Numerical simulation of thermal loads of the truck’s power train mounting system due to vibrations

Dynamic simulation based on modelling has a significant role during a vehicle development process. It is especially important in the first design stages, when relevant parameters are to be defined.

Description
Summary:Dynamic simulation based on modelling has a significant role during a vehicle development process. It is especially important in the first design stages, when relevant parameters are to be defined. Power train mounting system is exposed to thermal loads which can lead to damage and degradation of its characteristics. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse conversion of mechanical work into heat energy in power train mounting system using a method of dynamic simulation. Considering the presence of classic–mechanical and hydraulic power train mounting systems in modern trucks, analysis of power train mounting thermal loads of FAP 1213 vehicle was conducted. Thermal loads of vehicle power train mounts were calculated by dynamic simulation, while their cooling process was not analysed.
