Source Identification of Non-Stationary Sound-Vibration Signals Using Multi-Dimensional Spectral Analysis Method

In this paper, time-frequency analysis and multi-dimensional spectral analysis methods are applied to source identification and diagnostic of non-stationary sound-vibration signals. By checking the coherences for concerned time, this simulation is very well coincident to expected results. The proposed method analyzes the signal instantaneously in both time and frequency domains. The MDSA (Multiple Dimensional Spectral Analysis) analyzes the signal in the plane of instantaneous time and instantaneous frequency at the same time. And it was verified by using the 1500cc passenger car which is accelerated from 70 Hz to 95 Hz in 4 seconds, the proposed method is effective in determining the vehicle diagnostic problems.
