ANALYSIS OF THE STRESSED STATE OF THE AXLE OF A WHEEL PAIR OF A PASSENGER CAR

The paper considers the results of calculations of the axle of the wheel pair of apassenger car for strength and durability from fatigue. The loads acting on the axle of a passengercar during movement at the maximum permissible speed are determined.To solve the problems of studying the stress state of the axle of the passenger car at the firststage, a three-dimensional geometric model of the axis RU1 was developed. The most unfavorableload combination was taken into account in the calculation. The horizontal load was up to 10 kN.The load was applied to the axle necks, respectively, in the vertical and horizontal directions.The calculated model of the car axle RU1 is developed, on the basis of which the finiteelementmodel is created and the stress state of the wheel pair under the action of the main types ofload is investigated. The size of the finite element grid was chosen using a graphoanalytical methodand refined to a size of 2 mm. This feature of the finite element grid allowed to calculate thestresses in the calculated cross sections with greater accuracy and to determine the nature of thestress distribution.It is established that the maximum stresses arising in the axle of the passenger car under the most unfavorable work conditions that are concentrated in the filler in the zone oftransition from the neck to the pre-axle part.The axle was calculated for fatigue. Fatigue tests are usually performed at a uniaxial stressstate, so it is necessary to convert the multiaxial stress state to one scalar value to determine thenumber of cycles to failure at a given voltage amplitude. The load can occur with a constantamplitude.The number of load cycles that the car axle can withstand under operating loads isdetermined. According to the results of the research, restrictions on the service life of the axles ofwheel pairs of passenger cars are proposed.

ANALYSIS OF FINITE ELEMENT SOLUTION CONSERVATIVE SMOOTHING INFLUENCE ON THE ZERO ENERGY MODES SUPPRESSION

The problem of high-speed penetration of a non-deformable cylinder into a steel plate is considered. The defining system of equations is formulated in Lagrange variables in a three-dimensional formulation. The equation of motion is derived from virtual work capacities balance. Kinematic relations are recorded in the metric of the current state. The relations of the flow theory with kinematic and isotropic hardening are used as equations of state. The contact interaction of the cylinder and the plate is modeled by non-penetration conditions. The numerical solution of the problem under given boundary and initial conditions is based on the moment scheme of the finite element method and “cross” type explicit time integration scheme. To discretize the defining system of equations with respect to spatial variables, 8-node isoparametric finite elements with multilinear form functions are used. To suppress the high-frequency oscillations of the numerical solution, the procedure of nodal displacement velocities conservative smoothing is used. The smoothing algorithm is based on the momentum conservation law, focused on finite element grids consisting of blocks that are mutually unambiguously mapped to a unit cube. To analyze the nodal displacement velocities monotonicity, the numerical solution splitting in the directions of the finite element grid lines is used. As the results of computer modeling have shown, the finite elements of the plate are exposed large deformations and rotation angles as a rigid whole during local intense dynamic loading. The conservative smoothing procedure influence on the numerical solution stability is analyzed. It is shown that in the problem under consideration, without applying the conservative smoothing procedure, zero-energy modes develop in the contact zone in the finite-element grid of the plate (an hourglass-type instability) and the collision process cannot be modeled before the cylinder rebounds.

The stress-strain state of gondola mounting bracket of a transport aircraft

The bracket is used to attach the gondola, which is an important part of the aircraft power plant. The gondola is constantly subjected to heavy loads when starting the engine, in flight, takeoff and landing. Therefore, the strength of the brackets of its attachment is very important. The geometric 3D model was built in SOLIDWORKS and imported for further calculations in ANSYS. A grid of tetraidal elements was created by the program. Thanks to the obtained FE (finite element) grid, we make the calculation of the stress strain state. Comments are provided on changes in the geometric and mass parameters of the bracket, based on the results of calculations.
