A Study on Conventional versus Independent Suspension System of an Automobile

Abstract:

the suspension system of an automobile helps to support the car body, engine and passengers, and at the same time absorbs shocks received from the ground while vehicle moves on rough roads. There are two types of suspension systems which are being used in the automobiles, namely, conventional suspension system and independent suspension system. in this paper it is aimed at studying the dynamic behaviour of the two types of suspension systems, using full car model.
