The invention provides a multi-axle vehicle
axle load calculation method and device based on
finite element simulation, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle design, a vehicle structure model comprising a frame, an axle housing, a suspension support and other components is established, and the components are assembled through rigid connection. Then, a suspension
system model comprising a front spring, a rear spring and a tire spring is established, and corresponding rigidity and material attributes are set; by establishing a center-of-
mass connection point of a cab, a power
assembly and goods and applying corresponding
mass, the degree of freedom of a tire spring grounding point is restrained, and
gravitational acceleration is applied. And finally, carrying out
static analysis on the model after grid division, and calculating to obtain the
axle load of each axle by extracting the Z-direction counter-acting force at the tire spring constraint position. According to the method, the complex structure and
load distribution of the multi-axle vehicle are simulated, and the
axle load calculation precision is improved; reliable
load distribution data are provided for the vehicle
design stage, and the suspension and frame design is optimized.
