ABSTRACT: The suspension system of an automobile is one which separates the wheel/axle assemble from the body. The primary function of the suspension system is to isolate the vehicle structure from shocks and vibration due to irregularities of the road surface. Today, some of the technology used for suspension system in automobiles. But they can’t give fully satisfied passenger comfort and vehicle control. These two terms very important to travelling long travel in vehicle. The following are the basic requirements of a suspension system
1. To prevent the road shocks from being transmitted to the vehicle frame.
2. To preserve the stability of the vehicle in pitching or rolling, while in motion.
3. To safeguard the occupants from road shocks.
4. To maintain proper steering geometry.
5. To provide good road holding while driving, cornering and braking.
This paper reports a newly developed suspension system of Electromagnetic suspension system. The main feature of this suspension system is to eliminate roll and pitch during driving a vehicle. The heart of this suspension system is a linear electromagnetic motor installed at each wheel of the vehicle.
Types of suspension system;
1. Spring suspension system.
2. Damper suspension system.
3. Air suspension system.
4. Hydro elastic suspension system.
5. Hydro gas suspension system.
Modeling a Suspension System
Existing models include full, half, quarter body models.
Example: simplified quarter body model.
Equation of Motion Suspension travel equation Transverse Function
BASIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM:
1. Vertical Loading
