Suspension systems and components 2 of 42 Objectives • To provide good ride and handling performance – – vertical compliance providing chassis isolation – ensuring that the wheels follow the road profile – very little tire load fluctuation • To ensure that steering control is maintained during maneuvering – – wheels to be maintained in the proper position wrt road surface • To ensure that the vehicle responds favorably to control forces produced by the tires during – longitudinal braking – accelerating forces, – lateral cornering forces and – braking and accelerating torques – this requires the suspension geometry to be designed to resist squat, dive and roll of the vehicle body • To provide isolation from high frequency vibration from tire excitation – requires appropriate isolation in the suspension joints – Prevent transmission of ‘road noise’ to the vehicle body 3 of 42 Vehicle Axis system • Un-sprung mass • Right-hand orthogonal axis system fixed in a vehicle • x-axis is substantially horizontal, points forward, and is in the longitudinal plane of symmetry. • y-axis points to drivers right and • z-axis points downward. • Rotations: – A yaw rotation about z-axis. SAE vehicle axes – A pitch rotation about y-axis. – A roll rotation about x-axis Figure from Gillespie,1992 4 of 42 Tire Terminology - basic • Camber angle – angle betw
