Engine mount vibration level, which is mainly driven by gas and unbalanced inertial forces, is one of the key metrics for the NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) performance of a vehicle. In addition to gas and unbalanced inertial forces, crankshaft dynamics has also effect on engine mount vibrations. This project is concentrating in including the effect of crankshaft dynamics on engine mount vibrations with the aid of Finite Element Methods and Multi Body Dynamics. Flywheel swirl mode, its effect on engine mount vibration levels and engine mount acceleration for different flywheel configurations will be simulated.

Motor end cover mounting fracture is a problem recently encountered by novel pure electric vehicles. Regarding the study of the traditional vehicle engine mount bracket and on the basis of the methods of design and optimisation available, we have analysed and optimised the pure electric vehicle end cover mount system. Multi-body dynamic software and finite element software have been combined. First, we highlight the motor end cover mount bracket fracture engineering problems, analyse the factors that may produce fracture, and propose solutions. By using CATIA software to establish a 3D model of the power train mount system, we imported it into ADAMS multi-body dynamic software, conducted 26 condition analysis, obtained five ultimate load conditions, and laid the foundations for subsequent analysis. Next, a mount and shell system was established by the ANSYS finite element method, and modal, strength, and fatigue analyses were performed on the end cover mount. We found that the reason for fracture lies in the intensity of the end cover mount joint, which leads to the safety factor too small and the fatigue life not being up to standard. The main goal was to increase the strength of the cover mount junction, stiffness, safety coefficient, and fatigue life. With this aim, a topology optimisation was conducted to improve the motor end cover. A 3D prototype was designed accordingly. Finally, stiffness, strength, modal, and fatigue were simulated. Our simulation results were as follows. The motor end cover suspension stiffness increases by 20%, the modal frequency increases by 2.3%, the quality increases by 3%, the biggest deformation decreases by 52%, the maximum stress decreases by 28%, the minimum safety factor increases by 40%, and life expectancy increases 50-fold. The results from sample and vehicle tests highlight that the component fracture problem has been successfully solved and the fatigue life dramatically improved.

This paper introduces a complex multi-body dynamics model which is established to simulate the dynamic behaviors of a multi-stage hybrid planetary gearing based on the finite element method and the software ADAMS. The finite element method is used to introduce deformable ring-gears and sun-gears by using 3D brick units. A whole multi-body dynamics model is established in the software ADAMS. Mesh stiffness variation excitation and gear tooth contact loss are intrinsically considered. A rich spectrum of dynamic phenomena is shown in the multi-stage hybrid planetary gearing. The results show that the static strength of main parts of the gearing is strong enough and the main vibration and noises are excited by the dynamic mesh forces acting on the tooth of planet-gears and ring-gears.

The Impact

In the past finite element analysis (FEA) and multi-body system simulation (MBS) were two isolated methods in the field of mechanical system simulation. Both of them had their specific fields of application. In recent years, it is urgent to combine these two methods as the flexible multi-body system grows up. This paper mainly focuses on modeling of the spindle system of hammer crusher, including geometric model, finite element model and multi-body dynamics (MBD) model. For multi-body dynamics modeling, the contact force between hammer and scrap steel was discussed, which is important to obtain the impact force. This paper also proposed how to combine FEA and MBS to analyze the dynamic performance of the spindle system by using different software products of MSC.Software.

Due to rapid development in the industry, operating speeds and eccentricity produced undesirable vibrations which may lead to damage in bearings, seals, and lubrication systems. In the proposed paper, a novel analytical method was presented using an integrated multi-body dynamics and finite element analysis to simulate the lateral and torsional vibration. This method was applied to a proposed model of single rotor-system. In order to study the lateral and torsional vibration of the system profoundly, three markers were placed on the locations of the left and right bearings and the mass center of the shaft. The effects of bearing force caused by lateral and torsional vibrations were also analyzed. The results showed that the lateral vibration has a great effect on the dynamic of single rotor-system when lowering motor speed. It was found that, as motor speed increased, the motion of the system becomes more stable with steady fluctuates of the displacement response. The calculated natural frequency of SRS is compared with theoretical results to verify the transient solver. This novel method is practical in analyzing the lateral and torsional vibration of the SRS under various speeds and eccentricities.

Based on the multi-body dynamics theory and modal-reduction analysis, finite element method and multi-body dynamics were combined to establish the flexible track model. The rigid-flexible coupled dynamics model can reflect the features of coupled vibration accurately. When the flexibility of the rail, damping and stiffness of support layers under the rail are taken into consideration, the whole track structure acted as a buffer while wheel and rail is interacting with each other. Compared with rigid track model, the wheel-rail vibration is less in the flexible track model. The proposed method in this paper is simple and effective, which makes the calculation of vehicle-track dynamic response more convenient and quick.
