  • Front Suspension Design for an Electric Delivery Vehicle
    Master’s Thesis 2019 30 ECTS Faculty of Science and Technology Front Suspension Design for an Electric Delivery Vehicle Fredrik Lie Larsen Mechanics and Process Technology FRONT SUSPENSION DESIGN FOR AN ELECTRIC DELIVERY VEHICLE Fredrik Lie Larsen Norwegian University of Life Sciences i Preface This master thesis will present the development process of the front suspension system for the Paxster Electric Delivery Vehicle. The development ranged from geometric suspension analysis and setup using Lotus Engineering Shark, to initial component design of the wishbone and steering mounting bracket using the selected geometry and off-the-shelf parts. The thesis was written in spring of 2019 and is the final part of the Mechanics and Process Technology master program at the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. The author’s motivation for writing this thesis is linked to my long-standing interest in vehicles and appreciation for the mechanical beauty of suspension systems. The thesis has also allowed me to work with the automotive industry, which has proved to be extremely educational and interesting. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to my master thesis counselor, Associate Professor Odd-Ivar Lekang for his valuable input during the writing process. Paxster AS and their lead mechanical engineer, Peer Toftner provided me with the thesis assignment, without their trust and their expertise this thesis would not exist, thank you. I would also like to express my appreciation to my fellow classmates for valuable discussions during the thesis and our studies as a whole. I would also like to thank friends and family for all the support and motivation they have provided.

Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ___________________________ Date INNOVATIVE FORMULA SAE SUSPENSION DESIGN 3 Abstract 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 is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract. Suspension system is one of the challenging portions in designing a vehicle. The complete stability of the vehicle under dynamic conditions depends on the suspension system of the vehicle. Suspension system of a vehicle is interlinked with other systems such as steering, Wheels and Brakes. The main objective of this document is to provide complete guidance in designing and calculation of an independent suspension system with double control arms. The required parameters are calculated on considering a prototype vehicle with gross weight of 350 kg such as required stiffness of shock absorbers, Ride frequency, Motion ratio, Coefficient of damping etc. A CADD model was made with CATIA v5 r20 and SOLIDWORKS on the basis of calculations obtained and stress analysis was carried out for this model in various software such as Ansys. The complete assembled model was tested in LOTUS Shark and the result was obtained.
