Abstract

Suspension system plays a vital role in providing a pleasure and safe driving experience. Because of that, studying the behaviour of suspension system during road driving is crucial. This paper describes the work carried out to investigate the dynamic loading effects on suspension components during rough road driving and analyse based on safety factor and fatigue life. A multibody simulation using SolidWorks software is conducted. Von Mises stress, strain, and displacement distribution plots are generated to visualize stress and deformation patterns. Fatigue life distribution plots indicate infinite fatigue life strength for the majority of components. Kinematic and compliance test examines roll centre, vertical movement of the wheel centre, toe angle and camber angle. This comprehensive analysis contributes to suspension system design and optimization, improving vehicle safety and durability.
