Abstract

The paper presents the dynamic model with 4 degrees of freedom of an independent suspension with MacPherson type coil springs, taking into account the anti-roll bar. Starting from the constructive scheme, a kinematic analysis necessary to obtain the dynamic model is carried out. The differential displacement equations are obtained starting from the expressions of kinetic and potential energy, by applying Lagrange’s equations. Next, the expressions of the inertia, stiffness and damping matrices and, finally, the matrix expression of pitch-roll vibrations are presented. At the end of the paper, in the numerical application carried out with a calculation program in MATLAB, the influence of the values of the damping constants on the dynamic forces at the wheels is studied. The numerical results are presented in the form of diagrams.
