Abstract

Pro-E and Ansys software are used for solid modeling of a single-bellows air spring, finite-element processing methods for this model are discussed, and the meshing usability is validated. Using Ansys software, we solve various orders of natural frequencies of a single-bellows air spring are solved at initial inflation pressures of0. 2, 0. 3 and 0. 4 MPa, Accordingly, the natural frequency of an air spring when operated can be regulated by adjusting its initial inflation, so as to make full use of air spring properties for engineering applications.
