Comparison of different types of Suspension Configurations using SIMULINK.

AIM:

To study different Suspension Configurations and observe their behavior.

SOFTWARE:

SIMULINK(MATLAB).

THESIS:

Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, which are at odds with each other. Suspension systems are of mainly two kinds which are

1.Coil-overs

2. Leaf springs.

In this experiment we wont be considering leaf spring suspension system. instead we will be observing the different configurations of Coil-over and Damper system. The configurations we will be considering are listed below.

1. Shock Absorber.

2. Non-linear Spring and Damper System.

3. Variable Spring and Damper system.
