This paper considers a modern approach of K&C parameters stability analysis using the suspension MBS model of a short-wheelbase electric vehicle. According to the results of the work, even minor errors in suspension hardpoints positioning when overlaying can greatly affect the K&C parameters of car suspensions. Using MBS models, quasi-static K&C events have been simulated. In the same way the dependences of the suspension K&C parameters are numerically determined. Moreover, these calculations were made with different hardpoints positions for joints of wishbones fastening on a frame, and joint of a steering rod with a steering rack. The influence of suspension hardpoints displacement on the K&C parameters of the vehicle was estimated. As a result, recommendations are made for production positioning tolerances of suspension hardpoints in order to avoid deterioration of K&C parameters. Basically, the appearance of inaccuracies in the positioning of hardpoints leads to critical changes in anti-dive, anti-lift, kingpin inclination angle, bump camber and bump steer parameters.
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.
