Some crucial loads that current strength design specifications have not taken into account are also considered when assessing the strength of a bogie frame. Calculation methods of these loads come from load analysis. Finite element simulation and fatigue test rig have been used to assess static strength and fatigue strength of a bogie frame. In addition to the two methods, actual running test is also used to assess bogie frame fatigue strength. In finite element simulation method, endurance limit and modified Goodman fatigue limit diagram are two important tools to judge whether fatigue strength of a bogie frame meets requirement. In actual running test method, Miner linear cumulative damage rule is used to assess bogie frame fatigue strength.

Study Results

With finite element simulation method, the fatigue life of vehicle front floor is analyzed in different vehicle wheelbases and velocities, and the washboard enhancement coefficient is calculated, then K-v curve, K-m curve and K-v-m surface are drawn, with which influence of vehicle velocity and wheelbase on washboard enhancement coefficient is studied. The study results show that, when the wheelbase is constant, washboard enhancement coefficient increases first and then decreases with velocity increasing, and reaches peak at a certain velocity; when velocity is constant, washboard enhancement coefficient decreases as wheelbase increasing; when velocity and wheelbase both changes, washboard enhancement coefficient varies in K-v-m surface.

Element Simulation

A phenomenon-based hybrid approach of experimental testing and finite element simulations is used to describe the fracture behavior of pipe-grade polyethylene. The experimental testing adopts a modified D-split test method to stretch the pipe ring (notched pipe ring) specimens that have symmetric, double-edged flat notches along the pipe direction. Two series of experimental testing were conducted: (1) monotonic loading till fracture and (2) monotonic loading to a predefined strain level, keeping constant displacement for a period of time, and then unloaded. Crosshead speeds of 0.01, 1, and 100 mm/min were used in both series of tests. Likewise, two series of finite element simulation were conducted to establish the constitutive equations, either with or without considering damage evolution during the deformation process. The constitutive equation without the consideration of damage was established using results from the first series of experimental testing, and that with damage was inspired from the second series which showed the decrease in unloading modulus with the increase of crosshead speed or the predefined strain level. The results show that with the consideration of damage evolution, the constitutive equations enable the finite element simulation to determine the whole stress–strain relationship during both necking and fracture processes.

The Impact

AbstractThe problem considered in this work is the development of simulation method for simulating car crash which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model developed in MATLAB. Usually, car crash simulation is done using full finite element simulation which could take hours or days depending on the model size. The purpose of proposed method is to achieve quick results on the car crash simulation. Past works which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model to simulate car crash use continuous time model and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from the experimental results. Different from the related works, this work uses discrete time model, and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from finite element simulation. Therefore, the proposed simulation method is not only achieving quick simulation results but also minimizing the cost and time in obtaining the impact attenuator parameter. The proposed method is suitable for parametric study of impact attenuator.
