VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND HANDLING
FUNDAMENTALS OF VEHICLE SUSPENSION DESIGN The design and development of vehicle suspensions significantly
Suspension component design continues to move toward mass and cost eªcient designs with high levels of sti¥ness being essential to achieving design requirements. Mass, cost and sti¥ness are expected to become increasingly important with higher fuel economy requirements, alternative energy sources and the move to autonomous vehicles. This course emphasizes the basic tenets of suspension design enabling strategically important product trends. This seminar will be helpful to individuals interested in enrolling in other SAE seminars such as Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (page 16), or Advanced Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (page 6). LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Discuss the basic attributes of suspension design • Evaluate various suspension types, identifying advantages and tradeo¥s • Convey an understanding of vehicle level boundary conditions for suspension geometry • Analyze suspension designs and how they a¥ect vehicle performance • Assess the basics of ground lines and tire envelopes on vehicle design WHO SHOULD ATTEND This seminar is designed for automotive engineers with a need to understand the basics of suspension design as well as suspension integration into the vehicle environment. The course is intended for both OEM and Supplier Engineers working in applications, materials, product design, development, testing, simulation and/or research. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS
influences vehicle handling and ride comfort. Suspension geometry is the foundation of vehicle performance from which high-confidence suspension components and tunings can be developed.
