Abstract In the present paper, an efficient numerical algorithm for the kinematic analysis of the multi-loop MacPherson Strut suspension system is formulated. The suspension system is usually used for front as well as axles of current car productions. The spatial two-DOF multi-loop MacPherson Strut suspension mechanism contains all types of basic kinematic joints; revolute, prismatic, and spherical joints. The kinematic analysis is carried out in terms of the rectangular Cartesian coordinates of some defined points in the links and at the joints. The presented formulation in terms of this system of coordinates is simple and involves · only elementary mathematics. A numerical example is presented.

The main objective of the variable damper controlled vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort identified by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling related with the rolling, pitching and heave movements. This imposes a very fast and accurate variable damper to meet as much control objectives, as possible. The method of the proposed damper is to reduce the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by providing control forces to suspension system while travelling on uneven road. Numerical simulations on a full vehicle suspension model are performed in the Matlab Simulink toolboxes to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the proposed system provides better results than the conventional suspension system.
