Abstract:

Operational transfer path analysis (OTPA) is an important way to identify the key transfer paths of complex mechanical systems, but the signal crosstalk between structures seriously affects the analysis accuracy of OTPA. In this paper, the traditional truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) method is improved based on the entropy theory, and the operational transfer path analysis model based on the entropy singular value decomposition method (OTPA-ESVD) is constructed. In the proposed model, the singular value entropy is used to evaluate the information of eigenvalues, and then the principle of high-contribution pairing is used to design a more comprehensive singular value selection method, which overcomes the dependence on engineering experience of conventional TSVD. In this paper, an actual electric vehicle test is designed to verify the OTPA-ESVD model by comparing it with the operational transfer path analysis model based on the median singular value decomposition (OTPA-MSVD). The results show that the performance of the OTPA-ESVD model is better than the OTPA-MSVD model under different driving conditions, and the reconstructed target signal of the OTPA-ESVD model is closer to the actual measured signal, with optimization of no less than 13.8% and 8.1% in the comparison of the error root mean square value and the amplitude of the key frequency, respectively.
