Abstract

Three-wheeled vehicles may be a better choice as compared with four-wheeler cars provided they are properly designed to improve the rollover stabilities and ride comfort. The design modifications need improvement in geometry and suspension. This article presents the dynamic behavior of three-wheeled vehicle equipped with an inerter-based dynamic absorber and compares the same with the conventional suspension system. The performance parameters analyzed are vertical-lateral acceleration, front & rear suspension deflection, and front & rear dynamic tyre loads. The analytical rigid body model is formulated by assigning 9 degrees of freedom to the system for the evaluation of performance parameters to compare the inerter-based absorber suspension with the conventional passive suspension system.
