Suspensions

The suspension design is crucial in the development of vehicle behavior to optimize vehicle performance, handling and comfort. There are a multitude of possible adjustments depending on the vehicle (comfort, sportiness, etc.). These settings play a important role in passengers safety in all phases of driving (braking, cornering, traction). All quantities presented in this paper […]

To make a car go faster around a track, there are a couple of things we can do that generally will improve lap times. We can, lower weight, increase engine power, increase downforce, reduce drag, increase tire grip. Unfortunately all these changes typically come with downsides, for example: Lower weight – decreased durability, more expensive

The suspension of a car is a device for guiding the wheel kinematically relative to the chassis. It also contributes to other functions such as steering or braking. The main objectives of the suspension are: to support vehicle weight in all driving conditions, to optimize the tire contact with the ground, to maintain the wheel
