Abstract:

Automobile suspension systems have an important role in a vehicle's functioning, especially with regard to driving safety. In the present paper we exhibit the equations that characterize a passive suspension system. Considering that solving the equations is extremely cumbersome we developed a simulation scheme in MATLAB Simulink. The simulation allows for an analysis of the behavior of the passive suspension system on any uneven track surface whose configuration is ensured by stimulus signals. For the simulation we used the quarter car model. The suspension was chosen as having two degrees of freedom.

Keywords:
