FSAE racecar suspension system design process using ADAMS/CAR .

摘要

This document's intended purpose is a guide instructing how to successfully design a suspension system for a prototype racecar, while also conveying clearly and concisely the different variables that affect the suspension system's performance. Charger Motorsports Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) team members will primarily use this guide for upcoming suspension designs, but it may also be used freely by others who may find it useful. The design concept will be of a style suitable for a small open-wheel racecar and should by no means be applied in any other framework, although some aspects of the design process can be translated to other vehicles. The primary contribution of the author is relating the theory of suspension system design to the analysis of the suspension system design in ADAMS/CAR.
