Dynamic analysis of the formula student car suspension systems

U ovom radu analiziran je određeni broj utjecajnih parametara na dinamiku vozila u cilju poboljšanja vozljivosti i upravljivosti bolida Formule Student. Početna razrada parametara prikazana je analitičkim jednadžbama te je dan teorijski uvid u ključne komponente koje utječu na dinamiku vozila. Daljnja i složenija razrada parametara provedena je kroz simulacije u programskom paketu MSC ADAMS/Car te je analiziran utjecaj pneumatika te mase i visine vozača na svojstva vozila. Dobivanjem opterećenja iz simulacija, provedena je topološka analiza komponente upright u programskom paketu Abaqus s ciljem smanjenja mase.This paper analyzes a number of impact parameters on vehicle dynamics in order to improve the agility and maneuverability of Formula Student car. Initial parameter elaboration is presented with analytical equations and a theoretical insight is given into key components that affect the dynamics of the vehicle. Further and more complex parameter elaboration was carried out through simulations in the MSC ADAMS / Car program package and analysis of the tire, weight and height of the driver on the vehicle characteristics. By gaining the load from the simulations, the topological analysis of upright was performed in the Abaqus program package for purpose of mass reduction
