Horse-carts and chariots were the main vehicles up through the 19th century, but men dreamt of self-propelled highway vehicles. The invention of the internal combustion engine, with its compact size as compared to that of the steam engine helped realize this dream. These self-propelled automobiles were so novel to people that the engi- neers did not worry much about their shape and size. They mainly consisted of the engine and its components, wheels, and a seat on top with a steering device. Later, this seat was replaced by a carriage to accommodate more persons. These early cars were quite high mounted on the axles with open engine, that is, without any hood to cover the engine.

Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 4, Issue 9( Version 4), September 2014, pp.137-140 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Design, Analysis and Optimization of Anti-Roll Bar Pravin Bharane*, Kshitijit Tanpure**, Amit Patil***, Ganesh Kerkal**** *,**,***,****( Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engg., Dnyanganga College of Engg. & Research, Pune) ABSTRACT Vehicle anti-roll bar is part of an automobile suspension system which limits body roll angle. This U-shaped metal bar connects opposite wheels together through short lever arms and is clamped to the vehicle chassis with rubber bushes. Its function is to reduce body roll while cornering, also while travelling on uneven road which enhances safety and comfort during driving. Design changes of anti-roll bars are quite common at various steps of vehicle production and a design analysis must be performed for each change. So Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be effectively used in design analysis of anti-roll bars. The finite element analysis is performed by ANSYS. This paper includes pre-processing, analysis, post processing, and analyzing the FEA results by using APDL (Ansys Parametric Design Language). The effects of anti-roll bar design parameters on final anti-roll bar properties are also evaluated by performing sample analyses with the FEA program developed in this project. Keywords: FEA, Anti Roll Bar, APDL, Design Parameters. I. INTRODUCTION Anti-roll bar, also referred to as stabilizer or ensure directional control and stability with adequate sway bar, is a rod or tube, usually made of steel, that traction and braking capabilities [1].

  • A Novel Chassis Concept for Power Steering Systems Driven by Wheel Individual Torque at the Front Axle M
    25th Aachen Colloquium Automobile and Engine Technology 2016 1 A Novel Chassis Concept For Power Steering Systems Driven By Wheel Individual Torque At The Front Axle M. Sc. Philipp Kautzmann Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Vehicle System Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany M. Sc. Jürgen Römer Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany Dr.-Ing. Michael Frey Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Vehicle System Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany Dr.-Ing. Marcel Ph. Mayer Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany Summary The project "Intelligent Assisted Steering System with Optimum Energy Efficiency for Electric Vehicles (e²-Lenk)" focuses on a novel assisted steering concept for electric vehicles. We analysed different suspensions to use with this innovative power steering concept driven by wheel individual drive torque at the front axle. Our investigations show the potential even for conventional suspensions but reveal the limitations of standard chassis design. Optimized suspension parameters are needed to generate steering torque efficiently. Requirements arise from emergency braking, electronic stability control systems and the potential of the suspension for the use with our steering system. In lever arm design a trade-off between disturbing and utilizable forces occurs. We present a new design space for a novel chassis layout and discuss a first suspension design proposal with inboard motors, a small scrub radius and a big disturbance force lever arm. 1 Introduction Electric vehicles are a promising opportunity to reduce local greenhouse gas emissions in transport and increase overall energy efficiency, as electric drivetrain vehicles operate more efficiently compared to conventionally motorized vehicles. The internal combustion engine of common vehicles not only accelerates the vehicle, but also supplies energy to on-board auxiliary systems, such as power-assisted steering, which reduces the driver’s effort at the steering wheel.
