摘要
This paper describes a numerical solution to characterize the deformation of a bellows-type air spring for automotive suspensions. In a first step, the shell structure is modeled as a practically inextensible membrane that has virtually no bending stiffness; the structure has only a pneumatic-elastic deformation due to the compressibility of the pressurized air. In a second step, a finite element modeling of the device using a commercial code is carried out in order to validate the first model. Complementing this work, an experimental procedure based on a pseudo-dynamic technique was implemented to simulate the behavior of the pneumatic suspension bellows subjected to dynamic loads. The method consists of a combined numeric/experimental procedure simulating a suddenly applied load.
