Modal Analysis Of Macpherson Strut Suspension System Using Ansys

Abstract

A suspension system is one of the important elements of an automobile which directly influences its safety, comfort, and lifespan. It is used to enhance the efficiency of the vehicle by providing the smooth motion of the vehicle on road. Its function also includes giving
support to the moving and vibrating parts of the braking system and overall vehicle. In the present work, Macpherson strut suspension system is designed using SOLIDWORKS software. In a further study, its modal analysis in ANSYS is performed to detect the range of deformation which is caused due to the vibrations. The Macpherson strut suspension system is preferred over the other suspension due to its overall simplicity of the design, reduced wear due to fewer joints, better handling and steering.
