load identification
Why do we have problems to acquire representative loads?
production vehicle development:
standard scenarios:
- vehicle crash due to EuroNCAP: velocity v = compulsory
barrier = compulsory
post processing = standardized
regulations,
laws
based on
empiric studies
fictitious values
bottom-factor
motorsport:
no standard scenarios:
- comparison to preceding model
too late!
- analysis of occurred damage
no large-scale test series, were driving in prototypes.
risk: total failure, injury to persons
04.11.2009; Dirk Bordiehn,
Katja Fritzsch
we have to
- find reasonable and ample
load assumptions
- make robust predictions
MBD model
The MBD-model is based on submodels:
spring/damper
front axle:
suspension FA, damper FA, spring FA, steering FA, power train FA
rear axle:
chassis:
road:
payload:
tire model

simulation
Simulations of several sculptured cuvettes show promising flat spots in wheel travel,
but car jumps too high, too long and too soon.
Reason is, that the real bump stop has both, elastic and damping properties ( FBS,test = f(z, ) )
it absorbs energy.
The bump stop in the simulation is only stiffness (FBS,sim = f(z) ) and stores energy.
Bump stop characteristics are very important, but they are unfortunately not known.
