Lesson learnt and Improvements
• Performed CAE Analysis of Lower-A arm and H-arm in ANSYS Workbench
• For static structural Analysis we have kept mounting member of arms on knuckle as fixed and applied force on mounting
of shock absorber and mounting members of body.
• Here below shown is CAE Analysis and its resulting stress and F.O.S.
• Improvement in CAE Analysis in
Lower arm and H-Arm of suspension
system .
• Improvement in Design geometry
with respect to ground clearance
that has to be achieved when driver
is in vehicle
• Improvement in calculation related
to spring stiffness and avoiding what
we are over designing
