It is clear that when an automobile negotiates a curve the lateral acceleration causes an increase in tire normal load for the wheels on the outside of the curve and a decrease in load for the inside wheels. However, just how the details of the suspension linkages and the parameters of the springs and shock absorbers affect the dynamics of the load transfer os not easily understood. One even encounters the false idea that since it is the compression and extension of the main suspension springs spring body role which largely determines the changes in normal load, of roll could be reduced, the load transfer would also be reduced. Using free body diagrams, one can explain quite clearly how the load is transferred for steady state cornering, and, using complex multibody models of particular vehicles one can simulate in good fidelity how load transfer occurs dynamically. Here we adopt a middle ground by using the concept of roll center and using a series of half-car bond graph models to point out main effects. Since bond graph junction structures automatically and consistently constrain geometric and force variables simultaneously, they can be used to point out hidden assumptions of other simplified vehicle models.

Springs for vehicle suspension control the vibration of a car and influence on the ridability, safety, and life of a car. In the paper, the computer aided design program has been developed, which design the leaf spring shape from the given specifications using basic theory and the expert's knowledge, and the design results are checked by the analysis theory in order to increase the accuracy, and feed back to the design input. For the purpose of easy use, this program consists of pull-down menu and interactive input mode. To prove the effectiveness of this program. two springs, of which one is symmetric, other asymmetric, are designed and analyzed, and the outputs are compared to the experiments. Considering the tolerance of the given specifications, the results are good.

Mobility of tracked vehicles is dependent on performance of its power equipment and suspension systems. Especially, its road wheels, components of its suspension systems, play an important role in distributing the vehicle weight on the ground and preventing from misguiding tracks. In this study, the maximum force acted on multipurpose tracked vehicles driven on the worst condition was calculated. And then FE analyses were carried out to evaluate the strength of the road wheels under the maximum force condition. For quality evaluation of the road wheels, FE simulations and experimental works were carried out under specific slant loads. Residual deformation for the slant loads was investigated and commented upon.

This study is to choose the most proper model for AGV throughout simulation of behavior of suspension to reduce trial and error because there is no AGV treating heavy weight at harbor loading and unloading at home. Therefore, we estimate the vibration modes of the various suspensions applied to AGV, which is over 75 ton included the weight of two containers using the Matlab in the case of G and 5G, one of the simulation programs.

A Shock absorber is one of the most important components in vehicle suspension systems. In general, many repeated analyses are required for the design of a shock absorber to satisfy the suspension characteristics of a specific automobile, like fluid flow analysis and mechanical analysis. The purpose of this study is to develop a fast design tool for shock absorber designers. One of the efficient solutions for this can be an empirical design method considering phenomenological effects from the shock absorber design variables. In order to extract the shock absorber's experimental characteristics, we used Taguchi method. This method showed that which design variables have major effects for the shock absorber's damping characteristics. This empirical design method also showed the direction of the design changes to satisfy the designer's intension.

The brake judder comes from non-uniformities in the tire/wheel assembly caused by mechanical effects such as a brake torque variation (BTV). A disc thickness variation (DTV) related with the kinematic behavior of the disc was investigated a main source of BTV. In this study, a dynamic model with brake corner assembly of full vehicle using MSC.ADAMS was correlated by experiment of judder phenomenon. Judder was generated and correlated systematically by judder experiment in chassis and brake dynamometer from variation in the thickness of the disc. Also it has been found a judder transfer path and variation of the braking pressure. Through analysis of transfer function and movement of subsystem caused by BTV generation, design parameters have been found. Based on the results obtained from parameter study of suspension module, the effective design process and developed model with brake corner assembly was suggested for vibration reduction of steering wheel caused by the judder phenomenon.

Driving safety of a vehicle is largely influenced by the damper and the tire. Developed in this research is a fault diagnosis algorithm for the two components so that the driver can be promptly informed when fault occurs in one or both of them. To this end, the damper and the tire were modeled using the neural network from their experimental data, and fault diagnosis was made using frequency responses of the damping force and the dynamic wheel force. The algorithm was tested via experiments, and it demonstrated successful diagnostic performance under various driving conditions.

The dynamic behavior of high speed train is very important because of its safety and passengers' ride comfort. The railway vehicle is composed of many suspension components, such as 1st springs, 1st dampers, 2nd springs and 2nd dampers, that have an influence on the dynamic characteristics of high speed train. Also, the wheel/rail shapes and the track geometry affect the dynamic behavior of high speed train. This paper reviews the dynamic behavior of KHST in the KTX test line. The VAMPIRE program is used for this simulation. The simulation results are within the limits of safety criteria. Thus the KHST can operate safely at 350 km/h in the KTX test line.

Vibration generated by the non-uniform road profile propagates though each tire and the suspension and finally generates structure born noise in the interior of the passenger vehicle. In this paper, the road-booming-noise which has strong correlation with the vibration signals measured at the suspension system was compensated. Active noise control of the road-booming-noise is rather difficult to achieve because of its non-stationary characteristics. CMFX LMS (Constraint Multiple Filtered-X Least Mean Square) algorithm, which can track non-stationary process rather well, is applied. Comprison of the proposed method and the conventional MFX LMS (Multiple Filtered-X Least Mean Square) algorithm is made through the hardware-in-the-loop simulation and the feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated with the experiment.

This paper uses a new method to improve the performance criterion of an active suspension car. The used control strategy is based on robust H$_{\infty}$ control theory taking into consideration the chasis flexibility. It will be shown that the modeling errors can be lumped into an unstructured uncertainty and the robust controller designed in the presence of these perturbations could maintain the stability and performance even for the controlled true system..
