Stress behaviour of the vehicle suspension system has received much attention in recent years due to its effect on life time of different parts, especially lower suspension arm. These stresses can be reduced by optimizing and design variables of automotive lower arm suspension system as well as its materials metallurgical parameters. The high strength-to-weight ratio of aluminium casting alloys makes them materials of choice. The studied model is selected to be close to real operation of automotive suspension system. The main objectives of this study are to propose the proper variables required in design of suspension system parts and to reduce the stresses on lower arm-suspension system by materials and design optimum selection. The agreement of the vibration model of vehicle, design variables for optimization and the materials selection validates its positive effect on the mechanical and quality performance of applied parts made of aluminium alloys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
