Vibration response analysis of hydraulic pipeline based on finite element method.

The oil pipeline is a critical component that influences the vibration and noise levels of the hydraulic system. Inadequate design may result in resonance or leakage issues, rendering it susceptible to external vibration excitation. To enhance the reliability of the hydraulic pipeline, simulations and analyses were conducted on its modal, harmonic response, and fatigue characteristics. Based on the results of harmonic response analysis and strength analysis, an effective reinforcement scheme was proposed and validated. By inputting the acceleration load to the pipeline system for frequency response analysis, the influence of different excitation forces on the pipeline stress can be determined. The findings indicate that pipeline vibration primarily occurs in the outlet pipe of the transmission, with significant stress and vibration displacement observed at the thermostat valve support. Following structural improvements, there was a notable reduction in stress levels at the transmission outlet pipe, along with a shift in maximum stress position due to additional support. This enhancement has improved both structural stiffness of the outlet pipe and overall stability of the pipeline system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
