Dynamic Stress Analysis of Flexible Multibody using DADS

DADS를 이용한 유연 다물체의 동응력 해석

A great deal of time and effort are required to evaluate the safety and durability of a vehicle structure in the vehicle development stage. It is difficult to find the reasons for cracks which occur in the body and frame of a vehicle during tests. Recently computer aided engineering techniques have been utilized to solve the problems of safety and durability of vehicles. In this study, a dynamic stress analysis is performed on the frame of the vehicle by rigid and flexible multibody dynamics techniques. The result of the analysis is compared to that of the actual test. The full vehicle dynamic models for the rigid and flexible bodies are developed by DADS package. The modal coordinate system is used to save time for the dynamic stress analysis. The flexible multibody dynamic models have 12 normal modes considering the flexibility of the frame. Dynamic stresses arc calculated by relating the stress influence coefficients and the applied forces.
