Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration control technology, and in particular to a method for obtaining structural modal forces and a resonance control method for a rail vehicle system. Background Technology

[0002] As the operating mileage and speed of rail trains increase, train vibration intensifies, leading to a decrease in train running stability. The main reasons for this include two aspects:

[0003] On the one hand, most train bodies currently adopt lightweight design, with the body designed as a hollow aluminum welded structure. Compared with the traditional steel structure body, it can reduce the weight by about 40%, while reducing air resistance, thereby improving traction acceleration and reducing energy consumption. However, the aluminum alloy body usually leads to insufficient structural rigidity and increased structural vibration.

[0004] On the other hand, while lightweight vehicle design helps reduce axle load and improves wheel-rail interaction and service conditions of related components, the significant reduction in vehicle stiffness leads to a decrease in vehicle modal frequencies. These frequencies are more likely to approach the excitation frequencies from other structures, thus exciting the vehicle's elastic modes and exacerbating vibrations. In an increasing number of cases, vehicle elastic vibration has become a significant factor affecting passenger comfort.

[0005] Patent CN106570264B discloses a method for rapidly adapting the excitation force in pure modal testing. In this method, an exciter is used to apply the excitation force, and the modal force is then solved by solving the excitation force. The calculation process is complex and not easy to implement.

[0056] S1. Definition of structural modal forces in rail vehicle systems.

[0057] Modal force refers to the force applied to each vibration mode after considering the vibration modes of the structure. It reflects the contribution of the excitation force to modal excitation. By calculating modal forces, the influence of different modal forces on the structural response can be understood. Furthermore, modal forces are the direct source of modal vibrations.

[0072] The above three equations represent the modal (principal) mass matrix, modal (principal) stiffness matrix, and modal structure proportional damping matrix, respectively. `diag` represents a diagonal matrix. For the first Modal (principal) stiffness of the first-order natural vibration mode. For the first Modal (principal) mass of the first natural mode shape, For the first The modal structure proportional damping coefficient of the first natural vibration mode.

[0073] Combining the orthogonality relation (5), (6), and (7), we obtain the decoupling equation system.

[0075] Without loss of generality, let the steady-state displacement response be expressed as... Substituting, we get:

[0076] (9)

[0077] Rewriting the above expression in component form, we get:

[0080] (11)

[0081] In the formula, Represents the excitation frequency, Representing the system's number The modal frequencies of the first mode. Representing the The magnitude of the first modal coordinates, The first representing each point A set of mode shapes.

[0082] The motion equations in physical space are decoupled through modal vectors, while the excitation force needs to be multiplied by the transpose of the mode shape matrix. It refers to modal forces. It can be seen that the transpose of the mode shape matrix... It contains information about different vibration modes. This represents the collection of external forces acting on the structure.

[0083] S2. Extraction of modal forces acting on the structure of the rail vehicle system.

[0084] Once the vehicle system dynamic parameters are determined, the modal parameter part in the denominator of equation (10) is a constant. It depends only on the molecular part, that is, the overall effect of all suspension elements on the vehicle body. First-order modal force, defined as :

[0085] (12)

[0086] In the formula, Indicates the first The force amplitude of each suspension element acting on the vehicle body This represents the total number of suspension elements, where the amplitude of the unforced points is 0.

[0087] All suspension components work together to affect the overall structure of the vehicle body. First-order modal forces In reality, it is the first action of each suspension element on the vehicle body. It is formed by the superposition of modal forces. When At its minimum, The corresponding value reaches its minimum, which also means that the vibration of this mode reaches its minimum.

[0088] S3. Modal force contribution analysis of the rail vehicle system structure.

[0089] To more intuitively illustrate the first A certain modal force exerted by a suspension element on the vehicle body relative to all other suspension elements. s The degree of participation of each suspension element in the overall modal force of the vehicle body at a certain order will be determined by the number of suspension elements. The energy of a certain modal force exerted on the vehicle body by a suspension element is defined as follows:

[0090] (13)

[0091] In the formula, For the first The first modal force of a suspension element acting on the vehicle body is... Force amplitude at each sampling point This represents the total number of sampling points.

[0092] Therefore, the first A suspension element exerts a certain modal force energy on the vehicle body. G x account for all s The ratio of the total modal force energy of a certain order exerted by all suspension components on the vehicle body The contribution of a certain modal force exerted by the suspension element on the vehicle body can be calculated as follows:

[0093] (14)

[0094] To verify the effectiveness of the above method, the following experiments were conducted in this embodiment:

[0095] 1. Extract the forces acting on the vehicle body from the air spring, secondary vertical damper, secondary lateral damper, anti-hunting damper, and traction rod in the dynamics software SIMPACK.

[0096] 2. Based on the vehicle body modal shape matrix information extracted by condensation calculation, the modal forces of each suspension element acting on the vehicle body and the total modal forces of all suspension elements acting on the vehicle body are calculated, taking the air spring as an example.

[0097] Modal forces acting on the vehicle body by the air springs are extracted from the vehicle rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model. The forces acting on the vehicle body by the air springs in the lateral and vertical directions are extracted, and the component values ​​of the mode shape vectors at the connection points of the four air springs on the vehicle body are extracted by condensation calculation. The combined force of all air springs acting on the lateral direction of the vehicle body is calculated. Figure 2 ) and vertical ( Figure 3 Modal forces.

[0098] The analysis and calculation results show that by mapping and decomposing the forces acting on the vehicle body by all the air springs in the modal space, they can be effectively decoupled into modal forces of various orders.

[0099] S3. Based on the modal forces exerted on the vehicle body by each suspension element, further analyze the magnitude and contribution of the modal forces exerted on the vehicle body by each suspension element.

[0100] This experiment obtained the following results through analysis: Figure 3 The horizontal and vertical contributions of the rhomboid modal forces are shown in Figures (a) and (b).

[0102] This embodiment provides a resonance control method based on the modal force acquisition method for a rail vehicle system structure described in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0103] The contribution of each modal force to vehicle vibration is calculated, and the suspension system design is optimized to reduce the modal forces that contribute significantly to vehicle vibration, thereby reducing resonance and achieving resonance control.

[0104] That is, under the premise that the position of the analysis measurement point remains unchanged, i.e., the component values ​​of the mode shape vectors at each analysis measurement point remain unchanged, the factors affecting the elastic modal vibration of the vehicle body include the denominator of that mode. The section concerning modal parameters and modal forces of that order is discussed. Furthermore, once the dynamic parameters of the vehicle system are determined, the portion of the denominator concerning modal parameters is fixed; therefore, modal vibration depends only on the numerator, i.e., the modal forces. Thus, by optimizing suspension component parameters, adjusting air spring positions, and performing wheel resurfacing, the optimization effects of these measures on modal forces and modal vibrations can be analyzed, focusing on reducing the modal forces that significantly contribute to vehicle vibration, thereby resolving the problem of vehicle body elastic resonance.
