Quassi Static Analysis and Hardpoint Calculation of Three Wheel Vehicle Front and Rear Suspension System

Abstract

The main project aim is to design and hard point calculation of front and rear suspension system also performed quasi static analysis on front and rear suspension system. The performance and kinetic characteristic of a suspension are closely related to the handling stability, comfort ability, and handling of the steering of tripod vehicle. For front, build and analyse a simulation model of a MacPherson front suspension based on multi-body dynamics and suspension kinematic theory. For rear, single swing arm rear suspension based on multi-body dynamics and suspension kinematic theory. For front, modified tie rod hardpoints for achieved Ackerman Percentage 50% and Ride steer 0.7 and try to achieved anti-dive results. For rear, design coil spring for 2.4 Hz ride frequency and try to achieved ani-squat results.
