Multi body simulation model of a leaf-spring bogie suspension
Abstract
The article provides a description of a spatial multi-body simulation model of a leaf-spring bogie suspension for dynamic analysis of cargo wheeled vehicles in MBS software. The model ensures an adequate reflection of elastic-damping properties and takes into account the kinematic features of multi-leaf spring operation without using finite element models of the leaf springs. The presented model can be effectively applied in dynamic analysis of multi-axle wheeled vehicles that require reproduction of long-term time implementations and multiple simulations.
