Abstract:
On the one hand, considering that the traditional fatigue method of railway freight cars is based on damage as a parameter, the influence of stress waveform cannot be considered. On the other hand, physical experiments have the characteristics of lag, long period, and high cost. The full-scale physical test and virtual test of car body are carried out. First of all, the data processing method of small deletion and the inverse problem load acquisition method based on data to data are proposed. Secondly, the dynamic stress calculation method with the bench as the boundary is proposed. Finally, taking the obtained load as the input of the physical and virtual bench, a new fatigue test method for simulating the running attitude of the car body line is completed. The acceleration RMS error of the C70E gondola body is less than 6%, the stress RMS is less than 13%, and the equivalent mileage is 3.125 million highway test results show that the car meets the life requirements of the car body. The inverse problem analysis results of virtual and physical tests are basically consistent, and the study of this method provides a basis for improving the fatigue reliability of freight car bodies.
