Multi-axial fatigue life assessment of high speed car body based on PDMR method

This article mainly introduces a method of converting the acceleration signal of body bolster obtained by the circuit test into the load of the air spring seat of vehicle body. This method mainly decomposes the body's movement posture into the form of ups and downs, roll and nod. Then formulate the test plan according to the performance of the body fatigue test bench. The vertical and horizontal displacements and longitudinal force are used as control commands.Taking advantage of vehicle body fatigue test bench to reproduce these basic types of vibration. Establish the transfer function of the acceleration of the bolster and the displacement excitation of the air spring, and then obtaining the load of the air spring seat. Finally, the multi-axial fatigue life assessment of the vehicle body was performed using the obtained load combined with the Moment of Load Path Method and the Path-Dependent Maximum Range Method.

Vibration Transfer Analysis of High Speed Train Considering Car body Flexibility

In order to research the influence of the flexible car body on the vehicle system dynamic performance and to achieve the reasonable match between high speed and lightweight，it is necessary to build vehicle system dynamic model with the rigid car body replaced by the flexible car body. Due to the lower structure natural vibration frequency of car body, the influence of carbody flexibility on vehicle system dynamic performance is more influential. The influences of structural vibration of car body on vehicle system dynamics performance were studied by finite element analysis (FEA) method and multi-body system (MBS) dynamics theory. Rigid-flexible coupled vehicle system dynamic models were built up and the car body key location’s vibration was analyzed through vibration transmission chain. The results show that the influences of high speed carbody structure vibration on vehicle system dynamics performance are distinguished especially in the domain of car body natural vibration frequency.
