Design of Upper A Arm of Double Wishbone Suspension System

Every All-Terrain vehicle right now uses independent suspension system which consists of double wishbones connected to all the tires. As All-Terrain vehicles generally operated on different road conditions it is an absolute necessity to have a robust design of wish bones. A good deformation rate and good FOS determines how good a design. In this study we have designed three types of upper wishbones in Solid Works whose suspension geometry based on wheel base, track width, roll center and pith center of the vehicle is validated in LOTUS software and the following graphs of camber, castor, toe, kingpin inclination are obtained. Linear static structural analysis is performed on all the three types designed in Ansys software and total deformation rate, equivalent stresses generated and FOS is calculated and the based on the results the best design is used for the vehicle. The design provided greater suspension travel, reducing the un-sprung mass of the vehicle, maximizing the performance of the suspension system of the vehicle and better handling of vehicle while cornering. The design is used in SAE BAJA 2020 competition Conducted in Chitkara University Punjab.

Oscillation Damping

During the tractor movement, with being attached to the hitch-system working equipment over Rough road surfaces oscillation of the machine take place. These oscillations are a reason of pressure pulsations in the hydraulic hitch-system. The pressure pulse reduction in the tractor Hitch-system is important for increasing of the system components lifetime. Pressure oscillation damping in the tractor hydraulic hitch-system can reduce overall system oscillations and improve the driving control. The design of spring in suspension system is very important. In this project a shock absorber is designed and a 3D model is created using CATIA V5 R20. The model is also changed by changing the thickness of the spring. Structural analysis and modal analysis are done on the suspension system by varying material for spring, Spring Steel and Beryllium Copper. Analysis done in ANSYS 14.5. The analysis is done by considering loads, bike weight, single person and 2 persons. Structural analysis is done to validate the strength and modal analysis is done to determine the displacements for different frequencies for number of modes. Comparison is done for two materials to verify best material for spring in suspension system.

Abstract: Double Wishbone suspension systems are by far the best choice of suspension systems recommended for sports vehicles. It is more stable and stiffer when compared to the other suspension geometries. In this report a brief study of how a double-wishbone suspension system acts under loading conditions when traveling at high speeds is presented, also the forces acting on its components are analysed, and post-processed results are discussed. The geometry of the whole suspension is designed on SolidWorks and analysis is performed on Ansys software. Further the results from the analysis are studied based on material selection and various analysis methods. Finally, the proposed suspension system is concluded safe to use when the values of Equivalent stress, Total Deformation, and Factor of Safety were measured and under threshold limits.

Abstract: The initial dimensions and weight for the vehicle is considered from the Audi A8 vehicle as a reference. The specifications for the motor and battery are considered for the Mahindra e2o electric vehicle of similar dimensions. The main objective of this paper is to model and perform static analysis on the chassis of a four-seater car. The initial design for the chassis was a space frame body which is very rigid and had very less deflection. The second and final chassis is a ladder type chassis which is most common chassis type being used in Nepal and India. The difference in deflection between both the chassis type is very less, which is about 0.3235 mm for a reasonable reduction in weight which is about 120 Kg. The simulation part is carried out in ANSYS software. The result is selection of best suitable material for chassis on the basis of ANSYS and theoretically calculated result.

A numerical procedure for the static analysis of arch-supported tensile structures with block and tackle suspension system is presented. The procedure, based on dynamic relaxation, is suitable for a structural analysis both in the prestressing process and in a final state under external loads. The friction between the pulley and its shaft is also taken into account in the analysis. After the introduction of the developed procedure, two structures are presented as examples. The analysis of a very simple structure validates the procedure, then the analysis of a more complex structure, an arch-supported cable net roof illustrates the stability and efficiency of the procedure.

Von Mises Stresses

The regularities of stress distribution in perforated beams with circular apertures under distributed load and pure bending. Such beams are made of different materials: carbon fiber is used in aircraft for these purposes, and steel is used in construction. Beams with different perforation parameters were considered and an empirical relation was obtained for equivalent von Mises stresses in castellated beams near the apertures’ outlines based on the analysis of FEM calculations. In this paper, beams made of C345 steel were considered. It is established that the maximum values of equivalent stresses near apertures under different loading types vary along the beam length in proportion to the values of the bending moment. The values of stress concentration coefficients for the pure bending are determined depending on the perforation parameters. The acceptability of the obtained empirical dependencies for equivalent stresses was verified using the FEM calculations based on the ANSYS software package. There is a good correlation between the results of FEM calculations and empirical dependence.

In this study, the welding process is modelled and analysed using ANSYS software. The temperature and residual stress produced during the process is depicted. During heating, the material conditions, parts affected by residual stress and the stress–strain state at different time interval is recorded and a subsequent structural analysis is used for the analysis, the same is used in the analysis where thermal and structural results are investigated. Subsequently, with sensitivity analysis the results are evaluated. Non-uniform meshing is used to entrap the result with fine mesh in the heat affected zone and coarse mesh away from it to save processing time. The results from the thermal structural analysis are presented to understand the process deeply and comparison of the graph plot between temperature and time is explained.
