본 연구에서는 실측 주행시험 결과데이터를 바탕으로 윤축 진동과 설계변수간의 관계를 규명하고자 2 자유도계 모델을 구성하였다. 특히 2차 현가장치인 공기스프링의 점탄성 특성을 반영하기 위해 니시무라 공기스프링 모델을 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과 내부 압력 감소 및 보조 공기탱크 체적 증가 시 객차 가속도응답이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 안정성을 헤치지 않는 범위 내에서 현가장치의 강성을 조정해 볼 필요가 있음을 알았다.

본 연구에서는 지하철용 전동차의 현가장치를 구성하는 1차 현가장치 및 2차 현가장치의 강성 및 감쇠지수 변화가 전동차의 상하진동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실제 운행 중인 전동차에 대하여 액슬박스, 대차, 객차에서 측정된 진동 데이터를 바탕으로 대차와 차체로 구성된 2자유도계 해석모델을 생성하였고, 실측된 윤축의 진동을 입력신호로 하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 1, 2차 현가장치의 강성 및 감쇠지수의 변화에 따른 응답을 고찰한 결과, 차량의 상하진동에 지배적인 영향을 주는 설계변수는 2차 공기스프링의 강성임을 알았다. 또한 이러한 결과는 ADAMS/RAIL 전산해석을 통해서도 검증할 수 있었다.

A leaf spring suspension has been widely used since it can carry big load and its simplicity. But one major drawback is the poor ride performance because of the friction in the system and the high stiffness coefficient. To overcome these, an air spring suspension can be used. The air spring suspension system can improve the ride of the heavy vehicle significantly and also it can adjust the height to the loading and unloading. The road tests for the truck with the leaf spring suspension and air spring suspension are performed to compare the ride quality of the two systems. To develop the air spring suspension system tailored to the target truck, chassis development procedure using CAE has been applied.

The air spring suspension system can improve the ride of the heavy vehicle significantly and also it can adjust the height to the loading and unloading. A truck with the leaf suspension system is modified with the air suspension system and the performance of the vehicle is compared using the suggested method. The existing leaf suspension can be replaced with the air suspension system to improve the performance.

This paper presents a method for evaluating the performance of a leaf spring suspension and an air spring suspension systems for trucks in terms of ride and handling. Leaf springs, which generally have non-linear progressive force-deflection characteristics, are modeled using beam and contact elements. The leaf spring analysis model shows good correlation with experimental results. Each component of an air spring suspension system, which is a single leaf, air spring, height control valve, compressor and linkages, is modeled appropriately. Non-linear characteristics of air spring are accounted for using the measured data, and pressure and volume relations for height control system is also considered. The wheel rate of the air suspension is taken lower but roll stiffness is taken higher than those of leaf springs to improve ride and handling performance, which is verified through driving simulations.

The air suspension system is widely used in commercial vehicles such as buses or special purpose trucks because it improves ride better than any other types of suspension. Since the durability of vehicle parts is directly related to the safety, the evaluation of the durability at the design stage is necessary. In this research, the fatigue life of the air suspension frame for trucks is predicted by the modal stress recovery(MSR) method. Using the process proposed in this research, the fatigue life of vehicle parts can be predicted efficiently at the design stage.

In this paper, a hydropneumatic modeling and analysis of a heavy truck cabin air suspension system is presented. Cabin air suspension system is a system which improves ride comfort of a heavy truck and it can reduce vibration between truck frame and cabin. The components of the system, air spring, shock absorber, leveling valve and full cabin system are mathematically modelled using AMESim software. Simulation results of components and full cabin system are compared with experimental data of components and test results of a cabin using 6 axis simulation table. It is found that the simulation results are in good agreements with test results, and the hydropneumatic model can be used well to predict dynamic characteric of heavy truck cabin air suspension system.

Numerical simulation has been made on the performance of an oil free air compressor for automotive electronic air suspension system. Calculation results on the flow rate at various air supply pressures were reasonably well compared to the experimental data. With the aid of the computer simulation program, parametric study on the compressor design parameters has also been carried out for the compressor performance improvement: Increase in the discharge port diameter or discharge valve stiffness was found to be effective to increase the flow rate per unit compressor input for the present compressor model.

Air springs are now widely used in bus or truck suspensions due to their advantages over conventional metal spring as coil or leaf springs. Air springs have soft spring rates, which give better ride quality, and additional leveling system provides constant ride height and maintains almost same vertical natural frequencies. A mathematical model of an air spring suspension system with height control system is constructed and dynamic responses of the suspension system are investigated in the light of leveling valve motion characteristic, vertical motion natural frequency. Also, using a full vehicle model, handling characteristics of an air spring suspension is studied and the results are compared with real test results, which shows good agreements.

In this work, performance analysis to improve ride comfort of an ER (electrorheological) fluid damper for a mid-sized passenger vehicle in terms of tire pressure is presented. An ER damper by considering specification for a mid-sized commercial passenger vehicle is proposed and mechanically designed. After manufacturing and assembling the proposed ER damper with design parameters, their performance such as field-dependent damping forces are experimentally measured. A quarter-vehicle ER ECS (Electronic Control Suspension) system consisting of the ER damper, sprung mass, spring, sky-hook controller and tire is constructed to analysis the ride comfort performances. Vertical tire stiffness with different tire pressure is experimentally measured and investigated. In addition, ride comfort analysis such as vertical acceleration root mean square (RMS) of sprung mass is investigated under bump road using quarter-vehicle test equipment.
