Some Dynamic Behaviour Aspects Related to a Vehicle Suspension

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some of the aspects of the vehicle suspension limiting performances from stress and vibrations point of view have been explored in this study. The vehicle is modeled as two DOF system and the suspension is considered a passive one. 3D CATIA model was built for both the spring and spring-damper ensemble, neglecting the tire influence. This can reasonably covers the studies of geometries and forces (bending or tensile stress), masses and stiffnesses (meaning vibration profiles). The theoretical analysis on the vibration behaviour of the spring-damper ensemble, regarded as the vehicle suspension, suggests a convenient operation regime at low frequencies below 15 Hz, if the damper piston displacement is limited.
