In this paper, the effects of roll center height of McPherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle are first studied, and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual Class A vehicle. ADAMS/Car software was used for the analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center. Next, optimization...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of a newly designed magnetic suspension system with that of two existing suspension methods on pistoning inside the prosthetic socket and to compare satisfaction and perceived problems among transtibial amputees. DESIGN In this prospective study, three lower limb prostheses with three different suspension systems were fabricat...

This study analyzes effects of vibrations on comfort and road holding capability of vehicles as observed in variations of suspension springs, road roughness etc. Also, design of non-linear experimental car suspension system for ride qualities using neural networks is presented. Proposed active suspension system has been found more effective in vibration isolation of car body than linear active ...

In generally, a suspension system needs to be soft to insulate against road disturbances and hard to insulate against load disturbances. It cannot achieve with a traditional passive suspension that only considered to the stiffness and damper. In this study, the paper clarifies some issues related to suspension system with inerter to reduce sprung mass displacement and tire deflection in quarter...
