An Analysis of Idling Vibration for a Frame Structured

Vehicle

ABSTRACT

A finite element model for an entire frame-structured sports utility vehicle was made to evaluate the characteristics of the idling vibrations for the vehicle. The engine exciting forces were determined by Souma's method to simulate the idling vibrations. The modeling of the power plant and the entire vehicle was verified by the reasonable agreement of the experiment and calculation results. Attention was focused on the frequency of the first-order vertical bending mode for the frame. It has become clear that the idling vibration level of the vehicle is lowered by decreasing the frequency of the first-order frame bending mode. INTRODUCTION

One of the defects of a diesel vehicle, which has fuel and economical efficiency, is idling vibration for a vehicle body. In a diesel engine, sharp pressure rise caused by the generation of the thermal energy affects the pistons. In the crank system, which converts the linear motion into the rotary motion, two types of reaction forces excite the engine block: the reaction caused by the alternation of the velocity vector in each moving parts, and by the non-uniform rotary motion generated by the finite number of cylinders. The forces transmit to an engine block, an engine foot, a rubber engine mount, a frame, a rubber cab-mount, and then a vehicle body, which make occupants uncomfortable.

The idling vibration for large-sized commercial vehicles was estimated at the early development stage, and the measures against the vibration were taken by simulating the engine exciting forces with Souma…s method,and entering them to a vehicle model.

In this paper, the idling vibration was determined by entering the engine exciting forces to the vehicle model, which was made of the finite element of the frame and the body for a small-sized recreational vehicle (RV). Also in this paper, how the natural modes for the frame changes in the vehicle condition is analyzed, and it was indicated that the natural frequency of the first-order vertical bending for the frame had a significant effect. ANALYSIS OF THE VEHICLE BODY VIBRATION

Figure 1 shows the results of analyzing the frequencies of the acceleration in vertical vibration generated on the seat rail while idling in small-sized RV powered by 4-cylinder diesel engine. The main part of the idling vibration is the second-order engine rotation. The 0.5th, 1st, and 1.5th -orders are also critical. However, these orders are caused by the varied combustion between cylinders. A measure against the varied combustion can be expected by improving the injection system. In this research, only 24Hz of the second-order at the idling rotation speed of 720rpm is focused on as a measure in the vehicle structure. Besides, a measure for lowering the vibration is studied because the vertical vibration on seats has a great damaging effect on human sense.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE ENGINE EXCITING FORCE

There are three paths for the engine to excite vibration to a vehicle body: through an engine mount, a driving system, and a tail pipe. In this paper, the path through an engine mount, which has a greatest effect, is studied. The various types of methods to identify the exciting force through an engine mount are known. In this paper, Souma‟s method is used. OUTLINE OF SOUMA’S METHOD

The cause of the exciting force to an engine block in the controversial frequency domain of the idling vibration is considered. First, the combustion pressure that acts on the pistons is considered to cause the vibration. However, assuming that a piston crankshaft does not move with a flywheel and an engine block fixed in some way, the engine components are supposed to be completely rigid in this frequency domain. In this situation, the engine block will not vibrate if the piston crankshaft does not move in spite of the rapid pressure rise in a combustion chamber due to the diesel combustion.

Accordingly, the direct cause of the engine block vibration is not the combustion pressure but the reaction against the piston crankshaft movement. To determine the exciting force to the engine block, the reaction forces against the movement of the mass (mainly in crank system and piston system), which works inside and outside of the engine block, may be calculated.

In So uma‟s method, the non-uniform rotary motion in the crank system is found by measuring the pulse generated in a ring gear of the flywheel. Then, the vertical motion in the connected piston system is calculated to determine the exciting force to the engine block using each mass specification value.
