Vibration reduction of vehicle is essential to improve the ride comfort. For evaluating the ride comfort, the vehicle vibration is occasionally analyzed in time domain. In this study, we propose a method to obtain the high contributing vehicle body vibration behavior deteriorating the ride comfort at a transient condition in time domain. We considered and applied two methods to realize the time domain analytical method. In the first method, we applied principal component (PC) analysis to the time domain vibration acceleration signals of the multiple body points at the transient condition to obtain the important vibration behavior. In the second method, we applied the PC analysis to the frequency domain signals and re-generated time domain signal by inverse FFT (IFFT). Through a simple vehicle vibration test at a transient condition and the comparison of the result, both methods were found to have ability to extract the high contributing body behavior at the transient condition but the second method utilizing IFFT was clarified to be more useful and accurate method.
