Finite Element Quarter Vehicle Suspension Model under Periodic Bump and Sinusoidal Road Excitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper studies the behavior of a quarter-car suspension model under periodic road excitation: sinusoidal and bump (trapezoidal shape) for a constant vehicle speed. A theoretical and a finite element model were developed. The theoretical model has two degrees of freedom and a modal and sinusoidal excitation was performed to compare with finite model analysis. The finite element analysis consists of three parts: preload, modal analysis and deterministic external excitation. The study consists of the analysis of forces, displacements and accelerations that are transmitted to the vehicle regarding their variation in time and frequency.
