ŠKODA VÝZKUM s.r.o. cooperated on the development of the NEOPLAN DMA low-floor articulated trolleybus intended for the Boston city. Multibody models and finite element models of the trolleybus were utilized in the stage of the vehicle design. At the end of the stage of computer modelling and testing of the trolleybus prototype a decision to reduce tire inflating of vehicles in serial production (together with the change the type of shock absorbers used in trolleybus suspension) was made. The impact of this change on forces acting in the trolleybus suspension elements (i.e. in air springs and shock absorbers) and radius rods on the trolleybus chassis when running on an uneven test track was investigated using multibody simulations. Time histories of the forces calculated utilising multibody models were used as input data of the trolleybus finite element models. 1 Introduction Optimum dynamic properties of a vehicle intended for public transport can usually be achieved by the proper chassis structural design TI - Influence of tire inflating pressure at dynamic forces acting on articulated trolleybus JF - MATEC Web of Conferences DO - 10.1051/matecconf/201710700022 DA - 2017-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/influence-of-tire-inflating-pressure-at-dynamic-forces-acting-on-H0W9V1cQcr DP - DeepDyve ER -
