Simulation Research on the Performance of Vehicle Suspension System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Simulation study of the quarter car model was carried out in this paper. The influence of the stiffness of the suspension spring and the damping on the performance of vehicle suspension system was analyzed by the evaluation indexes: transfer function of body acceleration, transfer function of suspension dynamic stroke, transfer function of tire dynamic deflection. The simulation results shown that increasing the stiffness of the suspension spring would reduce the vehicle's ride comfort and increase the value of the first natural frequency of the sprung mass. And increasing the damping would reduce the peak response of the body acceleration which increasing the vehicle's ride comfort, but at the cost of increasing the high frequency vibration.
