Abstract:

A new type of magnetorheological suspension was designed based on a multi-degree-of-freedom spherical-motor to apply this kind of motor in automobile. The main structure was designed of the magnetorheological suspension with analyzing the static strength of the suspension and magnetic field simulation of the damper using ANSYS software. Obtained a stress nephograph of the suspension and the magnetic induction intensity nephograph of the damper; Established a two-degree-of-freedom dynamic model to simulate ride comfort. The results show that the suspension maximum stress under three working conditions, including the maximum braking force, the maximum vertical force, and the maximum lateral force, does not exceed the material allowable stress of 355 MPa. The vehicle body acceleration is 0.23 m/s2; The tire maximum dynamic load is 2 kN; The suspension maximum dynamic deflection is less than 50 mm. Therefore, the structural design meets both the static strength requirements and the expected suspension ride comfort.
