Abstract

Due to the low production cost and space availability which are originated from the structural simplicity of the torsion beam axle suspension, the suspension has been frequently used for sedan and SUV style vehicles. The design procedure of the suspension, however, requires significant amount of time which prohibits more efficient design of the suspension. In this study, an integrated procedure and constituting modules are explained and the performance of the corresponding program is exhibited. The integrated procedure enables one to save the design time and cost significantly.
