ABSTRACT: In a race car
various vehicle dynamics process parameters control the handling of the car
which in turn affects the performance of the car. In regard to this a good
suspension system controls the various vehicle dynamics parameters that affect
the effective handling of the car. The main objective of this project is to
design, Analyze and fabricate an economical yet effective suspension system for
a formula type autocross race car. Care has been taken to keep the weight of
the suspension system minimal and other parameters related to vehicle dynamics
for the design and fabrication to meet the practical yet important outlines
that defines the effective functioning of the system as defined by SAE. Design,
simulation and analysis have been carried out in MSC ADAMS CAR, CATIA and ANSYS
software’s respectively. After fabrication, assembly and installation of the
various components the car was tested on road conditions. The performance was
found to be within the safe and desired limits.
