현재 전기자동차의 높은 에너지 효율 및 승차감을 모두 만족시키기 위해 경량 서스펜션 개발에 많은 초점이 맞추어 지고 있다. 개발되고 있는 경량 서스펜션중 rubber tube로 만들어진 에어서스펜션이 에너지효율 및 승차감을 만족시킨다고 평가 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 높은 전장비의 특징을 가지는 전기자동차용 에어서스펜션을 개발하였다. 또한 실제 에어서스펜션의 성능 향상 연구를 위해 유연 다물체 동역학 모델(MFBD) 방법을 이용하여 모델링하였고, 에어서스펜션에서 중요한 역할을 하는 rubber tube의 경우는 FE기법을 통해 모델링 하였다. 에어서스펜션의 각 모듈 특성을 고려하여 모듈별 물성실험을 진행 및 물성치를 추정하였다. MFBD모델의 신뢰성 확인을 위해 물성치를 적용시킨 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 실험결과를 비교하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a systematic design method for the suspension system hard points and compliance elements, which have great influence on the handling stability of a vehicle. In this paper, a method to optimize J-turn responses is presented based on the principles of design of experiments, multi-body dynamic analysis and optimum design technique. The design variables associated with the J-turn maneuver are selected through the experimental design sensitivity analysis using the perturbation method. An objective function is defined as an approximate function for the J-turn characteristics using the TSA(Taylor series approximation). The values of the design variables, which make the optimized J-turn characteristics, are obtained using the conjugate gradient method. The result of the J-turn simulation shows that the optimized vehicle has more improved handling stability than the optimized vehicle.

Active suspension system improves ride quality with optimized suspension force, generated by electric, hydrolic or pneumatic power and controlled by micro-processor under various operation condition of train, while Semi-Active susepsion system provides optimized and controlled characteristics of suspensions such as damping coefficient without external energy. The benefits fo Semi-Active suspension are no required power source and to be made compact with lower cost. Train with narrow gauge could be more unstable than one for normal or wide gauge, and it could be more vibrated than others one by external force such as aerodynamic force and track irregularity. So, the reduced ride quality could be improved with appling with Semi-active suspension system. In this report, the Semi-Active suspension system for narrow gauge train shall be proposed and to prepare the Roller Rig test of this train, integration of system, development of control algorithm and confirmation of its performance with simulation tool would be taken.

NVH engineering has become a hot issue due to radical technology changes and development in automotive industry since customers' expectations and needs for their vehicle is taken to a higher level. However, the source identification and quantification of the road noise within a vehicle is still not at the level where it needs to be to meet their expectations due to its' complex transfer path and difficulties in path optimization. The primary focus of this research is on direct force obtaining method at suspension hard points using suspension test rig. Directly obtained forces at suspension to body mounting points are critical and crucial for determining the effects of design changes of the suspension has on road noise performance. Direct force obtaining method has its limitation in sensor installation within an actual vehicle therefore, many has been indirectly calculating forces using full matrix inversion method or dynamic stiffness method. In this study, to circumvent this limitation, a suspension rig is used. Then, the suspension rig is verified through a comparative analysis of its dynamic behavior between the actual vehicle by cleat test on chassis dynamometer.

The road simulator system can simulate the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical movement changed by road conditions and vehicle dynamic characteristics while driving. This system provides the durability evaluation of vehicle suspensions. The system consists of hydraulic actuators, link mechanism, and servo controller. The hydraulic actuators are specially manufactured using low friction seals to endure high speed movement. The link mechanism is designed in order to minimize the dynamic effect during motion and remove the interference between 3axes actuators. The servo controller is composed of sensors, sensor amplifiers - displacement transducers and load cells, and an industrial PC with DSP board which calculates the control algorithm to control hydraulic actuators. The test results are included to evaluate the performance of this simulator comparing vehicle driving test.

Electromagnetic suspension, the suspension system used for Maglev trains, is now being applied to urban and inter-city transportation systems, offering environmental benefits. This suspension system is actively controlled to stabilize the suspended vehicle as it runs over an elevated guideway, which, for various reasons, may have deviations in its height. For this reason, frequency responses of the suspension to height deviations must be predicted in the system design cycle. The equations of motion of the electromagnetic suspension employing the 5 state feedback control law are derived for frequency analysis. The results of this paper could be used to determine design requirements for the urban Maglev transportation system currently under development in Korea.

Railway vehicles are capable of indicating several types of instability. This phenomenon, which is called hunting motion, is a self excited lateral oscillation that is caused by the running velocity of the vehicle and wheel frail interactive forces. The interactive forces act to change effectively the damping characteristics of railway vehicle systems. This paper will show the impact of instability on the transfer function behavior using damping characteristics of secondary suspension. The vehicle dynamics are modeled using a 17 degree of freedom considering linear wheel/rail contact. The paper deals with certain condition of the damper characteristics that one is about various damping coefficient and another is equipped damper direction.

A graphic user interface program for the design of vehicle suspension system is developed in this work. Graphic templates are designed by using a graphic language and a library and given to users for interactive data input. Several suspension types are graphically given, and the information of hard points can be directly provided on the graphic templates by users. The information is saved in a data structure which can be efficiently accessed, and transformed into another data format. The data transformation is for the interface to an analyzer by which suspension design characteristics can be calculated.

Air springs are prevalently used as suspension in train. However, air springs are seldom used in automobiles where they improve stability and comfort by enhancing the impact-relief, breaking, and cornering performance. Thus, this study proposed a new method to analyze air springs and obtained some reliable design parameter which can be utilized in vehicle suspension system in contrast to conventional method. Among air spring types of suspension, this study focused on sleeve type of air spring as an analysis model since it has potential for ameliorating the quality of automobiles, specifically in its stability and comfort improvement by decreasing the shock through rubber sleeve. As a methodology, this study used MARC, as a nonlinear finite element analysis program, in order to find out maximum stress and maximum strain depending on reinforcement cord's angle variation in sleeves. The properties were found through uniaxial tension and pure shear test, and they were developed using Ogden Foam which is an input program of MARC. As a result, the internal maximum stresses and deformation according to the changes of cord angle are obtained. Also, the results showed that the Young's modulus becomes smaller, then maximum stresses decrease. It is believed that these studies can be contributed in automobile suspension system.
