To trade off between precise and cost, an experimental method based on the similitude theory is proposed. Under the guidance of the similitude theory, a 1：5 crawler power chassis scale model equipped with a kind of variable stiffness suspension system is used. The power spectrum density（PSD）, the root mean square（RMS） of weighed acceleration, peak factor, average absorbed power（AAP） and vibration dose value（VDV） are selected as ride comfort evaluation indexes, and tests results are transformed via similarity indexes to predict the performance of full-scale power chassis. PSD shows that the low-order natural frequency of the vertical natural frequency（z axis） is 1.1 Hz, and the RMS, AAP and VDV values indicate the ride comfort performance of this kind of power chassis is between the ＂A little uncomfortable＂ and ＂Rather uncomfortable＂. From the results, low-order vertical natural frequency, obtained by PSD, validates that the similarity relationship between two models is satisfied, and 1：5 scale model used in experiment meets the similarity relationship with the full-scale model; consequently, the ride comfort prophase evaluation with the 1：5 scale model is feasible. The attempt of applying the similitude theory to crawler vehicle ride comfort test study decreases the cost and improves the test feasibility with sufficient test precise.展开更多

文摘Levitation chassis, as an extremely important component of maglev vehicles, provides functions of transmitting levitation force and steering force, and directly affects the safety performance of the vehicle. Based on the vertical dynamics model of the levitation chassis, kinetic equations of the model are established, and a simulation program is designed to analyze the structural decoupling function of the chassis, especially under the influence of elastic constraints between the left and right modules, which are exclusively owned by maglev vehicles. A finite element model of the levitation chassis based on left-right decoupling is constructed. Analysis results of the model show that the mechanical properties of the chassis tailored for the vehicle meet the design requirements, and the stiffness and strength is adequate to bear the weight of the whole vehicle.
文摘In order to evaluate two different schemes＇ structural dynamic characters, dynamic response analysis of a commercial truck＇s main chassis frames is carried out. On the basis of correlation study between the tested and calculated modal results, the assembled frames＇ finite element analysis （FEA） models with sufficient precision are built up. Random response analysis in frequency domain is carried out with these FEA models, RMS values of yon Mises and main principle stresses of these two frames are obtained. It shows that the analysis resuits of the distributing tendency and concrete value ranges are coincident very well with test results. And from the results, it could be concluded that frames of scheme A endures relative better loading conditions and should be adopted as the final scheme.

文摘Long-period structures(e.g.Isolated structures)tend to produce pseudo-resonance with low frequency compo-nents of long-period ground motions,resulting in the increase in damage.Stiffness mutation occurs due to the set-back in the upper body of the large chassis structure.In the parts with stiffness mutation,the torsion effect caused by the tower is far greater than that of the chassis itself.In this study,a total of 273 ground motions are collected and then filtered into four types,including the near-field ordinary,near-field pulse,far-field ordinary,and far-field harmonic.An 8-degree(0.2 g)fortified large chassis base-isolated structure is established.Furthermore,ETABS program software is used to conduct nonlinear time history analysis on the isolation and seismic model under bi-directional earthquake ground motions.The comparison results show that the seismic isolation effect of the base-isolated structure under long-period ground motions is worse than that associated with ordinary ground motions when the seismic response reduction rate of the large base floor significantly decreases compared with that of the tower.When the inter-story displacement angle and the displacement of isolation layer of the chassis exceeds the limit of Code for Seismic Design of Buildings(GB 50011-2010),it is recommended to adopt composite seismic isolation technology or add limit devices.Under the condition of long-period ground motions,the base-isolated structure reduces the lateral-torsional coupling effect of the large chassis structure,while the torsion response of large chassis’top layer increases.Under long-period ground motions with the same acceleration peak,the response of the base-isolated structure increases much more than that of the seismic structure and the consideration of this impact is suggested to be added to the Code.
文摘Flow distribution and the effects of different boundary conditions are achieved for a steady-state conjugate (Conduction & Convection) heat transfer process.

文摘The terrain in hilly and mountainous regions is characterized by its discontinuity,constant undulations,and complex environment,leading to significant vibrations and potential tipping over of operating machinery.Traditional crawler chassis face challenges when encountering uneven terrain,with one side possibly being suspended and causing tipping.This study introduces a crawler chassis with a split structure to address this issue.The split design allows for crossing obstacles on one side,enabling better adaptation to the dynamic terrain of hilly and mountainous areas,ultimately maximizing the chassis’performance.Through research,it was found that the split structure effectively prevents single-sided crawler suspension,allowing for a maximum longitudinal slope angle of 42.3°,transverse slope angle of 27.38°,and a maximum ravine width of 445 mm.The prototype testing confirmed that the chassis can handle slopes of up to 41°on both sides and 30°on one side,with a maximum ravine width of 430 mm.Considering that the typical cultivated land angle in hilly and mountainous regions ranges from 2°to 15°,the designed chassis is well-suited for driving operations in underground farmland within such areas.

文摘This research presents an advanced study on the modeling and stability analysis of electro-hydraulic control modules used in intelligent chassis systems.Firstly,a comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model of the electro-hydraulic power-shift system is developed,incorporating pipeline characteristics through impedance analysis and examining coupling effects between the pilot solenoid valve,main valve,and pipeline.Then,the model’s accuracy is validated through experimental testing,demonstrating high precision and minimal model errors.A comparative analysis between simulation data(both with and without pipeline characteristics)and experimental results reveals that the model considering pipeline parameters aligns more closely with experimental data,highlighting its superior accuracy.The research further explores the influence of key factors on system stability,including damping coefficient,feedback cavity orifice diameter,spring stiffness,pipeline length,and pipeline diameter.Significant findings include the critical impact of damping coefficient,orifice diameter,and pipeline length on stability,while spring stiffness has a minimal effect.These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing electro-hydraulic control modules in intelligent chassis systems,with practical implications for automotive and construction machinery applications.

文摘Chassis-by-wire technology has gained significant attention,with the scope of chassis domain control expanding from traditional two-dimensional plane motion control to encompass three-dimensional space motion control.Modern chassis-by-wire systems manage an increasing number of heterogeneous chassis execution systems,including distributed drive,all-wheel drive(AWD),brake-by-wire(BBW),steer-by-wire(SBW),rear-wheel steering(RWS),active stabilizer bar(ASB)and active suspension system(ASS),greatly enhancing the controllable degrees of freedom compared to conventional chassis configurations.To advance research in chassis domain control,it is essential to understand how these heterogeneous execution systems influence vehicle dynamics.This paper focuses on the modeling and analysis of the lateral,longitudinal,and vertical chassis control and execution systems,-as well as their impact on vehicle lateral motion.Using a vehicle simulation platform,both the vehicle dynamics model and the individual dynamics models of each execution system were developed to analyze the influence of these systems on lateral dynamics.Additionally,a hierarchical control architecture was designed to control the vehicle’s lateral stability.The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme was demonstrated and validated through hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)tests and real-world vehicle testing.
