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.

  • 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.

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.

Spring rate for a spring is defined as weight goods has let to these developments. With the invent and help of required for one inch deflection in spring, stiffer springs numerous mechatronic systems there is technological advancements in various automobile sectors and thus gave better require more weight and softer springs require less weight performance output A suspension system has responsibility of for unit inch of deflection. There are variable spring rates safety of both the vehicle and occupants by providing stability which can have both stiffer and softer spring rates in one and comfort ride during its maneuvers. Without the help of any spring called as progressive rate spring; suspension system, it would have made extremely hard for a driver to control a vehicle since all the shocks and vibrations would have been directly transmitted to steering without any damping. The main aim of this study to discuss about the designing and analysis of double wishbone suspension system for automobile.
