Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Property of Vehicle Frame Based on Finite Element Method

Abstract:

The dynamic property of vehicle frame directly affects the safety and comfort of whole vehicles. In order to fully understand the dynamic properties of vehicle frame, both finite element beam and shell models for vehicle frame are established and the natural frequencies of vehicle frame in free working conditions are obtained. The results from beam model and shell model have high accuracy. Those results can be helpful for improvement and optimization of the vehicle frames.
