Abstract: A suspension system is a crucial part of the vehicle system which assists in handling the vehicle and safety of the occupants. From leaf spring type suspension to multi-link suspension and modern adaptive suspension systems, different modifications and researches are practiced to enhance dynamic characteristics of suspension optimizing drivability and ride comfort. The presented study focuses on the analysis of double wishbone suspension system. The components used and working of this suspension are also explained as well as the numerical calculation for creation of the spring is presented. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is carried out using Simscale software. The suspension is analyzed through static analysis and results show acceptable values. Keywords: Structural Analysis, Vehicle Suspension System, Double Wishbone Suspension System, Analysis of Suspension System, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), SIMSCALE, Suspension Spring, Suspension Spring Calculation.

The cause of accidents due to suspension failure is fatigue. The goal of this project was to design a bell crank for an FSAE prototype to withstand fatigue loads and reduce the chances of failure during its use. After finding the bellcrank forces, the dimensions of the bellcrank and the associated OEMs (bearings) are calculated and found. This was followed by CAD modelling and structural optimization using Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Finally, finite element analysis was performed and a comparative study was done between the new and old model of bellcrank assembly based on mass, fatigue life and factor of safety and the results were acknowledged.

Springs is defined as an elastic body that can reserve high level of potential energy, have various important role in industries. Helical spring is the most common element that has been used in car suspension system. Spring steel is low carbon alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with very high yield stress related to light vehicle suspension system. In this research paper AISI 9255, (containing 1.5%-1.8% silicon, 0.7%-1.0%manganese and 0.52%-.6% carbon) under the effect of a uniform loading has been studied. .The FE model of the helical spring has been generated in Pro-E Wildfire 5.0 software and imported in ANSYS-10 for finite element analysis, which are most popular CAE tools. Also finite element analysis has been compared with analytical solution for different loads under the same conditions to conclude.

In this paper, electromagnetic dynamic characteristics of suspension system of middle-low speed maglev train are analyzed with finite element analysis (FEA) method based on the high-performance computing platform (HPC). The couple structure between F-type track and suspension magnet is meshed by pretension element. The dynamic characteristics of suspension system are simulated in three-dimensional model with 4 degrees of freedom motions condition. Both the numerical simulations and the actual force tests of suspension system are carried out with the same input. The result shows that the calculation accuracy of finite element analysis is high.
