Need suspension design

[mohit549]

We are new to designing such components. pls help with the designing and softwares required.

No. We do not give out handouts here. Also read the "If you are new here, click here and read this first..." thread at the top of this forum.

It appears that you have done hardly any research on suspension design. I can guarantee you that no one on here will help you if you haven't done any research first. You really need to start reading some books to figure out the basics and all. Some books I recommend are the Carroll Smith Books and Race Car Vehicle Dynamics. From that you should be able to get a general idea where to start, and what kind of characteristics you want. Start out by finding what all variables you have and go from there.

As far as software goes, a CAD program helps, and a suspension geometry/kinematics software like Adams and the like will help.

paint can be a pretty decent substitute if you cant raise the funds for a cad software.

Not a joke. You can do some legitimate kinematic analysis using ms paint.

Who needs computers?

You CAN DO legitimate kinematic analysis with a ruler, a pad and a pencil.

(a calculator and a copy of RCVD will also be helpful)

Carroll Smith's 'Design' book comes with directions on how to do SLA analysis using string and pushpins.

[Spetsnazos]

I have all the answers. Just ask.

thank you.

[mohit549]

thnak you all.

as I am in 3rd year, i do not have much time left to work on it. I better start reading book mentioned above....

We were all in 3rd year at one point.

Make more time. Lots of sleep does not a race car make.

this is a rough sketch...but it might work, this is NOT to scale.

the impact attenuator is also not shown...i can provide sketches of this quality for all parts on the car if you need help designing them at a very competetive price. Most of my work force is below first graders however, so it must be requested between naptimeshttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk177/Geegenflaben/untitled.jpg
