Fatigue life prediction and accelerated verification tests under a random vibration environment are important tasks for evaluating product reliability. This paper reviews the characteristics of random stress processes, discusses the methodology of life prediction and accelerated testing under various random loadings by using the stress power spectral density (PSD) function obtained from finite element analysis (FEA), and develops an engineering method to determine the acceleration level and test time in reliability verification tests. The discussions cover the narrow-band Gaussian processes, the wide-band Gaussian processes, and the nonGaussian processes. To illustrate the practical procedure of life prediction and accelerated testing based on the damage equivalent technique, the application example of an automotive component is presented.

Today, freight is an extremely important industry for the world we are living. Fast transportation, large volume...will optimize the cost, time and effort. Besides, ensuring the products safety is a matter of concern. During transporting, it is inevitable that the vibration caused by the engine, rough road surface...the cargo inside can be damaged. Automobile industries have prime importance to vibration testing. Sine vibration testing is performed when we have been given with only one frequency at given time instant. Trend to perform random vibration testing has been increased in recent times. As random vibration considers all excited frequencies in defined spectrum at known interval of time, it gives real-time data of vibration severities. The vibration severity is expressed in terms of Power Spectral Density (PSD). KLT box is an industrial stacking container conforming to the VDA 4500 standard that was defined by German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for the automotive industry. The aim of this paper is study about random vibration and power spectral density analysis, how it can be used to predict the impact of hash road to the KLT box on container / truck during transportation. Finite element model is developed in ANSYS, modal analysis and random vibration analysis were done.

This article presents a methodology for selecting the frequency resolution bandwidth for the spectral analysis of stationary random vibration signals in an optimum manner. Specifically, the resolution bandwidth that will produce power spectral density estimates with a minimum mean square error is determined for any given measurement duration (averaging time), and methods of approximating the optimum bandwidth using practical spectral analysis procedures are detailed. The determination of the optimum resolution bandwidth requires an estimate for the damping ratio of the vibrating structure that produced the measured vibration signal and the analysis averaging time. It is shown that the optimum resolution bandwidth varies approximately with the 0.8 power of the damping ratio and the bandwidth center frequency, and the −0.2 power of the averaging time. Also, any resolution bandwidth within ±50% of the optimum bandwidth will produce power spectral density (PSD) estimates with an error that is no more than 25% above the minimum achievable error. If a damping ratio of about 5% for structural resonances is assumed, a constant percentage resolution bandwidth of 1/12 octave, but no less than 2.5 Hz, will provide a near optimum PSD analysis for an averaging time of 2 seconds over the frequency range from 20 to 2000 Hz. A simple scaling formula allows the determination of appropriate bandwidths for other damping ratios and averaging times.

Dynamic response of impeller of centrifugal compressor is studied considering pulsating pressure field on blades due to unsteady flow conditions. The aerodynamic forces on the blades are modeled as random load whose spectral characteristics are determined through computational fluid dynamic simulations in the time domain. The dynamical response in the unsteady case is solved as a random vibration problem in the frequency domain which provides useful power spectral density displacement and stress for early stage of impeller design. A semi-open impeller mounted with 19 blades is modeled using three dimensional solid finite elements. The random vibration problem of the impeller is solved through the Pseudo-Excitation Method considering spatial variance of the pressure field. A user-defined module is developed based on harmonic analysis to generate the auto power spectral density and variance of displacement and stress at 200 nodes. It is demonstrated that solving a random vibration problem through the Pseudo-Excitation Method is faster than the commonly adopted multiple-step transient analysis. It is concluded that evaluating the structural integrity of impeller solids in the regime of random vibration is a feasible and efficient approach at the early design stage of compressors.

Based on the random vibration theory, fatigue strength theory and Miner cumulative damage theory, the formulas for estimation of fatigue life which can be coped with narrowband and broadband random vibration was derived by the peak distribution function. The power spectral density function of axle structure is deduced after the power spectral density of standard road and the vibration model of wheel had studying. Combined the power spectral density function with broadband random vibration fatigue life estimation formula, the fatigue life of axle structure was obtained. This method is simple and has a strong engineering practicality.

The fatigue life prediction and reliability analysis of dynamic systems under random excitement are important topics in modern engineering design. However, the stress power spectral density and the formulation of fatigue life prediction of a component in a dynamic system must be known when one predicts its fatigue life. A method of simulating computation for the fatigue life of a dynamic structure is presented. The method is based on the concept of unit load stress matrix. According to it, the relationship between the stress power spectral density of a structure in a system and the response spectra of the system can be established. Based on this, the formulation of the fatigue life prediction which is decided by the random stress process is obtained. With this method, the stress power spectral density simulation and the reliability fatigue life prediction for the CW-200 type vehicle truck are made. The method is suitable not only for the running dynamic structure but also for newly designed dynamic structures especially.
