Abstract

In many cases of predicting the stress of a vehicle-body or assembled components in rough road running tests, it is necessary to consider dynamic behavior. This paper presents a method to simulate the behavior of a fuel tank, one of such components, considering the fuel fluid by the virtual mass method and to predict the dynamic stress on the fuel tank with the vehicle-body.
