Suspension Design and Kinematics Analysis of Suspension Hardpoints for a Formula Student Race Car

Nagavarun Samala | Lakshmi Prasanna Kathroju

Abstract: As an enthusiastic FSAE team, our objective is to design the most effective Suspension system for a Formula student race car. In this paper, we presented in detail the design procedure of the double wishbone pushrod suspension system, mechanical properties of the materials used, analytical calculations, determination of suspension hard points in CATIA V5, graphical analysis are examined for dynamic simulation of suspension system in Lotus Shark. The CAD models of the components in the suspension system are made using SolidWorks? and the Finite element analysis of the components is done using ANSYS? Workbench.

Keywords: Double wishbone, Pushrod, Material selection, Suspension Points in CATIA V5, Dynamic Simulation Analysis of Suspension System in Lotus Shark
