The Optimization of a Middle-Sized Passenger Car Steering Wheel Vibration at Idle Speed

Abstract:

In this paper, based on the study of steering wheel vibration problem of a middle-sized passenger car under idle condition, the reason is found out with the help of testing and analyzing, and the result shows that it is its first-order natural frequency, which is too close to the engine’s second-order frequency under idle condition that causes resonance. Through the optimization of the steering column system the problem is solved, and a satisfying result is obtained.
