Focused on lunar ISRU and the RESOLVE/Resource Prospector Mission, much can be learned and developed from these experiences as applied to Martian ISRU. Hawaiian tephra has proven geochemical similarities to Mars, and also is the source of the geotechnical NASAJSC1A Mars Simulant.

MORryde International has been designing, testing and manufacturing rubber suspension systems for trailers, motorhomes and tow vehicles for over 35 years. The MORryde “IS” system has replaced your steel leaf springs and axle. Many brand - new trailers with leaf spring setups ride harshly, bounce unnecessarily and, in a worse case scenario, can cause accelerated wear and tear on the trailer structure and its contents. With our “IS” independent design, we use rubber shear springs to isolate and absorb road shock and increase the dynamic wheel travel. This provides you with: 1. Much smoother towing 2. Improved handling 3. Reduced vibration 4. Better protection of the trailer from damaging road shock 5. Height Adjustment The MORryde “IS” also features automotive style alignment features. This allows for toe and camber wheel alignment. Each “IS” system is designed specifically for the chassis of the trailer it is installed on. The “IS” system is available with a wide range of brake and bearing options. Bearing Options: 1. Standard 2 piece bearing units with inner & outer bearings 2. E-Z lube bearings 3. Never lube bearings by Dexter Dexter Axle electric brakes options: 1. 12” X 2” rated at 7000 lb 2. 12.25 x 2.5” rated at 7200 lb 3. 12.25” x 3.38” rated at 8000 lb Kodiak Hydraulic Disc Brake options: 1.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Union College ADVISOR: David Hodgson This thesis outlines the process of designing a three link front, and four link rear suspension system. These systems are commonly found on vehicles used for the sport of rock crawling, or for recreational use on unmaintained roads. The paper will discuss chassis layout, and then lead into the specific process to be followed in order to establish optimal geometry for the unique functional requirements of the system. Once the geometry has been set up, the paper will discuss how to measure the performance, and adjust or fine tune the setup to optimize properties such as roll axis, antisquat, and rear steer.

RTC - AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CENTER, CESTA K TAMU 7, 2 000 MARIBOR, SLOVENIA ABSTRACT: In this paper a terrain vehicle with four wheels drive and four wheels steer intended to use for recreational purpose is presented. The main purpose is to design the suspension mechanism that fulfills requirements about stability, safety and maneuverability. Nowadays, as well as in the past, the development of the suspension systems of the vehicle has shown greater interest by designers and manufacturers of the vehicles. Research is focused to do a comprehensive study of different available independent suspension system (MacPherson, double wishbone, multi-link) and hence forth develop a methodology to design the suspension system for a terrain vehicle. Few chosen suspension systems are analyzed into the very details in order to find out the optimal design of it. During development process of the suspension system should be considered design constraints and requirements provided in the check list. Afterwards the simulation results for kinematics analyses of suspension mechanism are performed in Working Model 2D and MATLAB environments. Achieved results are discussed in detail in order to find the best solution that will fulfill pretentious requirement from developed suspension system.

Focus was to make the front suspension of the vehicle lighter than the double wishbone setup yet it retains the characteristics of unequal double wishbone setup which may not be possible through MacPherson strut type of suspension setup. The overall carbon footprint for the vehicle is lower hence keeping it eco-friendlier. This vehicle has lesser components than a typical ATV implying that manufacturing and production costs are reduced. Therefore, the vehicle is cheaper than any other all-terrain vehicle. Keywords- suspension modeling , double wishbone, design optimization. 1) Introduction This paper in particular concentrates on the design of the suspension for an ATV, modifying the mounting factors, analysing of the forces that are to be damped with the aid of the suspension. Suspension gadget plays a vital role within the coping with of the vehicle. It allows the driver to manoeuvre the vehicle. The main feature of suspension is to ensure that the driver feels snug while riding the auto and the forces are damped to save you chassis from getting damaged.
