Design and Analysis of Suspension System for Light Weight Vehicle

Mechanical Engineering

An Independent wheel suspension system is used nowadays in almost all new modern cars. The conventional system which uses dependent suspension is not of much use as it creates more jerk in the car body. Normally, when any bump or hindrance comes across the vehicle, the suspension system reduces the disturbance in the car. The dependent system is connected with chassis and car body frame. So with any jerk, the car body faces the disturbance. In Independent wheel vehicle suspension, the spring is connected with the wheel, which absorbs all shock and does not allow any jerk in the car body. The research paper covered a brief literature review on the analysis of the independent suspension system. First studied existing suspension design as per standard design procedure then identifying design issue in existing design by using mechanism calculation. By using CAD tools like Solid work for a critical component of independent suspension for analysis purposes and according to result for the conclusion. Optimization of taper spring concerning material properties and plot result.
