Fluid structure interaction for circulation valve of hydraulic shock absorber

Based on the working principle and the damping characteristic of hydraulic shock absorber, a fluid structure interaction method was presented, which was used to analyze the microcosmic and high-frequency processing mechanism of fluid structure interaction between circulation valve and liquid of hydraulic shock absorber. The fluid mesh distortion was controlled by the CEL language, and the fluid struc^tre interaction mathematical model was established. The finite element model was established by ANSYS CFX software and was analyzed by dynamic mesh technique. The local sensitive computational area was meshed by prismatic grid, which could reduce the negative volume problem during the simulation. The circulation valve and liquid of hydraulic shock absorber were simulated and analyzed under the condition of sinusoidal inlet velocity loads. Flow characteristic and dynamics characteristic were obtained. The pressure distribution and the displacement of circulation value were obtained, and the acceleration curve of circulation valve was simulated and analyzed. The conformity of the final simulation results with the experimental datum indicates that this method is accurate and reliable to analyze the dynamics characteristic between circulation valve and liquid of hydraulic shock absorber, which can provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing hydraulic shock absorber in the future.

ANALYSIS OF THE DEFLECTION OF REEDS IN AUTOMOTIVE HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBERS

The deformation of reeds in automotive hydraulic shock absorbers is analyzed with the finite element method. Combination of different thick reeds mounted on different supports is studied. The computational results show that deformation of the overlapped reeds is not always equal to the sum of deflection of single reed under any conditions. Experimental results prove computational results to be correct and computational method effective. The method of analysis and view of point can provide reference to the design and manufacture of hydraulic shock absorbers using reeds.

Modeling and simulation of twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber thermodynamic characteristics and sensitivity analysis of its influencing factors

In order to find out the sensitivity of the thermophysical and structural parameters to the thermodynamic characteristics of twin-tube hydraulic shock absorbers,based on the bench test,a method for calculating the time-varying rate of the external work on the shock absorber oil is proposed.And then,a thermodynamic model of the twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber is established by using the basic thermodynamic principles.By analyzing the influence of each parameter on the thermodynamic characteristics of the shock absorber,it can be seen that,the radius of the working cylinder outer wall has the greatest influence on the temperature rise of the shock absorber,followed by the thermal conductivity of the oil,the height of the oil,the heat transfer length of the cylinder barrel,the radius of the oil storage cylinder outer wall,the emissivity of the oil storage cylinder outer wall,the height of the nitrogen,the thermal conductivity of the nitrogen,the specific heat capacity of the oil,the density of the oil,the thermal conductivity of the cylinder,and the mass of the working oil.The kinematic viscosity of the oil has the least influence on the temperature rise of the shock absorber.The research can provide an effective theoretical guidance and reference for the design of the twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber.
