Finite element analysis of suspensions

Abstract

European literature most often refers to a set of parts consisting of a complete wheel, suspension and suspension under a chassis as a separate vehicle system. Nowadays, there is almost no land-based vehicle with no type of chassis, whether it be a car, a bus, a truck, a train or even a tank. One of the most spectacular, high-performance computing methods of the last decades is the so-called "technology". finite element method. The automotive industry is one of the largest users of mechanical engineering. Manufacturers can test and simulate either the rigidity of the mower, the efficiency of the cooling system, the flow of the intake and exhaust gases, the loads awakened in the engine, the chassis, and the magnitude of the stresses. These simulations are now so accurate that the testing process that has lasted for years has been greatly reduced. The right front axle of a lower mid-range car was modeled and the forces, deformations, tensions and accelerations resulting from potholes were tested.
