PILOT EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A MACPHERSON STRUT WHEEL SUSPENSION

摘要

The vibratory force transmissibility of a strut type wheel suspension has been investigated in the laboratory. Measurements were made using an electro hydraulic vibrator and both swept frequency sinusoidal and broad band random excitation. The development of the test rig and the analysis equipment are described briefly. The results indicate the importance of non-linearity in the response of the suspension system and the need for a more satisfactory theoretical analysis.
