Universidad de Zaragoza Simulation of Suspensions, Torsion Bars, and Fifth Wheel for Semitrailers Using Finite Elements 2013 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The objective of this paper is the simulation of some different types of elements for semitrailers, like the suspension, both mechanical with springs and pneumatic with a spring anddiapresses; other parts like the wheels, the torsion bars, the fifth wheel and the suspension of the tractor unit have also been simulated. Then, the numerical simplified FE model of these elements that allows simulating the real behavior of the suspension to apply adequately the boundary conditions of a heavy vehicle has been obtained for a structural simulation using numerical tools with a good accuracy of the local and global behavior of the vehicle. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/GEDiX/1828-2006 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.5 2013 THERMODYNAMICS 44 / 55 = 0.8 2013 Q4 T3 ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL 99 / 128 = 0.773 2013 Q4 T3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-8411-1247 Abad J.
