Abstract
- At present, the research on crashworthiness of locomotive mainly adopts the method of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and component test, it is too expensive and less repeatable to carry out vehicle crash tests. Therefore, a method to construct the collision equivalent scaled model (SM) for locomotive based on multi-parameter nondimensional is presented in this paper. Firstly, an equivalent method of structural dynamic responses was proposed. The extraction process and analysis method of dynamic responses for thin plate structures widely existing in locomotives were studied. Then, according to the structural characteristics of the locomotive, the partition equivalent design was carried out, and a dimensionless analysis model of impact dynamic responses for SM was established. Finally, the SM crash test was carried out to verify the effectiveness of collision equivalent SM established, it was found that the SM has high reliability, it can achieve equivalence with the locomotive for energy absorption, average impact force, average acceleration of cab and center of gravity of vehicle body. Carrying out the SM crash test can study the reasonable configuration of energy absorption parameters for locomotives and obtain the impact dynamic responses of locomotives under different configurations of energy absorption parameters.
