Method for applying vehicle driving cycles to assess the durability of electromechanical transmissions of trucks

Abstract

The article discusses the relevance of the problem of calculating the elements of electromechanical transmissions of trucks for strength and durability. The main methods used for the formation of load conditions on electromechanical transmissions of trucks are given. The driving cycles of trucks used to obtain loads when calculating the durability of the elements of electromechanical transmissions are given. The universal driving cycles of vehicles obtained on the basis of the collection of statistical data on the movement of trucks are considered. A simulation model of the movement of a truck used to determine the loads on the electromechanical transmission while overcoming driving cycles of trucks is presented. The durability of the gears of the electromechanical transmission of a truck is analyzed on the basis of load cyclograms obtained during simulation modeling of movement. Numerical results of the safety factors of one of the gear stages are obtained. Conclusions are drawn about the optimality of the use of existing driving cycles of trucks in strength calculations. Conclusions are worded about the need to synthesize driving cycles of trucks based on the collection of statistical data on the movement of truck vehicles on the territory of the region under consideration.
