A graphic vehicle modeling pre-processing program and a visualization post-processing program have been developed for AutoDyn7, which is a special program for vehicle dynamics. The Rapid-App for GUI(Graphic User Interface) builder and the Open Inventor for 3D graphic library have been employed to develop these programs in Silicon Graphics workstation. A Graphic User Interface program integrates vehicle modeling pre-processor, AutoDyn7 analysis processor, and visualization post-processor. In vehicle modeling pre-processor, vehicle hard point data for a suspension model are automatically converted into multibody vehicle system data. An interactive graphics capabilities provides suspension modeling aides to verify user input data interactively. In visualization post-processor, vehicle virtual test simulation results are animated with virtual testing environments.

Using computer in design is a trend in recent years. A good suspension model is depend on the carefully prepared data like joint connection points or spring stiffness, etc. Once a good computer model is obtained, a parametric study for spciffic suspension design factor, like a toe angle, can be done to obtain sensitivity information. Using this information, several important design parameters for a specific design factor can be identified. Once a design of experiments is done using computer models, the results can be used to approximate a function which can best represent the experimentation. An optimum solution of this function can be used to find an optimum design of a suspension system for a specific suspension design factor. Same method is again applied to other design factors iteratively until a good suspension system design is obtained.

A linear quarter model of a vehicle suspension system is built and simulated. Especially the so-called sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to show its applicability to design problems, and sensitivity function is determined in the frequency domain. The change of frequency response function is predicted, which depends on the design parameter variation and the property is verified by computer simulation. Typical performance measures, namely, sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection, and tire deflection are examined. The vehicle model is analyzed for ist performance sensitivity as a function of the system's feedback gains. The variable feedback gains are selected as the spring and damping coefficients. Frequency response, RMS response, and performance index of the performance evaluation variables are considered and three-dimensional and contour plots of response surfaces are formed to examine output sensitivity to suspension feedback. Performance trade-offs over the entire frequency spectrum are identified from the FRF, and that between ride quality and handling characteristics are examined from the RMS responses.

A leaf spring plays an important role in a passenger bus. Since characteristic of a leaf spring has a hysteresis behaviour, modeling technique for a leaf spring is an important issue for passenger bus analysis. In this paper, modeling technique for a leaf spring is presented. First, non-linear FEM model of a leaf spring is constructed then it is used to make an approximated model to be used in dynamic analysis. The modeling procedure is ex-plained in step by step approach. Then, this model is applied to dynamic analysis of a mini-bus with flexible body and non-linear dynamic force element. The results are compared with test data.

In this research a real time vehicle dynamic simulation software, to be used on real time vehicle simulators, is developed using relative coordinates and suspension super-element concept. Accuracy of the software is verified through comparisons of simulation results with those of a commercial mechanical system dynamic analysis package. It is demonstrated that real time simulation on a workstation with a 15 D.O.F. vehicle model is possible.

This paper deals with an observer-based preview control for semi-active suspensions. An Observer has been designed such that all the state variables and road inputs can be estimated from accelerations. Since the road input to the rear wheels is a delayed version of that to the front wheels, it can be obtained by estimating the road input to the front wheels without preview the estimated values of state and the estimated road input has been investigated. The results show that the observer-based control can provide good performance. The observer-based preview control improves the dynamic behavior of the rear axle and that of pitch motion compared to the LQ optimal control.

This paper deals with a robust semi-active control algorithm which is applicable to a semi-active suspension with a multi-state damper. Since the controllable damping rates are discrete in case of a multi-state semi-active damper, the desired damping rate can not be produced exactly even if force-velocity relations of a multi-state semi-active damper is completely known. In addition, damping characteristics of the semi-active dampers are different from damper to damper. A robust nonlinear control law based on sliding control is developed. The main objective of the proposed control strategies is to improve ride quality by tracking the desired active force with a multi-state damper of which the force-velocity relations are "not" completely known. The performance of th proposed semi-active control law is numerically compared to those of the control law based on a bilinear model and a passive suspension. The proposed control algorithm is robust to nonlinear characteristics and uncertainty of the force-Velocity relations of multi-state dampers.

피스톤 로드는 자동차의 진동과 충격을 흡수해 주는 현가장치인 쇽옵소버의 주요 부품의 하나로서 쇽옵소버의 성능에 중요한 영향을 주기 때문에 높은 치수정밀도와 표면 매끄러움을 요구한다. 피스톤 로드의 생산공정은 원자재 입고 및 적재$\rightarrow$절단$\rightarrow$열처리$\rightarrow$선삭$\rightarrow$홈가공$\rightarrow$밀링$\rightarrow$전조$\rightarrow$검사 및 포장 순으로 작업이 진행된다. 생산공장에서는 하루 평균 1만5천개 정도의 피스톤 로드를 생산하고 있기 때문에 사이클 타임을 줄이고 생산의 효율성을 향상시키기 위해 자동화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 피스톤 로드의 생산공정중에서 검사공정과 피스톤 로드에 나사산을 만드는 전조 공정후에 가공부품을 넘겨주는 수작업 공정을 성력화하고 사이클 타임을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있는 자동화시스템 구축 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 검사 및 이송장치에 대한 세부적인 검사장치, 정렬장치, 이송장치, 적재장치에 대한 세부 설계 방안과 모델링 수행 결과를 분석하고 제시한다.

자동차 부싱은 차체로 전달되는 하중을 줄여주는 역할을 하는 자동차 현가장치의 주요 부품으로 바깥쪽 슬리브와 안쪽의 축 사이에서 가운데가 비어있는 실린더의 형상을 가진다. 차축에 작용되는 하중과 부싱의 상대 변위는 비선형 점탄성 성질을 나타내며, 부싱에서 힘과 변위의 관계는 다물체 동역학 시뮬레이션에 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 실험을 바탕으로 하여, 자동차 부싱에 대한 힘과 변위의 비선형 점탄성 관계를 변위에 의존하는 힘 완화함수로 표현하여 이를 유도하는 방법을 개발하였으며, 완성된 비선형 점탄성 부싱 모델은 ??킨-라저스 모델로 명명하여 실험값과 비교하여 검증하였다.

This study has been carried out in order to improve the rolling problem by enhancing steering stability compared to the 2021 Student Car of the KNUT_EV team for KSAE. Among the various factors affecting steering performances, it was focused on the height of the centroid of weight, the motion ratio, and the spring deflection. In the 2022 Car, a pull rod suspension was used to reduce the height of the centroid of weight and designed with a structure of the rod and rocker to satisfy the target motion ratio. The spring deflection was testified by ADAMS and ABAQUS analysis, and the spring stiffness was selected at 350lb/inch and 450lb/inch for the front and rear wheels, respectively. As a result, the rolling angle of the 2022 Car was reduced compared to the 2021 Car, and the rolling phenomenon was improved.
