Abstract
The study objective is to develop and analyze mathematical models of vibrations of a passenger car with elastomeric dampers. The problem to which the paper is devoted is to improve the dynamic characteristics of the undercarriage of passenger cars and increase passenger comfort. The research methods used in this study are typical for solving the problems of rolling stock dynamics. The car is approximated by a system of concentrated masses connected by elastic and dissipative bonds. The external impact is track irregularities of different types. Differential equations of motion are combined using D'Alembert's principle. The set of equations is integrated by numerical method. The novelty of the work is, firstly, in the use of an elastomeric vibration dampener on the bogie of a passenger car, secondly, in the analysis of the dynamic qualities of this car when moving over the irregularities of the main types, and thirdly, in the choice of rational parameters of elastomeric dampers. The results of the study are graphs, nomograms and tables of the dependencies of maximum force values on various parameters, as well as an assessment of the movement smoothness. The conclusions of the work contain an assessment of the dependence of dynamic parameters on speed, recommendations on the characteristics of elastomeric dampers, the validity of using elastomeric dampers.
