FSAE suspension development in virtual environment 2018-36-0231
Through Adams/Car software, it was developed a complete template of a double
wishbone suspension with a single shock absorber per axle for a formula SAE
prototype. With this template it is intended to perform a series of simulations
to test its kinematics and dynamics in the situations which the vehicle will be
submitted at the competition, then the shock absorber’s parameters,
double wishbone geometries, camber, caster, toe and kingpin inclination can be
improved, validating the system viability and getting a higher performance.
