Abstract:

The heat exchange effect of internal compressed air leads to strong thermal hysteresis and frequency correlation of air springs’ mechanical properties. Therefore, a thermal hysteresis equivalent mechanical model is constructed to describe the energy exchange process of compressed air inside air springs in this paper. Based on the rubber airbag modal, an air spring hysteresis mechanical characteristic model covering both rubber airbag hysteresis and compressed air thermal hysteresis is constructed, and an identification method for the key parameters of the model is provided. The experiments show that the maximum errors of the hysteresis loop and dynamic stiffness are less than 3.3% and 6.7%, respectively, verifying the accuracy of the hysteresis mechanical characteristic model. Finally, the inherent law of the thermal hysteresis of compressed air with frequency varying is revealed. The research results provide theoretical support for identifying the hysteresis nonlinear mechanism of air springs and its effective utilization.
