This paper presents the reliability analysis technique on the dynamic characteristics of the torsion beam consisting the suspension system of passenger car. We utilize response surface method (RSM) and Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the response surface model that describes the limit state function for the natural frequencies of the torsion beam. Using the response surface model and the design optimization technique, we have obtained the optimized section considering the reliability of the torsion beam structure.

In this paper, a coil spring of the suspension components of the car is calculated through FEM(Finite Element Method) when a portion of the one is applied by an external load. we analyze the situation by using 'Large Deformation Analysis SW' in the EDISON structural dynamics server. Results of the analysis are about a displacement of the upper spring after deformation and total mass, and we use them to calculate the spring constant and maximum von-Mises stress by using Hooke's law and von-Mises stress equation. Finally, we visualize the relationship between the calculated spring constant and the mass through graphs and this data are beneficial for industries related to the spring.

A method for analyzing the coupled wind-vehicle-bridge system is proposed that also considers the shielding effect of the bridge tower with triangular wind barriers. The static wind load and the buffeting wind load for both the bridge and the vehicle are included. The shielding effects of the bridge tower and the triangular wind barriers are incorporated by taking the surface integral of the wind load. The inter-history iteration is adopted to solve the vehicle-bridge dynamic equations with time-varying external loads. The results show that after installing the triangular wind barriers in the area of the bridge tower, the bridge response and the vehicle safety factors change slightly. The peak value of the train car body acceleration is significantly reduced when the wind barrier size is increased.

This research has been performed to estimate the hunting motion hysteresis of railway passenger cars. An old and a new car with almost same structure are chosen as analysis models. To solve effectively a set of simultaneous equations of motion strongly coupled with creep relations, shooting algorithm in which the nonlinear relations are regarded as a two-point boundary value problem is adopted. The bifurcation theory is applied to the dynamic analysis to distinguish differences between linear and nonlinear critical speeds by variation of parameters. It is found that there are some factors and their operation area to make nonlinear critical speed respond to them more sensitivity than linear critical speed. Full-scale roller rig tests are carried out for the validation of the numerical results. Finally, it is concluded that the wear of wheel profile and the stiffness discontinuities of wheelset suspension caused by deterioration have to be considered in the analysis to predict hysteresis of critical speed precisely.

The performance of shock absorber is directly related to the car behaviour and performance, both for handling and comfort. In this study, a mathematical nonlinear dynamic model and computational method are introduced to study the flow and performance of shock absorber. The flow characteristics of components(piston and body valve) are investigated and applied to dynamic modeling of shock absorber to predict the damping force. The simulation results agree with the test data well. The shock absorber model proposed in this paper is applicable as a part of a full vehicle suspension simulation.

This paper suggests a suboptimal control scheme of an active suspension system with an asymmetric hydraulic cylinder. In this paper a quarter car model including a nonlinear actuator dynamics is used. A feedback linearization technique is applied to obtain a linear model. An LQ regulator is designed with the linear model to keep robustness against sprung mass variation. The gain of the LQ regulator which depends on the damping coefficient of the damper is calculated by using an RBF neural network for real time application. The improvement achieved with our design is illustrated through comparative simulations.

Steering system is most important for vehicle in safety and driving feel. However, testing using real car to improve steering feel is often difficult in aspect to repeatability, safety and money. Repeatability in testing steering system is very important because steering feel for driver is variable according to the environment condition. And steering testing of vehicle is so dangerous that driver may not concentrate in testing. In this paper, the steering system simulator using front part of steering and suspension system was developed. We can test the electric power steering system for the light weight vehicle using this simulator cheap, safely and repeatably.

The torsion beam axle type is widely used in the rear suspension for small passenger car because of low cost, good performance and etc. The FE and dynamic analysis using the computer are very helpful for the efficiency of the torsion beam design. First of all, the reliability on the computational model must be verified for the analysis. In this study, The FE model of the torsion beam was verified according to comparison with he test data. And after making the flexible body using the FE model, the dynamic characteristic of the tubular type torsion beam axles was compared with that of the V-beam type.
