OPTIMIZATION OF THE RANDOM VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF VEHICLE SUSPENSIONS by ERICH KENNETH BENDER Submitted in partial fulfillment of the require- ments for the degree of Doctor of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, June, 1967. ABSTRACT Some of the fundamental limitations and trade-offs regard- ing the capabilities of vehicle suspensions to control random vi- brations are investigated. The vehicle inputs considered are sta- tistically described roadway elevations and static loading vara- tions on the sprung mass. The vehicle is modeled as a two-degree- of-freedom linear system consisting of a sprung mass, suspension and an unsprung mass which is connected to the roadway by a spring. The criterion used to optimize the suspension characteristics is the weighted sum of rms vehicle acceleration and clearance space required for sprung mass-unsprung mass relative excursions. Two ap- proaches to find the suspension characteristics which optimize the trade-off between vibration and clearance space are considered. The first, based on Wiener filter theory, is used to synthesize the optimum suspension transfer function.

Received: 16 December 2019; Accepted: 31 January 2020; Published: 14 February 2020 Abstract: The lightweight design of trucks is of great importance to enhance the load capacity and reduce the production cost. As a result, the taper-leaf spring will gradually replace the multi-leaf spring to become the main elastic element of the suspension for trucks. To reveal the changes of the handling stability after the replacement, the simulations and comparison of the taper-leaf and the multi-leaf spring suspensions with the same vertical stiffness for trucks were conducted. Firstly, to ensure the same comfort of the truck before and after the replacement, an analytical method of replacing the multi-leaf spring with the taper-leaf spring was proposed. Secondly, the effectiveness of the method was verified by the stiffness tests based on a case study. Thirdly, the dynamic models of the taper-leaf spring and the multi-leaf spring with the same vertical stiffness are established and validated, respectively.

    THE EVOLUTION OF TRAILER SUSPENSION DAMPING: A GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICES The noticeable ride benefits of suspension damping devices also bring maintenance challenges for fleets. Educate yourself on the evolution of damping methods to better manage long-term costs. All vehicles, passenger or commercial, are designed with damping in mind when it comes to the suspension. The primary goal of a suspension system is to carry the load from the vehicle while providing compliance between the sprung mass (chassis, trailer body, etc.) and the unsprung mass (the suspension, tires, wheels, brakes, etc). Damping devices, such as shock absorbers, are designed to add comfort and control by resisting the motion of the suspension. Without damping forces, a vehicle would have a tendency to bounce at its natural, or resonant, frequency. But over the service life of the vehicle, most suspension damping devices result in a compromise of either ride quality or added component maintenance. In the commercial trailer industry, managing issues like driver comfort, cargo protection, vehicle safety and government compliance can be a complicated balancing act. Understanding the fundamentals of damping enables fleets to better manage long-term maintenance and operation costs while keeping ride quality and driver satisfaction high. What Is Damping and Why Do I Need It? Damping describes the process of absorbing energy of road inputs that are transmitted through the suspension system. Suspension damping reduces the number and intensity of these inputs to the vehicle thereby helping to prolong the life of the vehicle and its components. In turn, this helps reduce overall operating and maintenance costs.

This paper presents a comparison between a passive anti-roll bar and an active anti-roll bar. The bars are modelled by FEM (Finite Element Method) and a controller LQG (Linear Quadratic Gaussian) is designed to the active system. In addition, the vehicle lateral dynamic is hybridized to the flexible model in order to obtain an unique mathematical model. It reviews the vehicle roll dynamics and describes the FEM applied to dynamic modelling of flexible structures. The influence of the active anti-roll system is illustrated through numerical simulation, and a comparison among the passive anti-roll system and the system without anti-roll is also presented. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the modelling approach presented in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have not been reported in the literature.

Poornachandrana, P.Pravinkumarb, M.Magudeswaranc, M.Mohanrajc a Department of Mechanical Engineering,Tamilnadu College of Engineering, Coimbatore, b Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sasurie College of Engineering, Vijayamangalam c Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nandha College of Technology, Erode, [email protected] Abstract A safe vehicle must be able to stop and maneuver over a wide range of road conditions. Good contact between the tires and the road will able to stop and maneuver quickly and it is achieved by vehicle suspension system. Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Shock absorber is an important part of automotive suspension system which has an effect on ride characteristics. Shock absorbers are also critical for tire to road contact which to reduce the tendency of a tire to lift off the road. This affects braking, steering, cornering and overall stability. The removal of the shock absorber from suspension can cause the vehicle bounce up and down. It is possible for the vehicle to be driven, but if the suspension drops from the driving over a severe bump, the rear spring can fall out. The main role of a suspension engineer is to tune the suspension in such a way as to maximize the road holding performance of the vehicle. One of the more difficult components in achieving this is the selection of the dampers which was done empirically in the past.

  • Assessment of Tire Features for Modeling Vehicle Stability in Case of Vertical Road Excitation
    applied sciences Article Assessment of Tire Features for Modeling Vehicle Stability in Case of Vertical Road Excitation Vaidas Lukoševiˇcius*, Rolandas Makaras and Andrius Dargužis Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Design, Kaunas University of Technology, Studentu˛Str. 56, 44249 Kaunas, Lithuania; [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (A.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Two trends could be observed in the evolution of road transport. First, with the traffic becoming increasingly intensive, the motor road infrastructure is developed; more advanced, greater quality, and more durable materials are used; and pavement laying and repair techniques are im- proved continuously. The continued growth in the number of vehicles on the road is accompanied by the ongoing improvement of the vehicle design with the view towards greater vehicle controllability as the key traffic safety factor. The change has covered a series of vehicle systems. The tire structure and materials used are subject to continuous improvements in order to provide the maximum possi- ble grip with the road pavement. New solutions in the improvement of the suspension and driving systems are explored. Nonetheless, inevitable controversies have been encountered, primarily, in the efforts to combine riding comfort and vehicle controllability. Practice shows that these systems perform to a satisfactory degree only on good quality roads, as they have been designed specifically for the latter. This could be the cause of the more complicated car control and accidents on the lower-quality roads. Road ruts and local unevenness that impair car stability and traffic safety are not Citation: Lukoševiˇcius,V.; Makaras, avoided even on the trunk roads.
