value of the remaining pre-selected location points;

[0057] Step 5: Determine if the overall level of the correlation matrix is ​​acceptable. If acceptable, proceed to Step 6; if unacceptable, delete the corresponding pre-selected location points to make the correlation value meet the requirements. The principle for deleting measurement points is: first delete the measurement points with larger K values ​​among the negative contribution points, such as MAC... 12 If the conditions for going are not met, then the MAC address will be changed. 12 The remaining negative contribution points are sorted according to their K values, and the points with larger K values ​​are deleted first. Then return to step 4.

[0058] Step 6: Output the coordinates of the remaining pre-selected locations that meet the requirements, and use them as the positions of the sensors during the vehicle structure modal test. Place the sensors at the pre-selected locations during the modal test.
