Summary
In this paper, a beam model is set up to investigate the influence of equipment suspension style on the amplitude frequency characteristic curves of a coupling model; and the response displacement versus unit input displacement at the centre of the carbody. The results reveal that the flexible suspension can increase the vertical bending frequency of the carbody and decrease the vibration amplitude.
In order to study the influence law of the equipment partial load and analyse the matching relations between the carbody and equipment, a hybrid multibody model of the vehicle is set up. The simulation results show that the equipment partial load have a great influence on the ride index of the carbody. The equipment lateral partial load affects the lateral ride index of the carbody, but the longitudinal partial load mainly affects the vertical ride index. When the flexible suspension frequency is close to the carbody bending frequency, the minimum vibration of the carbody occurs. Increasing the suspension damping ratio has little influence on the vibration of the carbody when the suspension frequency is greater than the bending frequency of the carbody.
