Solutions in the Vehicle Suspension

Vehicle Suspension Inspection by Stewart Robot

The suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. When a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. The most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic Jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and l...

Interconnected vehicle suspension

This paper introduces a class of passive interconnected suspensions, defined mathematically in terms of their mechanical admittance matrices, with the purpose of providing greater freedom to specify independently bounce, pitch, roll, and warp dynamics than conventional (passive) suspension arrangements. Two alternative realization schemes are described that are capable of implementing this clas...

Road Vehicle Suspension Design, Dynamics, and Control

This paper provides an overview of the latest advances in road vehicle suspension design, dynamics, and control, together with the authors' perspectives, in the context of vehicle ride, handling and stability. The general aspects of road vehicle suspension dynamics and design are discussed, followed by descriptions of road roughness excitations with a particular emphasis on road potholes. Passi...

ATHLETE - An All-Terrain Adaptive Suspension Vehicle

ATHLETE is the All-Terrain, Hex-Limbed, Extra-Terrestrial Explorer, developed as part of the NASA "Technology Maturation Program" which sought to increase the technology readiness of advanced concepts in preparation for the return of humans to the moon in the next decade. ATHLETE has six wheels on limbs that allow it to roll rapidly at low power over moderate terrain, and to walk or climb over ...
