Study on Mechanics Properties of Automobile Rear Axle Shell and Optimization Design in Manufacturing System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mechanics properties of a certain automobile rear axle shell were studied and a large displacement, large strain elastoplastic finite element analysis was carried out. and the followings were obtained: the load-displacement curve at loading point, elastoplastic strain-load curve at the maximum stress point, elastoplastic stress-load curve in dangerous cross-section, and the yielding load at which the dangerous cross-section overall yield. The results show that elastoplastic finite element simulation results are much closer to the experimental corresponding results. Through optimization design in manufacturing system, the weight of the rear axle shell is greatly reduced as compared with the original design. Optimal design not only saves materials and reduces cost, but also greatly reduces the design time. The calculation results provide the necessary data for automobile rear axle design, strength evaluation and fatigue life estimate.
