Abstract: Jiefang CA141 was selected as a representative vehicle, the four possible kinds of driving behaviors at climbing section were analyzed, and the acceleration was calculated based on the parameters of dynamics performance when vehicle shifted to accelerate or decelerate at climbing section.A 3D finite element model was established for the transient dynamics analysis of asphalt pavement under moving load.The compressive stresses, shear stresses and vertical displacement characteristics under different driving behaviors were analyzed.Calculation result shows that under the effect of moving load, the mechanics response of pavement structure not only has fluctuation, but also presents alternating feature within a certain region, and there is reversal of changes on tension and compression stresses in the area.Specifically, compressive stress concentrates in the area of 0~6 cm for road surface, the maximum shear stress moves from wheel joint to wheel centre as the speed of vehicle reduces and the horizontal force increases, and its peak shifts from middle surface layer to road surface along depth direction.The speed variation and low speed are the main reasons for pavement rutting at climbing section.More>
Abstract: With elastic base theory, the main influence factors of stress for pavement slab under plane loads were analyzed, the calculating formula form of stress was deduced by modifying the stress formula of highway pavement under standard axis load.Pavement's structural parameters were organized by orthogonal design method, and the stresses under different combinations of plane loads and pavement structures were calculated by FEM.The stresses and parameters were analyzed by nonlinear regression method, and the calculating formulae of stress under single wheel plane load were got.By introducing the modifying coefficient of load radius, the calculating formulae of stress under dual-wheel and dual-wheel-dual-axes plane loads were deduced by nonlinear regression method.The calculating formulae of stress under multi-wheel-multi-axes loads were deduced by combined load theory.Error analysis result indicates that the relative errors between the calculating results by nonlinear regression method and FEM are less than 2%, so the stress formulae have high precision.More>

Abstract: A novel hydrodynamic layout based on anisomerous bow rudder was firstly proposed for strongly maneuvering underwater supercavitating vehicle because aft rudder is short of effectiveness.In the layout, straight-and-level flight and strong maneuverability motion were considered.Bow rudder with 2 DOFs controlled orientation with deflexion in level, and controlled pitching or depth with up-and-down motion.Anti-roll fin appended below the rudder generated imbalances torque.For validating the dynamic characteristic of the design layout, related simulation on a supercavitating vehicle was carried out.The attenuation of remanent roll moment completes in about 0.1 s, and ultimate roll angle is less than 0.1°.Analytical result shows that the novel layout can markedly improve control rudder effectiveness.More>
Abstract: In order to research the influence of suspension types of linear induction motor(LIM)on the dynamics performance of vehicle system, and further decrease the air gap fluctuation of LIM and reduce wheel-rail impact by using active suspension, the multi-body dynamics model of metro vehicle was set up.The electromagnetic force model of LIM was built by using classical electromagnetic theory.The model of constant air gap control system with electromechanical actuator was established.The constant air gap control strategy and its influence on the vehicle's dynamics were studied by numerical simulation.Simulation result shows that the air gap change is mainly caused by the change of load when large-deflection primary suspension and LIM frame suspension are adopted, its frequency is very low, so the constant air gap control of LIM is easy to carry out.The control can guarantee that the vehicle meets the requirement of air gap under different load conditions, vertical wheel-rail interaction force reduces by about 10 kN, and the comfort index decreases by about 0.1.Moreover, the dynamics performance of the vehicle will be improved campared with traditional LIM vehicle, and its traction force is smoother.More>
Abstract: To predict the human vibration response characteristics and riding comfort of human-vehicle system efficiently, a 9-DOF riding dynamics model of automobile was established according to human-vehicle-road interaction and multi-body dynamics principle.The dynamics equations of the model were derived by using Lagrange Principle.A time domain model of random road excitation was established according to random road excitation and the change of vehicle speed.A human-vehicle-road system simulation model was established by using MATLAB/Simulink, and the simulation and analysis of human vibration response in a light vehicle on different roads and at different speeds were carried out.Simulation result shows that the amplitude of human acceleration response significantly increases with the drop of road level at the same speed.On random road, the energy of human vibration caused by random road excition concentrates in low frequency, the first order resonance frequency appears around 5 Hz, and the second order resonance frequency occurs around 10 Hz, which is consistent with many experimental results.Therefore, the 9-DOF dynamics model and the simulation model are reliable to quickly compute the vibration characteristics of human and riding comfort under dynamic environment.More>
