“…37 Knapczyk and Dzierzek have written quite a few papers on the subject, taking joint flexibility hence elasto-kinematics into account as well. 38–40 The subject of suspension kinematics computation is still relevant regardless of the widespread use of general purpose, multibody-based software, as shown by recent works like literature, 41–43 related to the application of various optimisation methods to suspension kinematics. The authors have contributed to research on the subject in literature, 31–34 while Cambiaghi et al.…”

The paper presents an integrated approach to suspension design with educational purposes. A dedicated design tool was created to instruct automotive engineering students in the whole process of suspension design across the various CAE tools involved, from early kinematics studies to CAD, vehicle dynamics simulations and FEM modelling. The tool has given birth to a proven design procedure that the authors would like to share in this paper with focus on the educational side, although suspension kinematics design is not certainly a novel subject in itself. The tool includes geometries like the widely used McPherson strut, complex five-link schemes for high-end road cars, and typical racing car geometries like the so-called push/pull rod systems used on Formula 1 and Le Mans racecars. It has been applied successfully to various projects developed by professionals as well as by students, including the latest three Formula SAE (FSAE) single-seaters of the University of Brescia (Brescia, Italy) team. The paper is structured as follows. The introduction describes the role student design

“…In order to achieve the desired dynamic behaviour of cars in different driving situations, numerous computer simulations and actual road tests have been carried out using specialised measuring apparatus [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Modern car suspensions are complicated spatial mechanisms with flexible constraints [11][12][13] -this is one of the reasons why the real kinematic steering ratio changes in relation to the speed of the vehicle [14]. This change results in a significant difference between the actual and the theoretical steering angle.…”

Measurements of the angular and linear displacements of steered wheel

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper concerns the use of a prototype measuring instrument for conducting measurements of the linear and angular displacements of a steered wheel in relation to the car body. The theoretical principles of the measurement are presented, as are the notation method and a solution to the system of equations of the geometric constraints of the instrument' s mechanism. In the research section, the manner in which the measurements were conducted is discussed and sample results are described. A preliminary analysis of the results is performed in the summary section.
