4.2 Analysis conditions
Of the traveling test conditions of actual machine, 3 running modes were selected to execute calculation. For this calculation, it was assumed that a loaded vehicle traveled on a hard road surface.
(1) The case of both wheels getting over blocks
Both left and right tires get over blocks at steady-state speed (approx. 5.6km/h) at the same time (Fig. 8).
3) Left-right sudden turn
After traveling at steady-state speed (approx. 15km/h), the vehicle is suddenly turned at its maximum steering speed
(Fig. 10).
4.3 Evaluation points for comparison with actual measurement
4 points at front and rear portions of left and right frames
were selected as evaluation points because it was expected that
comparatively high stress would occur there and that we would
be able to grasp the deformation mode of frame from the behavior of these points (Fig. 11).
4.4 Evaluation by comparing with actual measurement
(1) The case of both wheels getting over blocks
Fig. 12 shows the comparison of calculation and measurement for front right evaluation point; Fig. 13, for rear right evaluation point. For front right evaluation point, both stress level and variation period show a good coincidence between calculation and measurement. Comparatively high stress occurs when the center axle wheel is lowered after getting over the block.
On the other hand, for rear right evaluation point, calculated stress on compression side becomes high, compared with measurement, at around 13th second, though the behavior of variation shows a comparatively good coincidence. At this time, the front wheel tire gets on the block while the chassis is still being lowered after the rear wheel is lowered. The difference between calculation and measurement seems attributable to that, with the 2-dimensional odel used for the calculation, local deformation of tire is small compared with actual machine, resulting in increased reaction force of tire.
Fig. 14 shows the deformation and stress distribution of
frames when the center axle wheel gets over the block. It is
understood from this figure that the frames are deformed in
vertical bending mode.
