Modal Correlation Based Analysis on Dynamic Characters of a Commercial Semi-Trailer's Chassis Frames

摘要

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 von Mises and main principle stresses of these two frames are obtained. It shows that the analysis results 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.
