A general, time history driven servohydraulic test rig excitation (eventually combined with
a flatbelt test rig) is implemented as another 2D road type. If the ROAD_TYPE is set to
hydraulic_test_rig, COSIN/road searches and reads the following data items in the
[PARAMETERS] section:
Name of input variable |
Unit |
Meaning |
sampling_time |
time |
Assumed time increment of wheel support displacement values, if no separate
time channel is provided. |
flat_belt_velocity |
length/time |
Optional time span at beginning of simulation, during which an optional,
additional flatbelt device is accelerated from stand-still to nominal
speed. Default value is 0 (no additional flatbelt).
|
acceleration_time |
time |
Time span at beginning of dynamic simulation, to accelerate the flatbelt
device from stand-still to nominal velocity. Default value is 0.
|
The wheel support displacement (either purely in vertical (z) direction, or fully spatial
in x/y/z direction) is defined by one of the following alternatives:
Either:
data sub-section (Z_DATA) |
Arbitrarily many lines with a single value of type: length |
Values defining time-dependent vertical wheel support displacement values.
Time values are assumed to be equidistant, with increment defined by
sampling_time. |
Or:
data sub-section (XYZ_DATA) |
Arbitrarily many lines with 3 values each of type:3 x length |
Data triples defining x/y/z data of the time-dependent spatial wheel support
displacement. Time values are assumed to be equidistant, with increment defined by
sampling_time. |
Or
data sub-section (TZ_DATA) |
Arbitrarily many lines with 2 values each of type: time, length |
Data defining t and z data of the time-dependent spatial wheel support
displacement. Time values must be in ascending order. x and y displacements are
set to zero. |
Or:
data sub-section (TXYZ_DATA) |
Arbitrarily many lines with 4 values each of type:time, 3 x length |
Data defining t/x/y/z data of the time-dependent spatial wheel support
displacement. Time values must be in ascending order. |
Or:
data sub-section (TXYZV_DATA) |
Arbitrarily many lines with 5 values each of type:time, 3 x length,
length/time |
Data defining t/x/y/z data of the time-dependent spatial wheel support
displacement, and in addition velocity of the flatbelt device. Time values must be
in ascending order. |
