Model Based Algorithm for the Study of the Vehicle Suspension

Article Preview

Abstract:

The design of a vehicle suspension system starts with very few input parameters. Simple models are used during initial simulations in order to ensure the desired compromise between comfort and dynamic performance qualities, at different vehicle speeds and loads. That stage leads to the setup of the needed suspension parameters on the model, mainly the stiffness of the suspension springs and tires and the damping coefficient.In an algorithmic way, this paper summarizes design recommendations existing in the field of vehicle suspensions. Based on the procedure in this article, a computer program was implemented in the software MDesign.
