    The document discusses the design and analysis of the suspension system for a Formula 1 type racing car. It describes using a double A-arm suspension system due to its advantages of being lightweight, having low unsprung mass, and allowing adjustability. It then defines and explains key suspension terminology and their effects on vehicle handling, such as sprung mass, unsprung mass, ride height, camber, steering axis inclination, and dynamic load transfer.

    DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF A FORMULA-I TYPE RACING CAR

    Type of suspension used


    We are using double A-arm (unequal arms) type suspension. The reason behind this is1- It is Lightest in weight. 2- lowest unsprung mass. 3- greater adjustability i.e. camber, toe angle can easily change. 4- vertical movement of suspension system results in an increase in negative camber, it helps the outside tire to make proper contact with the road during cornering.

    Sprung weight
    Sprung weight is that part of the vehicles weight which is supported by suspension springs and dampers. it includes mass of chassis, transmission, engine, driver, fuel tank etc.- in other words; most of it.

    Unsprung weight
    Unsprung weight is that part of the vehicles weight which is not supported by suspension springs. It includes mass of tires, wheels, hub, axle, a little bit mass of suspension etc. Lower unsprung weight (inertia of rotating parts will be low) is preferable because less work the shocks and springs have to do to keep the tires in contact with the road over bumpy surfaces and handling will be better.

    Ride height
    Also called ground clearance. It is the distance between vehicles lowest point and road surface. A higher ground clearance means that the center of mass of the car is higher, which makes more dangerous handling characteristics ( the chance of rollover is higher). Higher ride heights will typically adversely affect aerodynamic properties.

    Dynamic load transfer


    Load transfer in dynamic condition of vehicle is basically called dynamic load transfer. 1- longitudinal load transfer * At the time of braking (rear to front) * At the time of acceleration (front to rear) 2- Lateral load transfer * At the time of cornering (inner wheels to outer wheels)

    Always we try to minimize the dynamic load transfer for effective riding.

    Camber
    Angle between the tilted wheel plane and vertical plane is called camber angle. If the top of the tire is tilted out, then it is called positive camber. If the top of the vehicle is tilted in, then it is called negative camber. Tire generate maximum cornering force at a small negative camber, therefore racing cars have negative camber.

    Steering axis inclination


    Also called kingpin inclination. Line joining the upper ball joint and lower ball joint is called steering axis. SAI helps to provide steering returnability. It reduce the steering effort, particularly when the vehicle is stationary. Keep the front wheel in straight ahead position.

    Spindle length
    It is the distance from the steering axis to the wheel centre plane, measured horizontally at axle height.

    Scrub radius
    Also called steering offset. Scrub radius refers to the distance between the line through the steering axis and the centre line of the wheel at the contact point with the road surface. Scrub radius can be zero, positive, or negative. Zero scrub radius means that the line through the steering axis intersects the centerline of the tire at the road surface. Positive scrub radius means that the line intersects the centerline of the tire below the road surface. Negative scrub radius means that the line intersects the centerline of the tire above the road surface
