The most important parameter for hydraulic active suspension system is to sustain desirable vehicle maneuvering stability and ride comfort without increasing power consumption. The performance of hydraulic active suspension system depends on damping force of body damping valve and piston damping valve. Hydraulic actuator design and damping valve parameter selection are essential and basic procedure to design hydraulic system. This paper is on computer simulation with use of mathematical model that was delivered from dynamic characteristic of hydraulic actuator, as know basic damping characteristics of hydraulic active suspension system. The aim of this paper is to select the system parameter that affect mainly hydraulic active suspension, and identify the validity on the system parameter selection.

In this paper, we address vehicle modeling and dynamic analysis of four wheel steering systems (4WS). 4WS is one of the devices used for the improvement of vehicle maneuverability and stability. All research done here is based on a production vehicle from a manufacturer. To study actual system response, a three dimensional, full vehicle model was created. In past research of this type, simple, two dimensional, bicycle vehicle models were typically used. First, we modelled and performed a dynamic analysis on a conventional two wheel steering(2WS) vehicle. The modeling and analysis for this model and subsequent 4WS vehicles were performed using ADAMS(Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) software. After the original vehicle model was verified with actual experiment results, the rear steering mechanism for the 4WS vehicle was modelled and the rear suspension was changed to McPherson-type forming a four wheel independent suspension system. Three different 4WS systems were analyzed. The first system applied a mechanical linkage between the front and rear steering mechanisms. The second and third systems used, simple control logic based on the speed and yaw rate of the vehicle. 4WS vehicle proved dynamic results through double lane change test.

This paper presents the ride comfort analysis of a vehicle based on wavelet transform. Traditionally, the objective evaluation of impact harshness is based on the vibration dose value (VDV) and frequency weighting method. These methods do not consider the damping effect of the suspension system of a vehicle. In this paper, the damping is estimated using wavelet transform based on Morlet mother wavelet and its effect is considered for the subjective evaluation of impact harshness of a car.

A hand-made vehicle with a formula (VF-1) was designed and manufactured with the aim of realizing a lightweight and high-performance vehicle. The driver's body weight and stiffness of the frame were considered. The vehicle was equipped with a one-cylinder Exiv 250 engine with intake manifold potting for realizing weight reduction, high performance, and low cost. The suspension system for the formula was designed through the analyses and tests of vehicle motion and equipment. In a steering system, anti-Ackerman geometry was introduced to increase the transverse force during cornering. A full electric paddle shift system was adopted to decrease the braking distance. For protection against the distortion and warping of the frame, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding technology was used.

다수의 승객을 운송하는 도시철도 전동차는 도시 철도교통시스템의 핵심이다. 따라서 차량의 동적성능이 확보가 차량 안전 확보 및 승객서비스 차원에서 선행되어야 한다. 철도차량의 진동, 승차감과 같은 동적거동은 현가시스템 구조 및 현가요소에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 철도차량의 현가시스템은 윤축과 대차간 1차현가시스템, 대차와 차체간 2차현가시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 운용되고 있는 전동차 현가구조에 따른 전동차의 동적거동에 대하여 분석하고자 한다. 현가구조가 상이한 2종류의 전동차에 대하여 실제 선로에서 동일 주행조건으로 주행시험을 수행하였으며 차량의 진동을 계측하였고 진동과 승차감, 진동감쇠율과 같은 동적거동 특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과, 차체 진동성능은 좌우방향은 B대차가, 상하방향은 A대차가 상대적으로 우수하게 나타났다. 승차감은 전반적으로 A대차가 B대차에 비하여 우수하게 나타났다. 진동감쇠율을 보면, 1차현가시스템은 고무스프링이 적용된 A대차에 비하여 코일스프링이 적용된 B대차의 진동감쇠 성능이 우수하며 2차현가시스템은 코일스프링에 비하여 공기스프링이 적용된 A대차의 진동감쇠 성능이 우수하다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후 철도차량 신차 설계 과정에서 현가구조 설계 및 현가요소 선정 시, 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이라 기대된다.

The opening of high speed railway upgraded our land transportation speed limit, causing lots of changes including living and culture and also paving the way for stepping up the railway technology. However, it is also true that we had a limit to adopt the existing railway system structured for 150km/h to the new structure requiring a higher speed of approximate 300km/h due to technological, based on the time and experience. More importantly, heading toward a step of operating such a high speed railway system, it has been practically and quickly proposed that the railway needs high speed railway engineering, maintenance technology of parts of the vehicles to have a stable maintenance foundation and localization of major parts. Therefore, this study was intended to research the actual displacement characteristics in runningg on an actual track for the purpose of developing the protective and maintenance technology of springs and dampers, which are core parts among suspension elements of a high speed railway vehicle. For this, it was researched the actual vehicle test and its interpretation centered on primary spring, which is used for the suspension system of a bogie, body-body dampers and body-bogie yaw damper. Also, to analyze the displacement characteristics of suspension system in the actual conditions of high speed railway vehicles, a vehicle‘s dynamic characteristics was analyzed and interpreted. At the same time, a tester for measuring the actual displacement of such suspension elements was designed and attached to actual vehicles, to measure the displacements that occur in running it on the Seoul-Busan line, one of major lines serviced by KTX. The displacement data gained from the test with actual vehicles was analyzed for its displacement distribution depending on the service sections and frequency, with which the valuable data necessary for any potential breakdown or maintenance in the future could be obtained.

In the present paper, a numerical algorithm for the kinematic analysis of a MacPherson strut motor-vehicle suspension system is developed. The kinematic analysis is carried out in terms of the rectangular Cartesian coordinates of some defined points in the links and at the joints. The presented formulation in terms of this system of coordinates is simple and involves only elementary mathematics. The resulting constraint equations are mostly either linear or quadratic in the rectangular Cartesian coordinates. The proposed formulation eliminates the need to write redundant constraints and allows to solve a reduced system of equations which leads to better accuracy and a reduction in computing time. The algorithm is applied to solve the initial positions as well as the finite displacement, velocity and acceleration problems for the MacPherson strut motor-vehicle suspension system.

Using a quarter car model, an analytic method for performance estimation of a vehicle suspension system with respect to frequency response, RMS response and performance index is presented. From frequency response function, compromization of response performance to the whole frequency range is verified and from RMS response and performance index, sensitivity of ride md handling characteristics are examined. Using a full car model, sweet area(stable ride area) are determined and performance sensitivity is estimated according to the change of feedback gains. In order to esimate the output sensitivity, response we is displayed using a 3-dimensional contour plot. Design data n suggested for optimal design parameter esimation, which maximize the performance of the given suspension system.

This paper describes development of a new displacement sensor for intelligent suspension system in which the damping force has been controlled by MR fluid. Most of the current vehicle height sensors have been installed at external place of the damper and connected to that by mechanical linkages so far. The developed sensor has a new mechanism which detects movement of the sensor rod same as connecting rod in the suspension damper by using a GMR Sensor and converts it to the relative displacement from an initial position.

The role of bushing elements linked between suspension parts is to enhance ride quality and handling stability by the spring and damping effect from the elastic deformation. In this paper, a theoretical derivation and computer implementation off a bushing element are proposed. Three different vehicle models are generated to test the developed bushing module. The developed bushing module is implemented as a bushing module in the vehicle dynamic analysis program AUTODYN7.
