Road Irregularity Model via Wavelet-reconstructed White Noise Regulated by Coherent Function Pair
To ensure the reliability of vehicle dynamics simulation results based on road irregularity input,a two-wheel road irregularity model using wavelet-reconstructed white noise and regulated by a parallel coherent/incoherent function pair was proposed.First,a standard white noise signal was reconstructed by removing the signal below the lower cut-off frequency after completing wavelet decomposition to obtain white noise above the lower cut-off frequency. The reconstructed white noise was then input into an integration transfer function with a precision correction term to obtain a nonstationary single-wheel road irregularity.Finally,three independent wavelet-reconstructed white noise precision correction integrals were modulated using a pair of parallel coherent/incoherent transfer functions to generate nonstationary two-wheel road irregularities.The wavelet decomposition and reconstruction of standard white noise improve the modeling accuracy of the road irregularity's power spectral density around the lower cut-off frequency using an integration transfer function with a precision correction term to adapt to different road irregularity frequency exponents. The modulation of the parallel coherent/incoherent transfer functions ensures the modeling accuracy of the coherence function between two-wheel road irregularities. The PSDs and coherent function curves of the modeled road irregularities closely agree with those of the actual ones,as demonstrated by two modeling applications on actual roads.
