Abstract
High performance computing promotes the solution of large mathematical models of complex mechanical systems and lays a foundation for the theoretical analysis of complicated and difficult problems in the mechanical field. At the same time, the high reliability transmission of wireless data makes it possible for a variety of motion state mechanical systems to measure and control. In this paper, we present the energy loss model of the wet axle transmission system based on bond graph theory, and obtain the heat source boundary condition of the thermal analysis of the wet axle by calculating the mathematical model of the energy loss. Moreover, thermal network method is proposed to analysis heat accumulation and disequilibrium of multistage closed wet axle, by analyzing heat source distribution and heat transfer characteristics among machine elements, oil and air, finally the mathematic model of thermal analysis is established. The thermal numerical calculation of the thermal network for the complex mechanical system and the verification of the whole vehicle test for the results of the thermal calculation have been realized, then thermal optimization is done for wet axle heat equilibrium. Theory and experiment results indicate that heat accumulation in wet hub and heat disequilibrium of different parts are severe especially under efficient operating condition; thermal network calculation and optimization results verified by real vehicle experiment are true and valid. The research proves that high performance computer and high reliable wireless data transmission technology have promoted the optimization design of complex mechanical system.
