IRJET - Review of Suspension System for a Race Car

This document reviews suspension systems for race cars. It summarizes 15 previous research papers on race car suspension design. The key findings are that double wishbone suspension systems are best for race cars to maintain optimal wheel contact and handling. Simulation software can be used to optimize suspension geometry and components to reduce weight while ensuring strength. Forces extracted from dynamic simulations can then be applied to components in static analysis to evaluate stress and durability. An optimized suspension design starts with kinematic analysis, applies loads from modeling, and uses results to validate component design.
