Development of CAE Tools for Vehicle Suspension Design(I) -Development of a Bushing Module-

자동차 서스펜션 설계를 위한 CAE기법의 개발(I) -부싱 모듈 개발-

The role of bushing elements linked between suspension parts is to enhance ride quality and handling stability by the spring and damping effect from the elastic deformation. In this paper, a theoretical derivation and computer implementation off a bushing element are proposed. Three different vehicle models are generated to test the developed bushing module. The developed bushing module is implemented as a bushing module in the vehicle dynamic analysis program AUTODYN7.
