Abstract: The editing method of load spectrum and the ratio of damage retention affect the quality of load editing together. Based on the steering knuckle's strain data measured in test site, the accelerated spectrum of wheel center six-component force signal with different damage retention proportion is obtained by using damage retention editing method and wavelet transform editing method. The effect of editing methods and editing parameters on quality of accelerated spectrum is analyzed from the aspects of compression efficiency, power spectral density, level-crossing counting, rain flow counting and statistical parameters. The influence of different edition scheme on the accuracy and efficiency of fatigue analysis is compared by fatigue simulation. The results show that the setting of damage retention ratio is not less than 90%, which is the premise of ensuring the editing quality of load spectrum. The fatigue analysis accuracy of damage retention editing method and wavelet transform editing method is close, but the accelerated effect of damage retention editing method is better. Using the damage retention editing method to retain 95% is the best editing scheme, the time compression ratio of the accelerated spectrum is nearly 50%, the simulation error of fatigue life is controlled within 5% and the simulation efficiency is improved by 215%, which provides a reference for improving the editing quality of durability load.

Key words: load spectrum editing, damage retention editing method, wavelet transform editing method, damage retention proportion, fatigue durability simulation
