    The Study for Anti-Rollover Performance Based on Fishhook

    3rd International Conference on Material, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (IC3ME 2015) The Study For Anti-Rollover Performance Based On Fishhook and J Turn Simulation Fei Xiong1,a, Fengchong Lan1,b, Jiqing Chen1,c*,Yunjiao Zhou1,d 1 South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected] Keywords: Fishhook test, J-turn test, Tire vertical force, Anti-roll bar、HCG Abstract. SUV (Sport UtilityVehicle, SUV) HCG (Height of Center Gravity) is higher, relatively low rollover stability, higher rollover accident rate has become an important issue for cars safety. In this paper, Firstly, four-DOF kinematics theoretical vehicle model was established，then combined with a SUV development and design work and built a complete multi-body dynamics model in ADAMS / Car. Based on steady state constant radius handling case and transient sine-swept handling case, the dynamic model was calibrated and corelated to handling test results. At last, to launch a study for the anti rollover performance based on fishook and J Turn simulation, respectively analyzed how front and rear anti-roll bar 、the CGH contribute to the anti-rollover performance of a vehicle, this study is benefcial to the development process of suspension and the design for anti-roll performance of whole vhicle,so it has very important significance. Introduction The National Highway Traffic safety administration (National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration, NHTSA) statistics show that in 2011, caused by the vehicle rollover accidents accounted for only 2.1% of the total Traffic accident, but the deaths of 7382 people, accounting for 34.7% of the total Traffic accident death toll.

    Adaption and Evaluation of Transversal Leaf Spring Suspension Design for a Lightweight Vehicle Using Adams /C Ar

    ADAPTION AND EVALUATION OF TRANSVERSAL LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION DESIGN FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLE USING ADAMS /C AR FLORIAN CHRIST Master Thesis in Vehicle Engineering Vehicle Dynamics Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering Royal Institute of Technology TRITA-AVE 2015:09 ISSN 1651-7660 Adaption and Evaluation of Transversal Leaf Spring Suspension Design for a Lightweight Vehicle using Adams/Car FLORIAN CHRIST © Florian Christ, 2015. Vehicle Dynamics Department of Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan SE-100 44 Stockholm Sweden ii Abstract This investigation deals with the suspension of a lightweight medium-class vehicle for four passengers with a curb weight of 1000 kg. The suspension layout consists of a transversal leaf spring and is supported by an active air spring which is included in the damper. The lower control arms are replaced by the leaf spring ends. Active ride height control is introduced to compensate for different vehicle load states. Active steering is applied using electric linear actuators with steer-by wire design. Besides intense use of light material the inquiry should investigate whether elimination of suspension parts or a lighter component is concordant with the stability demands of the vehicle. The investigation is based on simulations obtained with MSC Software ADAMS/Car and Matlab. The suspension is modeled in Adams/Car and has to proof it's compliance in normal driving conditions and under extreme forces. Evaluation criteria are suspension kinematics and compliance such as camber, caster and toe change during wheel travel in different load states. Also the leaf spring deflection, anti-dive and anti-squat measures and brake force distribution are investigated.
  • Wheel Alignment Simplified

    Wheel Alignment Simplified

    The WHAT and WHY of Toe Caster - Camber Kingpin Inclination - Thrust Angle Steering Angle – Wheel setback WHEEL ALIGNMENT SIMPLIFIED Wheel alignment is often considered complicated and hard to understand In the days of the rigid chassis construction with solid axles, when tyres were poor and road speeds were low, wheel alignment was simply a matter of ensuring that the wheels rolled along the road in parallel paths. This was easily accomplished by means of using a toe gauge or simple tape measure. The steering wheel could then also simply be repositioned on the splines of the steering shaft. Camber and Caster was easily adjustable by means of shims. Today wheel alignment is of course more sophisticated as there are several angles to consider when doing wheel alignment on the modern vehicle with Independent suspension systems, good performing tyres and high road speeds. Below are the most common angles and their terminology and for the correction of wheel alignment and the diagnoses thereof, the understanding of the principals of these angles will become necessary. Doing the actual corrections of wheel alignment is a fairly simple task and in many instances it is easily accomplished by some mechanical adjustments. However Wheel Alignment diagnosis is not so straightforward and one will need to understand the interaction between the wheel alignment angles as well as the influence the various angles have on each other. In addition there are also external factors one will need to consider. Wheel Alignment Specifications are normally given in angular values of degrees and minutes A circle consists of 360 segments called DEGREES, symbolized by the indicator ° Each DEGREE again has 60 segments called MINUTES symbolized by the indicator ‘.

Incorrect trim heights can cause bottoming out over bumps, damage to the suspension components and symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems. Check the trim heights when diagnosing suspension concerns and before checking the wheel alignment. Perform the following before measuring the trim heights: Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, such as an alignment rack. Remove the alignment rack floating pins. Set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label. Refer to Vehicle Certification Label in General Information. Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank. To ensure proper weight distribution make sure the rear storage compartment is empty. Close the doors and hood. Z Height Measurement Important: K models only the Z height must be adjusted before the alignment. The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle. Vehicles equipped with torsion bars use a adjusting arm in order to adjust the Z height dimension. Vehicles without torsion bars have no adjustment and could require replacement of suspension components. Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to ground. Cross vehicle Z heights should be within 12 mm (0.47 in) to be considered correct. 1. Place hand on the front bumper and jounce the front of the vehicle.
