Analysis of New Materials in Automotive Construction in Term of the Vibration Properties

Abstract

The paper presented discussion on new materials in automotive construction in term of the vibration properties. Some application of simulation and numerical methods for analysis of new material properties in dynamic research of vehicle systems has been presented. The main object of the research was the analysis of influence of new materials used for automotive production on vibration generation, propagation and isolation. In the presented study, as the structural material for toothed flexsplines of harmonic drivers, a composite material based on an epoxy resin matrix reinforced with glass or carbon fibres was used. A preliminary numerical analysis of the material and structural solutions for the harmonic driver flexsplines assumed to be applied was conducted. It was presented possibilities of simulation research for purpose of comparison of different materials for chosen systems of vehicle.

Possibilities of Using Vibration Signals for the Identification of Pressure Level in Tires with Application of Neural Networks Classification

“…The vibroacoustics methods are more often used in many of research [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. For the analytical experiment on of neural networks application in the identification of tires pressure level the vibration signals were used.…”

The Structure and Characteristics of Tribological Systems with Diamond Like Carbon Coatings under Ionic Liquid Lubrication Conditions

“…The lifetime of contact surfaces is for the most part determined by their resistance to wear [1]. Durability and reliability of tribological systems in service can be enhanced by selecting adequate materials [2] and by coating the working elements with anti-wear films adapted to particular working conditions.…”

Comparison of Characteristics of the Components Used in Mechanical and Non-Conventional Automotive Suspensions

“…Because of the constant characteristics of spring and damping components they are not able to cope with the increasingly sophisticated demands of automotive suspensions. The use of non-conventional suspension such as hydropneumatic suspension can eliminate some of the disadvantages of conventional suspensions [5,6].…”

“…In the case of the damping characteristics of hydropneumatic column (citroen BX) it was designated in common with the gas spring on the indicator test stand-figure 7 [3,4,5].…”
