This book was released on 2019 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis details an analytical approach to an innovative suspension system design for implementation to the Formula SAE collegiate competition. It focuses specifically on design relating to geometry, mathematical modeling, energy element relationships, and computer analysis and simulation to visualize system behavior. The bond graph approach is utilized for a quarter car model to facilitate understanding of the analytical process, then applied to a comparative analysis between two transverse half car models. The second half car model contains an additional transverse linkage with a third damper, and is compared against the baseline of the first half car model without the additional linkage. The transverse third damper is an innovative design said to improve straight-line tire contact during single-sided disturbance, help mitigate the adverse effects of squat and dive, while not inhibiting the function of the anti-roll bar in cornering capability. Additional work is done investigating an optimization of suspension geometry through mathematical modeling in MATLAB of a four-bar linkage system. This code helps visualize the complex motion of the upright and calculates the wheel camber rate and variation to compare against tire data analysis to match maximum tire performance characteristics with camber angle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suspension system of a FSAE (Formula Society of Automotive Engineers) vehicle is a vital system with many functions that include providing vertical compliance so the wheels can follow the uneven road, maintaining the wheels in the proper steer and camber attitudes to the road surface and reacting to the control forces produced by the tires (acceleration, braking and cornering). The members that comprise the suspension are subjected to a variety of dynamic loading conditions – it is imperative that they are designed properly to ensure the safety and performance of the vehicle. The goal of this research is to develop a model for predicting the reaction forces in the suspension members based on the expected load scenarios the vehicle will undergo. This model is compared to the current FSAE vehicle system and the design process is explained. The limitations of this model are explored and future methodologies and improvement techniques are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report aims to explain the full design and analysis of the front upright -the car component which links suspension wishbones and steering bar with wheels- of the TAU Racing's 2012 car. The first step is to find the worst load case that might affect the upright. Due to the fact that the study only covers the front ones, the worst load case occurs when the car is cornering and braking at the same time (load transfer effect). Once the loads are studied, the next step is to design the upright and all the components involved in the assembly which will link the wishbones and the wheels. The first problem appears in this point because there is not enough space for all the components. A little change in the suspension geometry (increase of the scrub radius length), solves the problem. The next step is to carry out the bearings life calculations and the finite element analysis (stress and displacements). The results are correct but, after showing to the team leaders the design, another problem appears: the assembly is heavier than expected. The solution agreed is to reduce the bearings size which affects all the assembly. Therefore, another full design is suggested. The bearings life is calculated and the finite element analysis is carried out once again. This time the results are worse: the bearings life is short but, since the competition only lasts a weekend, it is accepted; and the upright has a factor of safety lesser than expected. Hence the last step is an optimization of the upright and, as a result, the factor of safety increases above the minimum required. The overall weight is reduced in almost 20%, twice as much the team goal.

Book excerpt: In 2006, a small unavailing university auto racing team began building a racecar that would challenge the best engineering schools in the world. With fewer people and resources than any of the top competitors, the only way they were going to win was to push the limit, go for broke, and hope for more than a little luck. By the time they got to the racetrack, they knew: In the fog of fierce competition, whether you win or lose, you learn the hardest lessons about engineering, teamwork, friendship, and yourself.

Download or read book The Shock Absorber Handbook written by John C. Dixon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every one of the many millions of cars manufactured annually worldwide uses shock absorbers, otherwise known as dampers. These form a vital part of the suspension system of any vehicle, essential for optimizing road holding, performance and safety. This, the second edition of the Shock Absorber Handbook (first edition published in 1999), remains the only English language book devoted to the subject. Comprehensive coverage of design, testing, installation and use of the damper has led to the book's acceptance as the authoritative text on the automotive applications of shock absorbers. In this second edition, the author presents a thorough revision of his book to bring it completely up to date. There are numerous detail improvements, and extensive new material has been added particularly on the many varieties of valve design in the conventional hydraulic damper, and on modern developments such as electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers. "The Shock Absorber Handbook, 2nd Edition" provides a thorough treatment of the issues surrounding the design and selection of shock absorbers. It is an invaluable handbook for those working in industry, as well as a principal reference text for students of mechanical and automotive engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing suspension geometry design methods in unique detail, John Dixon shows how suspension properties such as bump steer, roll steer, bump camber, compliance steer and roll centres are analysed and controlled by the professional engineer. He emphasizes the physical understanding of suspension parameters in three dimensions and methods of their calculation, using examples, programs and discussion of computational problems. The analytical and design approach taken is a combination of qualitative explanation, for physical understanding, with algebraic analysis of linear and non-linear coefficients, and detailed discussion of computer simulations and related programming methods. Includes a detailed and comprehensive history of suspension and steering system design, fully illustrated with a wealth of diagrams Explains suspension characteristics and suspension geometry coefficients, providing a unique and in-depth understanding of suspension design not found elsewhere. Describes how to obtain desired coefficients and the limitations of particular suspension types, with essential information for suspension designers, chassis technicians and anyone else with an interest in suspension characteristics and vehicle dynamics. Discusses the use of computers in suspension geometry analysis, with programming techniques and examples of suspension solution, including advanced discussion of three-dimensional computational geometry applied to suspension design. Explains in detail the direct and iterative solutions of suspension geometry.
