In order to analyze air spring’s characteristic numerically, multi-step method is presented to establish its finite element model. In the model, air spring’s rubber bladder is described with approximation method, and the inside volume is calculated by means of discrete summation. The actual analysis results show that the model is practical.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
