Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of Tire-Vehicle Suspension System Using Matlab®

Authors(3) :-Dr. K.R. Borole, N. P. Sherje, M. P.Nagarkar

The aim of this paper is to introduce the mathematical modeling of a tire-vehicle suspension system for a quarter car model. This paper discusses the 2-DOF system as a quarter car model with base excitation. To study the system, first derive the dynamic equations of the vehicle model. The Laplace transform approach is selected with assumption that the displacement of the base is a half-sine wave. To analyse the responses, a interactive system MATLAB® is used. The simulation results shows that a two degree-of-freedom system with appropriately chosen parameters can be an effective isolator of ground vibrations compared to a single degree-of-freedom system.
