Structural Performance of Subway Aluminum Alloy Car Body Analyzed by Abaqus Software

Abstract

In accordance with the structural performance shortages of the lightweight subway, the verification of the strength and stiffness of subway vehicles is proposed. Then the load combination conditions are divided into 9 operating conditions based on EN12663-2010. With the aid of Abaqus software, the strength and stiffness are judged whether it is qualified. The experimental results show that the aluminum alloy car body structure of Shanghai Line 16 can meet EN12663 and TB/T1335. In this paper, it provides a verification process for the reliability of the strength and stiffness of subway aluminum alloy car body.
