A Study of Light Truck Cab Elasticity Impact on Ride Comfort
نویسنده
چکیده
Taking a light truck for study, using finite element method and virtual prototyping technology to establish a vehicle’s rigid model and rigid-flexible coupling model considered cab elasticity. On a random road with cab suspension of rubber and semi-floating we made a simulation analysis on vehicle ride comfort, taking into account acceleration power spectral density and weighted acceleration rms of cab elastic effect on driver's seat pan, and in accordance with relevant standards, both models were analyzed for comparison. The results showing that cab elastic has a certain influence on vehicle ride comfort, this will provide references for further study as well as vehicle cab design.

متن کاملImpact of idling on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions and available idle-reduction technologies for diesel vehicles – A review
In order to maintain cab comfort truck drivers have to idle their engine to obtain the required power for accessories, such as the air conditioner, heater, television, refrigerator, and lights. This idling of the engine has a major impact on its fuel consumption and exhaust emission. Idling emissions can be as high as 86.4 g/h, 16,500 g/h, 5130 g/h, 4 g/h, and 375 g/h for HC, CO2, CO, PM, and N...
