What is Modelling and Analysis of Suspension Systems about?

In this chapter, the basic role of the suspension system is discussed from a functional, analytical perspective. Several types of suspension are introduced and methods of their analysis are described in a typical commercial multibody systems (MBS) analysis package. Immediately familiar to students is the system shown in Figure 4.1, this being a suspension system referred to in Europe as a double wishbone system. In the USA the practice is to call the same system a short-long arm suspension system. We will be considering the modelling and analysis of suspension systems as separate units, a practice sometimes referred to as quarter vehicle modelling. The discussion in this chapter will be restricted to passive systems and will not address active suspension systems. It is also intended in this chapter to demonstrate the manner in which the vector based methods described in Chapter 2 can be applied to carry out threedimensional kinematic, static and dynamic force analyses of a double wishbone suspension system. The model geometry has also been analysed using an equivalent MBS model allowing a comparison of results from theory and MBS and providing readers with an insight into the compu
