Abstract:
Method and apparatus for detecting vibrational and/or acoustic transfers in a mechanical system A method and apparatus for detecting vibro-acoustic transfers in a mechanical system are provided. The method comprises: while operating the mechanical system, acquiring, at each of multiple input points, an input signal indicative of a mechanical load acting on the input point, and acquiring, at a response point, a response signal indicative of a mechanical response; training a neural network device using the input signals acquired at the input points and using the response signal acquired at the response point; and, for each of the input points: providing only the input signal acquired at the respective input point to the trained neural network device and obtaining, from the neural network device, a contribution signal indicative of a predicted contribution of the respective input signal to the response signal. Vibro-acoustic transfers may be detected solely based on operational data, thereby reducing time and a cost for performing a transfer analysis.
