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.

    The springs in your suspension system, along with your struts and shocks, all work to reduce road impact, spread the weight of your vehicle, and keep all four of your wheels in contact with the ground. How tightly would the springs are and the rigidity of the suspension springs can also have an impact on your vehicle's handling and performance.…

    I’m not satisfied with my car ride; it’s too rough. For instance, when a road surface has grooves in it, the wheels get pulled in every direction. My tires’ treads seem too deep for ordinary city driving. Bumps and potholes usually send my passengers’ heads straight into the roof. When I bought my car, I asked about its stiff suspension and heavy-duty tires. The salesperson told me that the suspensions’ elements would eventually soften for a smoother ride, but they haven’t. I should have known not to trust anyone’s words more than my own instincts.…

    By changing an object’s momentum, we are able to move it either faster or slower, and eventually to a halt, depending on the amount, direction, and magnitude of the force that acts upon the object. By applying this aspect on a car’s safety systems, we are able to either reduce the risks of injuries as the results of a crash, or to avoid a crash completely. It is with this principle that seatbelts, crumple zones, air bags, and braking systems, among other features, are able to save us from such unfortunate events.…

    Both figures shows that it takes a significant amount of time for the bounce of the system to reach a steady state as well as the pitch angle looking to be too ample to be ideal. These initial conditions may cause an uncomfortable and irritating motion for the individuals riding in the car, thus a fine tuning is needed. After adjusting the spring constants and damping coefficients, Figures 4 and 6 displays a more ideal motion that has less of a vertical bounce and a smaller pitch angle amplitude. The new tuned coefficients significantly decreased the time it took to reach a steady state as well as controlling the amplitude to a minimal motion. It was found that increasing the damping coefficient to 500 Ns/m and decreasing the spring stiffness value to around 10,000 N/m of the front and rear suspensions will give an ideal response for a much desirable ride. Initially, some will think that increasing only the damping coefficient to a much higher value would tune the response ideally, but taking consideration of the damping ratio, the larger the damping coefficient the smaller the damping ratio will be which will result in a larger pitch angle that will be undesirable for the…

    When a front-wheel drive vehicle with an adjustable rear suspension hits a pothole, it should be inspected for misalignment. The same is true for vehicles with four-wheel independent suspension. Good car maintenance includes checking auto alignment and performing a four-wheel alignment when needed. The alignment measures and adjusts the front and rear axles and ensures that all four wheels are square with each other. Thirty years of…

    How To Create A Long Car

    My car utilizes the energy stored within a stretched rubber band, and converts it into rotational kinetic energy, which moves the wheels forward. 2 non-motile rods were placed on the front of the chassis to maintain tension in the rubber bands, and allow the rubber band to retract as it leaves the axle, preventing it from limiting axle motion. The CD wheels on the rear of the vehicle allow a larger displacement per axle rotation, meaning the car will be able to travel a farther distance. Vinyl tape was used on the rear wheels, in order to maximize traction with the ground, and prevent wheel spin. The aluminum can that was used as the chassis was a malleable, yet durable, low mass material which aided the function of my car. Plastic washers were used on both axles, as guides to prevent horizontal sway as the car was in motion, allowing the car to travel in a straight path. The bottle caps used on the back axle prevented wheel oscillation, by making the wheels near perpendicular to the ground.…

    One of the main errors leading to this situation was the fact that ChassisCo didn’t follow on the Toyota principle of giving the bad news up front. Toyota stated with every supplier that they expected a swift alert in case any risks were to arise, in order to tackle root causes and diminish the problems right away. On the same line, Toyota knew that the manufacturing process for the suspension cradles required substantial dedication in both effort and resources. Nevertheless, they miscalculated the actual capacity of the supplier to meet Toyota’s demand.…

    Handling behavior of a ground vehicle is one of main properties of a vehicle that play an important role in technical and commercial evaluation of a vehicle. The frequency weighted mean square value of the vertical acceleration is a well-known criterion for ride comfort. For handling, several criteria have been put forward, which are to a more or lesser extent dependent on driver input and each car company select some of these criteria as major criteria for their design, with attention to car application, consumption bazaar, environment and road condition. Off-road test is one of the best choices for handling quality evaluation of a vehicle, in which some properties of vehicle are measured by diverse sensors that fixed on vehicle. Resultant of these sensor 's data and professional driver 's opinion is good criterion in handling evaluation. In this work we performed some objective steady state tests (CRC) and objective transient tests (impulse steering input) on five most common vehicles in Iran and recorded different sensor 's outputs and obtained some quantities. Also we performed some subjective test with professional drivers and their opinions about handling quality were recorded with scores between 1 and 20. Then we will introduce 3 criteria, side slip angle and roll angle and time lag between steering input and lateral acceleration as most essential criteria in handling measurement, and then we will show a good agreement between categorizing these five vehicles according to each these 3 criteria and categorizing them according to drivers’ scores.…

    Redundant dynamic interactions will take form of undesirable effects like vibrations or noise [1]. Both vibrations and noise have negative impact on human safety and health. These effects may cause: a) balance disorder (motion sickness), b) neck and occiput area pain (connected with stressed back muscles preventing excessive movement of head caused by vibrations), common among professional drivers, These factors cannot be underestimated, because the consequences have unquestionable impact on human health and safety. Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via "jury" evaluations, or with analytical tools that provide results reflecting human subjective impressions. Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point. Kinetic energy is transformed to form of potential energy to be transformed once again to kinetic energy. This leads to the loop of cycle until excitation of this phenomenon [1]. The measurement of vibrations is affected by the number degrees of freedom of measured object. Mechanical system such internal combustion engine has a very large number of degrees of freedom.…
