Modeling and analysis of solid axle suspension and its impact on the heavy vehicles stability

Anais do IX Congresso Nacional de Engenharia Mecânica, 2016

The stability of heavy vehicles and the factors that can affect or improve it are studied. The leaf spring or rigid suspension is the oldest automotive suspension and continues to be a popularly used option for heavy vehicles. Although simple in appearance, this type of suspension causes many problems in modeling, due to the efforts and movements that occur. Taking these aspects into account, this paper presents a model of rigid suspension using mechanism theory and subsequent kinematic analysis using the Davies's method. This model is used to evaluate the influence of this type of suspension in the heavy vehicles stability. The proposed model is two-dimension, with two degrees-of-freedom, and allows relative motion between the sprung and unsprung masses of the vehicle, which is important in vehicle stability studies. This movement is detailed through a case study, in which the position of the vehicle's center of gravity changes due to the suspension's effect, affecting the vehicle's stability factor. This factor allows us to predict how stable a vehicle is when taking a curve and how its dynamic performance could be when making a determined route, which allows to improve road safety.

Damping of roll vibration of vehicle suspension

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2014

ABSTRACT Small forced vibrations of an axle model of independent suspensions having four degrees of freedom are studied. The exact analytical solution of the generalized Lagrange equation enables one to produce 3D plots of the normalized amplitudes of forced vibrations versus frequency and excitation ratio or phase difference of the road inputs. The analysis of these plots exhibits some deficiency in damping of roll vibrations of conventional vehicle suspensions. The possibilities of improvement are discussed.

Vibration Analysis of Damping Suspension Using Car Models

International Journal of Innovation and Scientific Research, 2014

This paper gives an insight on the suspension dynamics of the two most widely used models for vehicle dynamics with their complete state space analysis, simulated by using Mat Lab platform. In this paper we investigate the responses of the quarter car and a half car model as the vehicle ride performance is generally assessed at the design stage by simulating the vehicle response to road excitation. This requires the development of a vehicle model to analysis its responses. The time responses and frequency responses of the sprung and unsprung masses have been studied. The optimal solution here is the damping, which has been optimized with the given set of fixed parameters.

Analysis of semi-active suspension systems for four-axles off-road vehicle using half model (2009)

International Journal of Vehicle …, 2009

Handling and ride quality are affected by many factors, including high-frequency vibrations, body booming, body roll and pitch motion, vertical motion by the suspension system and frequency vibration transmitted from the road input excitations. This article focuses on the most significant vibration source that affects handling and ride quality, which is the suspension system. Passive suspension has been taken as the starting point of this work, in which we discuss the model in context. Semi-active suspension systems are introduced with the aim of exploring the performance of the system compared with passive suspension. Several control policies of semi-active systems, namely, skyhook, ground-hook and hybrid controls, are presented. Their ride comfort, suspension displacement and roadholding performances are analysed and compared with passive systems. The analysis covers both transient and steady-state responses in the time domain and transmissibility response in the frequency domain. The results show that the hybrid control policy yields better comfort than a passive suspension, without reducing the road-holding quality or increasing the suspension displacement for a typical off-road vehicle. The hybrid control policy is also shown to provide a better compromise between comfort, road-holding and suspension displacement than the skyhook and ground-hook control policies Keywords: four-axle half-vehicles; groundhook; hybrid; off-road vehicles; passive suspension; ride comfort; semi-active control; skyhook; semi-active suspension; vehicle suspensions; vehicle vibration; suspension displacement; road-holding performance; hybrid control

Modelling and simulation of motor vehicle suspension system

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021

In this work, using a quarter-car model was adopted, the equations of motion were derived for a passive and then the sky-hook semi-active suspension systems. The derived differential equations, solved using the Dormand-Prince pair numerical formula, was then used to simulate values of displacements as affected by damping coefficients and the sky-hook constant. The simulated results showed that the maximum amplitude of the sprung mass, which is linked to ride discomfort, increases while those of unsprung masses, which affects the road holding ability, decreases with increasing depth of pothole. Furthermore, displacements for both sprung and unsprung masses varied directly with damping coefficient. Finally, as the sky-hook constant of the semi active system model increases, values of amplitudes of unsprung masses decreases while those of sprung masses increases. It was, thus, shown that the vertical displacements of vehicle bodies and wheels are dependent on the depth of potholes, dam...

The behaviour of a vehicle’s suspension system on dynamic testing conditions

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018

The paper presents a car suspension's behaviour on dynamic testing conditions through theoretical and mathematical simulation on specific model, on the single traction wheel, according to the real vehicle and by experiment on the test bench by reproducing the road's geometry and vehicle's speed and measuring the acceleration and damping response of the suspension system on that wheel. There are taking in consideration also the geometry and properties of the tyre-wheel model and physical wheel's properties. The results are important due to the suspension's model properties which allows to extend the theory and applications to the whole vehicle for improving the vehicle's dynamics.

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of Tire-Vehicle Suspension System Using Matlab

The aim of this paper is to introduce the mathematical modeling of a tire-vehicle suspension system for a quarter car model. This paper discusses the 2-DOF system as a quarter car model with base excitation. To study the system, first derive the dynamic equations of the vehicle model. The Laplace transform approach is selected with assumption that the displacement of the base is a half-sine wave. To analyse the responses, a interactive system MATLAB ® is used. The simulation results shows that a two degree-of-freedom system with appropriately chosen parameters can be an effective isolator of ground vibrations compared to a single degree-of-freedom system.
