Abstract

This paper elaborates on the modal analysis and comparison of truck chassis frames made of composite materials (Carbon/Epoxy and E-glass/epoxy) and mild steel using the finite element method (FEM). All the specifications of the vehicle were taken from Bishoftu Automotive Industry, Ethiopia. Weight reduction has been achieved by 79.48% and 66.67% for carbon/epoxy and E-glass/epoxy respectively. The modal analysis shows that the first six natural frequencies of carbon/epoxy, E-glass/epoxy and mild steel are in the ranges from 56.8Hz to 134.8Hz, 27.22Hz to 64.59Hz and 31.97Hz to 75.88Hz respectively. The first two natural frequencies for carbon/epoxy and all-natural frequencies for E-glass epoxy and mild steel are in the engine excitation range. The main disturbance is due to the road excitation which ranges from 0 to 100 Hz, which is even greater than the engine excitation. Carbon/epoxy is the best candidate that some of its natural frequencies are above the engine and road excitations as compared to steel and E-glass epoxy chassis frames.

自卸车底盘框架复合材料与低碳钢模态分析与比较

本文采用有限元法对复合材料(碳/环氧树脂和e -玻璃/环氧树脂)和低碳钢制造的汽车底盘框架进行了模态分析和比较。车辆的所有规格均取自埃塞俄比亚Bishoftu汽车工业。碳/环氧树脂和e -玻璃/环氧树脂的减重效果分别为79.48%和66.67%。模态分析表明，碳/环氧树脂、e -玻璃/环氧树脂和低碳钢的前6个固有频率范围分别为56.8 ~ 134.8Hz、27.22 ~ 64.59Hz和31.97 ~ 75.88Hz。碳/环氧树脂的前两个固有频率和e -玻璃环氧树脂和低碳钢的全固有频率都在发动机激励范围内。主要的扰动来自于0 ~ 100hz范围内的路面激励，它甚至大于发动机的激励。碳/环氧树脂是最好的候选者，与钢和e -玻璃环氧树脂底盘框架相比，它的一些固有频率高于发动机和道路激励。
