Kinematics and Dynamics Simulation Research for Roller Coaster Multi-Body System

Abstract:

To assess the roller coaster multi-body system security, it is need to extract the running process of kinematics, dynamics, load spectrum and other features, as basis dates of the roller coaster structural design. Based on Solidworks/motion software and in the 3D model, the calculation formula of the carrying car velocity and acceleration is derived, and the five risk points of the roller coaster track section are found by simulation in the running, and the simulation results of roller coaster axle mass center velocity are compared with theoretical calculation results, which error is less than 4.1%, indicating that the calculation and simulation have a good fit and providing the evidence for the roller coaster structure design analysis.
