Since the drawbar is only one part of the chassis of
7、 a caravan or light trailer, and as the chassis can be made of materials other than steel, or even be of composite construction, this Part of BS AU210 aims to set out requirements for the design of aluminium chassis for caravans and light trailers A British Standard does not purport to include all t
8、he necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii,
9、pages1 to8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BSAU210-2:1994 BSI 11-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of BS AU210 specifies: a) a procedur
10、e for determining the mechanical strength of drawbars for caravans and light trailers where the vertical static force on the coupling head is not less than245N and not greater than735N; b) requirements for the mechanical design of the chassis for caravans and light trailers. This standard applies to
11、 aluminium chassis of caravans and light trailers provided they are not of welded construction. It also covers the aluminium elements of chassis of composite construction, again provided the aluminium parts have not been welded. NOTEThe method for calculation of the mechanical strength of steel draw

26、awbar, taking into account distances l xand e xin order to determine the maximum strain rate. The strain rate shall be checked at the position where the maximum bending moment occurs when l = l xand e = e x . 5.2 The maximum bending moment M f(in Nmm) for the drawbar with e/l 0.15 and e x /l x 0.15
27、shall be calculated as follows. NOTEOnly flexure is taken into account for the calculation. Three bending moments M f , M fDand M fRshall be calculated and the largest value of the three shall be used for the calculation of the maximum admissible stress M fmax . For braked trailers: M f= 0.36 Pgl x
28、M fD= 0.8 De x M fR= 0.75 (M f+ M fD ) For unbraked trailers: M f= 0.24 Pgl x M fD= 1.0 De x M fR= 0.75 (M f+ M fD ) 5.4 The permissible stress rates B, calculated for the whole length of the drawbar, shall not exceed the allowed stress B bc(seeTable 2). where NOTEIt is assumed in this standard that
29、 aluminium sheet, plate or strip conforming to BS1470 or bars, extruded round tube or sections conforming to BS1474 are used. This does not prevent other, suitable and fit for purpose, aluminium alloys being used. The properties of some aluminium alloys are shown inTable 1 andTable 2. 6 Deflection c
30、alculation 6.1 The deflections d f , d fDand d fRshall be calculated, at the same time as the resistance calculation in clause5, as follows. For braked trailers: d fR= 0.75 (d f+ d fD ) For unbraked trailers: d fR= 0.75 (d f+ d fD ) The value shall not exceed that defined in6.2 NOTEBecause of the in
31、creased flexibility of aluminium compared to steel, it should not be taken for granted that the drawbar design is sufficiently stiff without performing a deflection calculation. 6.2 The permissible deflection d at the coupling device shall not exceed: to a maximum of25mm. 7 Fatigue Because of the co
32、nstraints on manufacture, all drawbars shall be considered to have type1 classification as defined in BS8118-1:1991. Using the curves inFigure 2, the fatigue life shall be predicted. NOTE I/V is the section modulus (in mm 3 ), of the drawbar cross section corresponding to the maximum bending moment.
33、 B min is the minimum stress, which is the lower numerical value of the stress in a stress cycle. B max is the maximum stress, which is the higher numerical value of the stress in a stress cycle. is the stress ratio, which is the ratio of the minimum to maximum stress in a stress cycle, tensile stre
34、ss being considered positive and compressive stress negative. When these points are plotted onFigure 2a) andFigure 2b), they always occur on the curve or in the area defined as “acceptable”. d l 70 - = min max -BSAU210-2:1994 BSI 11-1999 5 Table 2 Permissible stresses for aluminium alloys Alloy BS o

If, on the beating side, it is les
41、s than2 times the bolt diameter, the permissible beating strength shall be reduced as follows: where 8.1.3 Web stiffness The web stiffness shall be demonstrated by calculation as detailed in BS8118-1:1991, by test or both. 8.1.4 Bolt material Steel bolts conforming to BS EN24014:1992 and nuts to BS
42、EN24032:1992 shall be used. Both the bolts and nuts used shall be rendered corrosion resistant by zinc plating to BS3382-2:1961. Washers shall be provided under all bolt heads and nuts and these washers shall be zinc plated to BS1706:1990 Fe/Zn8 and passivated. The length of the unthreaded part of t
43、he bolt shall be such that as far as possible no part of the thread is within the thickness of the member The thread shall project beyond the nut by a minimum of two turns. A form of locking device shall be used. NOTEOther suitable anti-corrosion coatings may be used that adequately protect the join
44、ted parts against electrolytic corrosion. 8.2 Joints with steel or cast iron (see also8.3) For such composite joints, the steel or cast iron elements shall be either: a) zinc plated to BS1706:1990 Fe/Zn 8; or b) hot dip galvanized to BS729:1971; or c) painted with priming coat with an inhibiting pig
45、ment containing not less than20% by weight of zinc chromate or other approved chromate in a suitable water resisting vehicle. The priming coat shall not contain any copper or mercury compounds, graphite or carbonaceous materials, or lead; or d) separated by the use of a continuous membrane of non-re

47、ned and the environment dry and unpolluted, shall be painted. Timber in contact with aluminium shall not be treated with preservatives containing copper sulfate, zinc chloride or mercuric salts. NOTE 1Other preservatives may be used provided that it can be shown that the timber so treated is not har
48、mful to the aluminium. NOTE 2Oak, chestnut and western red cedar are likely to be harmful to aluminium particularly where there are through fastenings, unless the timber is well seasoned. 9 Chassis strength The chassis manufacturer shall demonstrate, either by test or by calculation, or both, that a
49、ll elements of the chassis are fit for their declared purpose with reference to BS8118:1991. 10 Joining of body to chassis The chassis manufacturer shall provide, in writing, instructions in respect of strength and fixing arrangements for the attachment of the caravan or light trailer body to the chassis. There shall be no fixing directly or indirectly through the top or bottom flanges of the drawbar at the foremost body fixing position. P BM is the modi
