Recently, the virtual test techniques using computer simulation play an important part in the vehicle development procedures in order to reduce the development time and cost by replacing the physical prototypes of the vehicle components or systems with the virtual prototypes. In this paper, virtual durability test procedures for the vehicle suspension module have been developed. Virtual durability test consists of dynamic simulation computing load history of suspension components, fatigue analysis computing the life of components. A vehicle suspension module for dynamic simulation are developed and validated by comparison with the measured data obtained from the field vehicle test. And on the basis of the validated vehicle suspension model, fatigue analysis has been performed for the virtual durability design of the suspension components.

It is difficult for most of passenger cars to attach various types of suspensions. The modular experimental vehicle, which is designed to exchange suspension systems, has been developed to evaluate the effect of design changes of a suspension upon ride and handling characteristics of a vehicle. In order to enable the assemblage between modules, the experimental vehicle design is based on a space frame construction through finite element analysis. Moreover, module frames and brackets are designed using three-dimensional solid modeler to check the interference between each part of a vehicle. Steady-state and transient road tests were performed. Multibody dynamic model and simplified linear vehicle model are made to compare with the tests. The results of simulations and tests show the performance and validity of this experimental vehicle.

An aluminum suspension corner module is widely used in high class passenger cars to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel economy. According to the change of material and suspension type, the evaluation of the static strength and failure mode of the corner module is important. In this study, static strength and failure mode analysis of aluminium multi-link suspension corner module is presented. Static strength test system is designed and static failure mode tests of the corner module are carried out in longitudinal, lateral, and vertical direction. From the resuls of the tests we found that the failure modes are different compare to those of the steel corner module. The static failure modes and load-displacement curves of this study will be used as a guidance in design of a passenger car aluminium multi-link suspension corner module.

본 연구에서는 자동차 현가장치의 정적설계인자를 계산하기 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 기호계산기법을 사용하여 구속방정식의 자코비언에 대한 편미분을 계산하여 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 유도하였다. 상용프로그램에서는 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 계산하기 위하여 유한차분법 등을 사용하기도 하지만 본 연구에서는 이를 정확하게 고려하기 위하여 기호계산기법을 사용하여 계산하였다. 계산된 구속방정식 자코비언의 변형률 행렬을 사용하기 쉽도록 모듈화해 프로그램을 구성하였다. 계산된 자코비언 행렬을 사용한 결과를 1/4차량 더블위시본 현가장치에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 상용프로그램의 결과와 비교하여 정확성을 검증하였다. 향후 계산된 자세정보로부터 정적설계인자를 자동으로 추출하는 모듈과 함께 이를 이용하여 가상 테스트를 수행할 수 있는 융합 모듈을 추가할 예정이다.

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.

In this paper, a new bushing model for vehicle dynamics analysis using Bouc-Wen hysteretic model is proposed. Bushing components of a vehicle suspension system are tested to capture the nonlinear behavior of rubber bushing elements using the MTS 3-axes rubber test machine. The results of the tests are used to define parameters in Bouc-Wen bushing model, which was employed to represent the hysteretic characteristics of the bushing. Bushing parameters are obtained by using genetic algorithms and sensitivity analysis of parameters are also carried out. ADAMS program was used for the identification process and VisualDOC program was employed to find the optimal parameters. A half-car simulation was carried out to show the usefulness of the developed bushing model.
