Strength analysis of capacitor energy storage cabinet of monorail elevated train

Abstract

Based on the actual parameters of the capacitor energy storage cabinet on the top of the monorail train, built the cabinet’s finite element model. Then, according to EN 12663-1, set the calibration conditions and fatigue working conditions. Carried out the simulation calculation under different conditions, respectively. The calculation results under the static calibration conditions show that the maximum equivalent stress of each node on the model is smaller than the allowable stress under all working conditions. Therefore, the static strength of the cabinet meets the design requirements. Plotted Goodman fatigue limit diagrams of the cabinet’s base metal and weld and modified them in the Smith form. Then plotted the average stress and stress amplitude under fatigue working conditions in the corresponding scatter diagram. The diagram s show that all points are located within the permitted area. The results show that the fatigue strength of the cabinet meets the requirements of design and use.
