  • Active Air Suspension System
    IJSRD - International Journal for Scientific Research & Development| Vol. 6, Issue 05, 2018 | ISSN (online): 2321-0613 Active Air Suspension System Suchit Naresh Moon Department of Mechanical Engineering Nagpur Institute of Technology, India Abstract— Air ride suspension carries the load on each axle with a pressurized air bag just as a high pressure balloon. This system provides the smoothest and most shock free ride of any of the known vehicle suspension system. An air suspension includes a multiple air spring assemblies that each includes a piston airbag and a primary airbag mounted over the piston airbag. The primary and piston airbags each have a variable volume that is controlled independently of the other for active suspension control. Air ride system provides some important following features: 1) The system automatically adjusts air pressure in the air bag so that the trailer always rides at the same height, whether lightly loaded or heavily loaded. 2) The higher air bag pressure associated with higher trailer loads automatically provides a stiffer suspension which is required for a smooth ride. 3) The lower air bag pressure for lightly loaded conditions automatically provides for a softer suspension, thus providing the same ride quality for all trailer loading conditions. Since each axle is independently supported by its own air bag, Fig. 1: Locating Suspension Units the air ride suspension is known as fully independent suspension system. The automatic control of the air bag II. FULLY ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM pressure is accomplished by a solid state electronic control system specifically designed and packaged for vehicle use. Active suspension system has the ability to response to the This system continuously checks the ride height of the vertical changes in the road input.

  • BRAKING PERFORMANCE of AIR SUSPENDED CONVERTER DOLLIES Mr
    Pages 319-335 BRAKING PERFORMANCE OF AIR SUSPENDED CONVERTER DOLLIES Mr. Scott McFarlane and Dr. Peter Sweatman Roaduser Research Pty Ltd ABSTRACT In 1996 the National Road Transport Committee (NRTC) released a national heavy vehicle axle Mass Limit Review (MLR). The MLR recommended an axle mass increase for axle groups suspended by road-friendly air-suspension. For an air-suspension to be classified as Road Friendly it is required to have a bounce frequency below 2.0Hz and have damping greater than 20% of critical. It is also a requirement that the suspension group achieves load sharing within 5%. Air suspended converter dollies have become popular in Australia, particularly the triaxle type. Triaxle dollies offer a productivity benefit of between 2.5 and 4.5 tonne when compared to a tandem converter dolly. There was concern that the increased mass offered to air-suspended dollies would significantly affect the performance of road trains under braking. The Roaduser Autosim Truck Engineering Dynamics (RATED) computer simulation models were used to simulate the performance of hinged and rigid drawbar tandem and triaxle dollies under braking. The results from the simulation showed that an air-suspended tandem converter dolly could pitch significantly under braking when compared to mechanically suspended dollies. Triaxle air suspended dollies were found to pitch somewhat less than the tandem air-suspended dolly and generated a lower longitudinal force in the coupling. This indicated that the triaxle dolly has better brake balance and should be encouraged by allowing the weight increase. Rigid drawbars on converter dollies reduce the amount of dolly pitch and hence have better brake balance.

  • Ride Control Defined
    RIDE CONTROL DEFINED According to Newton's First Law, a moving body will continue moving in a straight line until it is acted upon by another force. Newton's Second Law states that for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of the automobile, whether the disturbing force is in the form of a wind-gust, an incline in the roadway, or the cornering forces produced by tires, the force causing the action and the force resisting the action will always be in balance. Many things affect vehicles in motion. Weight distribution, speed, road conditions and wind are some factors that affect how vehicles travel down the highway. Under all these variables however, the vehicle suspension system including the shocks, struts and springs must be in good condition. Worn suspension components may reduce the stability of the vehicle and reduce driver control. They may also accelerate wear on other suspension components. Replacing worn or inadequate shocks and struts will help maintain good ride control as they: Control spring and suspension movement Provide consistent handling and braking Prevent premature tire wear Help keep the tires in contact with the road Maintain dynamic wheel alignment Control vehicle bounce, roll, sway, dive and acceleration squat Reduce wear on other vehicle systems Promote even and balanced tire and brake wear Reduce driver fatigue Suspension concepts and components have changed and will continue to change dramatically, but the basic objective remains the same: 1. Provide steering stability with good handling characteristics 2. Maximize passenger comfort Achieving these objectives under all variables of a vehicle in motion is called ride control 1 BASIC TERMINOLOGY To begin this training program, you need to possess some very basic information.

    ISSN: 2455-2631 © June 2019 IJSDR | Volume 4, Issue 6 Design and Development of Multi-Link Suspension Suspension System 1Piyush Parida, 2Vaibhav Itkikar, 3Harshal Patil, 4Sandip Patil 1,2,3,4UG Students Mechanical Engineering Department G.H. Raisoni College of Engineering and Management, Chas, Ahmednagar, India Abstract: In order to provide a comfortable ride to the passengers and avoid additional stresses in motor car frame, the car should neither bounce or roll or sway the passengers when cornering nor pitch when accelerating. For this purpose the virtual prototype of suspension systems were built in software MSC ADAMS/CAR and suspensions for military truck were analyzed keeping in mind the optimization of suspension parameters. As there is tremendous development in Suspension Technology, Multi-Link suspension system are considered better independent suspension system among all other independent suspension system. Its simple design and construction makes it way more convenient to install and serve its purpose. As there is vast growth in Agriculture, farming becoming more and more advanced in terms of technology and in that transport vehicles play important role in making agriculture more productive. We saw different scenario where agriculture transport vehicles collapsing because of their conventional suspension system fails to stabalize the loaded vehicle on different road conditions. We tried to see the improvement in performance of vehicle in stabalizing itself by using Multi- Link suspension system. Keywords: Suspension, links, vibrations, Multi body dynamic analysis (MBD) 1. INTRODUCTION In heavy transport vehicle field existing dependent suspension system unit is used. If some have that is leaf spring suspension. In all cases Leaf spring design for full load condition.
