Title: Study of the Vibrations of MacPherson Suspension Components
Keywords:

Abstract: The smoothness, ride comfort, safety, and handling of the personal car depend on the suspension design. When the car is in motion, all of its parts are subjected to impact due to the generated vibrations. Natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping, displacement, acceleration, and velocity are parameters of the vibrations. This paper presents the results of accelerations of the components of MacPherson front-independent suspension. For this purpose, a three-dimensional geometric model of a quarter suspension was created using SolidWorks software. The accelerations at different points of the suspension components were determined through Finite Element Analysis (FEА). The experimental study was conducted by using a suspension tester, BEISSBARTH, and through a developed measuring system with LabVIEW and MATLAB software. The experiments were conducted with different tyre pressures. Experimental results and those obtained by FEA were compared for validation.
