The rigid and elastic wheels of tire-soil contact models are proposed based on the Bekker pressure model and the Jonasi shear soil model, and they are described in the form of S-function to enhance the calculation efficiency and simulation accuracy. Finally, the interaction of truck and soil is simulated by Adams-Maflab co-simulation to study the influence of soft terrain on the ride comfort of vehicles. The co-simulation results reveal that the terrain properties have a great influence on the ride comfort of vehicles as well as driving speed, road roughness and cargo weight. This co-simulation model is convenient for adding the factor of terrain deformation to the analysis of vehicle ride comfort. It can also be used to optimize suspension system parameters especially for off-road vehicles.展开更多

The impact factors of dynamic tire loads, including the dynamic load stress factors, and the maximal and the minimal vertical dynamic load factors, are used to evaluate the dynamic interaction between heavy vehicles and roads under the condition of random road surface roughness. Matlab/Simulink is used to simulate the nonlinear dynamic system and calculate the impact factors. The effects of different road surface conditions on the safety of vehicle movement and the durability of parts of a vehicle are analyzed, as well as the effects of different structural parameters and different vehicle speeds on road surfaces. The study results provide both the warning limits of road surface roughness and the limits of corresponding dynamic parameters for the 5-axle heavy truck.展开更多

These parameters can be classified into different groups according to their properties, such as input design and material parameters, structural parameters etc. Some, by their nature, can be well controlled during the design and manufacture of the composite. The composite is assumed to be homogeneous and orthotropic macroscopically. With a selected representative unit cell and the stiffness model developed by author in 2000, the influence of all of these parameters can be determined. Results showing the influence of the main design geometric parameters are presented. They demonstrate that an optimal design is possible for the through-the-thickness stiffness of the composites. The methodology used can be generalized to predict the behavior of other kinds of 3D woven structures.展开更多
