ABSTRACT
This projecet addresses the optimisation of suspension
systems which is used in formula 3 race car by considering SAE
rules and regulations.In the earlier project by considerinhg the sae
rules the total suspension became heavy and somewhat rigid.Due to
the consequences the vehichle also became heavy and reduced
drivers comfort.
To avoid these problems we have optimised the
suspension system beyond SAE rules which also satisfies it. We
reduced the weight of the vehichle and made the suspension flexible.
INTRODUCTION
KNUCKLE
In automotive suspension, a steering knuckle is that part which contains the
wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension and steering components
A-ARM
A control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension
link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel.
SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
.
Design considerations for designing a suspension system of a formula car:
• Suspension parameters
• Spring calculations
• Damper calculations
• 2D VSUSP analysis
• 3D lotus analysis
• Design of front and rear knuckles and hubs
• Design of wishbones
