INTEGRATED ALL-WHEEL ASSOCIATED SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE OR THE LIKE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a very lightweight suspension system for a moving body using wheels, such as an automobile, having extremely simple structure and formed of significantly reduced number of parts, by utilizing excellent characteristics of carbon fiber composite material.;SOLUTION: Two leaf springs having unique shapes are used in a suspension for a moving body using wheels, such as an automobile. When the two leaf springs are simultaneously vibrated in association with each other, the leaf springs have different natural frequencies to cancel vibrations each other. The vibrations are quickly damped, thereby constituting an integrated suspension system for controlling all wheels. Carbon fiber composite material is used as a material of the suspension, thereby constituting a lightweight suspension system with extremely simple structure.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
