The purpose of suspension system in automobiles is to improve the ride comfort and road handling. In this research the ride and handling performance of a specific automobile with passive suspension system is compared to a proposed fuzzy logic semi active suspension system designed for that automobile. The bodysuspension-wheel system is modeled as a two degree of freedom quarter car model. MATLA...

A question of major importance in the auto industry concerns the modeling and improved design of vehicle tires. Tire performance affects the handling performance of the automobile. Many of the variables on which tire performance depends can be calculated from the load and deflection of the spindle in the suspension system for each wheel. The question of tire performance thus becomes a question ...

In this paper the importance of self tuning adaptive PID control scheme for automotive suspension system is explained. The objective of this study is to obtain a mathematical model for the passive and semi-active suspension system for quarter car model. Current automobile suspension system employs springs and damper with fixed coefficient. Vehicle suspension systems are typically rated by their...

Present time the main issue of automobile industry are weight reduction. The automobile industry has looking for any implementation or modification to reduce the weight of the vehicle. The suspension leaf spring is one of the potential items for weight reduction in automobile as it accounts for 10% to 20% of the unsprung weight. The introduction of composite leaf spring made of glass fiber rein...
