Reverse Analysis for Determining the Stiffness Characteristics of Suspension Spring with Variable Pitch and Wire Diameter

Abstract:

A reverse analysis method for determining the stiffness characteristics of nonlinear suspension spring with variable pitch and wire diameter is developed by introducing the ideas of dispersion. Meanwhile, the reverse analysis of a nonlinear suspension spring used in truck is completed as an example, and the progressive force-displacement curves obtained by theoretical and experimental analysis are compared in order to verify the validity of the reverse analysis method used for nonlinear suspension spring.
