Abstract

The lining stability of the side walls and roof of the passenger car body is assessed during repair work related to its asymmetric lifting with a jack at one end of the body. Using mathematical modeling, the lifting height is determined which is necessary to ensure the possibility to dismantle the springs of the spring set of the central suspension. The stability of the reinforced lining of the car body was assessed using the developed problem-oriented elastic-dissipative finite element model of the supporting structure of the passenger car body. The calculations are performed in a static non-linear formulation, taking into account the geometric nonlinearity and non-conservativeness of the operating loads. The stability of the reinforced load-bearing lining of the car was assessed both for the initial structure and for a structure with geometric imperfections such as technological loss. The analysis of the research results allows to conclude that during the technological operation associated with lifting the passenger car body with a jack under one support, it can lead to a loss of stability of the sill belt lining of the side wall and the smooth sheathing of the roof slope. The results obtained agree with the results of the inspection of full-scale cars in operation.
