FEM modelling of contact interaction between wheel and supporting

Abstract

Modelling of contact interaction of wheel and the supporting surface is an important problem for the vehicle design. Paper considers the option of modelling the wheel, as well as methods of processing the calculation results of the dynamic contact interaction for the main evaluation parameters. A version of simulation cord and breaker of the shell element is proposed. The adequacy and effectiveness of the proposed method of processing the results of contact interaction of the wheel and the bearing surface are shown.
