Abstract:Based on the bending deformation theory of cantilever beam, the mathematical model of bending deformation of single valve slice under uniform load is proposed and deduced by using the microbeam element method (MEM). The accuracy and reliability of the mathematical model established by the MEM and the small deflection method (SDM) are verified through the finite element simulation comparison. The results show that the valve slice deformation mathematical model under uniform load established by using the deforma… Show more
This study, through rigorous bench testing, has identified the pivotal parameters influencing the oil flow state within the shock absorber. Based on the Reynolds number parameter model, a reduced parameter model was established, incorporating the number of holes in the throttle valve, their diameters, and the diameters of the piston and piston rod as fundamental parameters. To ensure the model’s precision, this study developed high-accuracy solid and fluid finite element models, defined specific time steps for both laminar and turbulent flows along with their respective numerical methods, and executed a detailed Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) finite element simulation analysis. The findings indicate that fluid-structure interaction simulation accurately captures the shock absorber oil’s flow states across laminar, transitional, and turbulent phases, identifying the maximum Reynolds number position, with the simulation’s velocity-specific results aligning closely with the parameter model, showing a maximum deviation of 22%, a minimum of 2%, and an overall average error of 9.1%.

Shock absorbers are essential in enhancing vehicle ride comfort by mitigating vibrations. However, traditional rubber shock absorbers are constrained by their fixed stiffness and damping properties, limiting their adaptability to varying loads and thus affecting the ride comfort, especially under extreme road conditions. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), known for their intelligent material properties, offer a unique solution by adjusting stiffness and damping in response to temperature changes or strain rates, making them ideal for advanced vibration control applications. This study builds upon the Auricchio constitutive model to propose an enhanced SMA hyper-elastic constitutive model that accounts for different loading rates. This new model elucidates the impact of loading rates on the stiffness and damping characteristics of SMAs. Additionally, we introduce an innovative circular rubber-based SMA composite vibration reduction structure. Through a parameterized model and finite element simulation, we comprehensively analyze the stiffness and damping properties of the composite damper under various loading rates and harmonic excitations. Our findings suggest a novel approach to improving the vehicle ride comfort, offering significant potential for engineering applications and practical value.
