axle analysis boundary conditions
axle analysis boundary conditions
(OP)
Hi,
I am analyzing a solid axle of a vehicle using ansys. I simply apply the weight of the vehicle over the pads on which leaf springs sit. I also apply cylindrical joints at the tips of the axle. I fix all of the tangent, radial and axial components at one side and I set axial component free at the otherside to avoid a hyperstatical structure. But I was not satisfied and tried fixing all components at both sides and eventually got a little more safer result. So, which model is more realistic, any suggestions?
