Study on Fatigue Life Reliability of Vehicle Bogie Arm Positioning Node
Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective Based on the virtual simulation fatigue test technology, fatigue life analysis and reliability evaluation of the bogie arm positioning node of a certain type of vehicle are carried out to improve the vehicle stability and guarantee the train operation safety. Method ABAQUS software is used to establish a finite element model of the arm positioning node and obtain the stress and strain data. FE-SAFE software is used to set the fatigue parameters of rubber material, simulate and analyze its fatigue life. Graph test method is used to test the distribution hypothesis of pseudo-failure fatigue life and to select the optimal life distribution. The relation between the life distribution parameters and the stress level is used to fit a proper functional relation and evaluate the reliability of the arm positioning node fatigue life under normal stress level. Result & Conclusion Under normal stress level, only the rubber bushing in arm positioning node will have fatigue damage. The bottom end of the rubber bushing is the area with the lowest pseudo-failure fatigue life value, and is also the area where the damage occurs first. On-site test and fatigue simulation results verify the accuracy of the finite element model of arm positioning node. The optimal normal life distribution is determined. Under normal stress level, the number of fatigue life cycles is about 210,000 when the reliability of the arm positioning node is 0.9.
