Adaptation of passenger car suspension parameters to Independently rotating wheels

Abstract

The article describes a study whose objective is to adjust the passenger car suspension parameters, adapting them to independently rotating wheels. The study examines the influence of corrections of stiffness and damping of primary and secondary suspension of passenger car on Nadal criterion and the Sperling‘s comfort index values at different passenger car running speed in a straight section and in a 200 m radius curve. Calculations were performed using “Universal mechanism” software. The results are presented in the paper. Conclusions of this study are given.
