Ackground YE BAR Heory IRE Wheel Interface Hock Absorber Aterials Inite Lement Ethod

This document contains a literature review and analysis of a vehicle suspension system. It discusses eye-bar theory, tire/wheel interfaces, shock absorbers, materials selection and modeling the system using finite element analysis. The document outlines modeling the suspension geometry in CAD software, determining ground and shock absorber forces, applying boundary conditions and contacts, meshing the model, and presenting results from the finite element analysis. The results are then discussed with conclusions.
