Estimation of maximum damping force and bending stress of suspension components using the AutoDyn7 program

摘要

In this paper, stresses at the suspension components are calculated using the joint reaction forces obtained from computer simulation. The shear force diagram, bending moment diagram, and the stress distribution of the damper strut are also calculated. The AutoDyn7 program is used for the computer simulation, which is a vehicle dynamics program developed in G7 project.
