Dynamic Characteristics Analysis for Seismic Vibrator

Abstract

Seismic vibrator is one of the most widely used equipments in exploration field. In recent years, with the development of exploration field, as well as the growing needs of high quality seismic data, the seismic vibrator's tonnage has increased a lot, which makes the stress of the vehicle frame very complicated in working state. And some local structure of the vehicle frame often appears crack phenomenon in working state. Therefore, the dynamic characteristic analysis is essential to the Seismic vibrator. In this paper, the finite element model of vehicle frame is established by ANSYS software. Through the modal analysis, the natural frequencies are obtained, and each vibration modes are analyzed. On the basis of the modal analysis, the modal neutral file of the vehicle frame is established. Using the data transfer function between ANSYS and ADAMS, the rigid-flexible coupling multi-body model is built for the dynamics simulation of the seismic vibrator. In this model, the stiffness and damping of air springs, hydraulic oil and soil are simulated by the spring-damper in the ADAMS software. The dynamic characteristics of vehicle frame under excited forces with different amplitude are obtained and analyzed. The stresses for some of the hot spots of the vehicle frame are extracted, which can be used to analyze the dynamic failure of the vehicle frame.
