In this paper, a full vehicle model is developed to analyze toe and camber changes due to rack height variation and compliance. The AutoDyn7 program developed in G7 project is used for the computer simulation. Steady state cornering test was done to find the understeer gradient. Imposing a pulse steer input, Frequency Response Function(FRF) of yaw rate and lateral accelerations were evaluated. To verify the stability, the rhombus using four parameters is employed. Steer characteristics were evaluated by changing the rack height and the bushing lateral stiffiness. which installed between the low control arm and the chassis.

Vehicle dynamic models in handing and stability analysis are divided into three groups: bicycle model, roll axis model and full vehicle model. Bicycle model is a simple linear model, which hag two wheels with load transfer being ignored. Roll axis model treats left and right wheels independently. In this model, load transfer has a great effect on nonlinearity of tire model. Effects of suspension system can be analyzed by using full vehicle model, which is included suspension stroke motions. In this paper, these models are validated and compared through comparison with road test, and the effects of suspension kinematics and compliance characteristics on vehicle motion are analyzed. In handling and stability analysis, roll axis model can simulate the real vehicle motion more accurately than full vehicle model. Compliance steer has a significant effect, but the effect of suspension kinematics is negligible.

Vehicle suspensions can be regarded as interconnection of rigid bodies with kinematic joints and compliance elements such as springs, bushings, and stabilizers. Design of a suspension system requires detailed specification of the interconnection point (or so called hard points) and characteristic values of compliance elements. During the design process, these design variables are determined to meet some prescribed performance targets expressed in terms of SDFs (Static Design Factors), such as toe, camber, compliance steer, etc. This paper elaborates on a systematic approach to achieve optimum design of suspension systems.

무게중심이 높은 차량은 코너링 시에 전복되는 위험을 방지하기 위해 서스펜션 롤 강성이 매우 커야 한다. 어떤 경우에는 효과적인 롤 강성이 주로 타이어 컴플라이언스에 의해 결정되는데, 그러한 경우에는 히브(heave) 진동의 감쇠를 위해 사용되는 쇽업쇼바는 롤 진동을 억제하는 데에는 별다른 효과가 없다. 따라서, 차량의 측면에 돌풍이 불거나 차량이 불규칙한 도로면을 통과하게 될 경우 차량이 좌우로 심하게 흔들리게 된다. 본 연구에서는 무게중심이 높은 차량의 안정성을 향상시키기 위해서 롤 모드 상에서 댐핑을 증가시킬 수 있는 제어기법이 제안되었다. 롤 운동의 댐핑을 제공하기 위해 요구되는 궤환신호로 앞 또는 뒤 또는 앞 뒤 바퀴의 조향각이 사용되었다. 그 이유는 그 신호들이 롤 운동과 매우 밀접하게 관련이 있기 때문이다. 제안된 제어기법은 중고속에서 매우 효과적이고 쇽업쇼바와는 달리 외적 입력에 대해 외란 모멘트를 생성하지 않고 롤 모드를 안정화시키는 것이 가능하다. 이론적으로 제시된 제어기법에 대한 타당성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.

In this study, we perform the optimization of trailing arm bush in a vehicle rear suspension to improve the ride and handling performance. A design problem was formulated considering 2 objective functions and 7 constraints related to vehicle ride and handling performance. PIAnO, one of the PIDO (Process Integration and Design Optimization) tool, was used to automate analysis procedures and perform a design optimization. In order to assess relation between performances and design variables, we perform the DOE (Design of Experiments). To find the optimal solution, we used Progressive quadratic response surface method (PQRSM), one of the design optimization techniques equipped in PIAnO. As an optimization result, we got an optimal solution and could improve lateral force steer off-center by 43.0% while decreasing brake compliance at wheel center by 8.1%.
