Because there is so little difference between the undamped and damped natural
frequency, the undamped is commonly used to characterize the vehicle
suspension.
The lowest acceleration occurs at the natural frequency of 1 Hz. At
higher values of natural frequency (stiffer springs) the acceleration peak
in the range 1-5 Hz increases reflecting greater transmission of road
acceleration inputs.
Effect of acceleration transmit to Sprung Mass Natural Frequency
Good to keeping the suspension soft for ride
isolation where the given vehicle size and
suspension envelope constrain the natural
frequency for most cars to a minimum in the
1 to 1.5 Hz range
For performance car, stiff suspension is required
for better handling but ride is sacrificed with
natural frequency up to 2 -2.5 Hz
Road frequency is taken as input to study the sprung mass natural frequency
Perception of Ride
Perception/sensitivity normally associated with the
level of comfort experienced when traveling in a vehicle
Perceived ride cumulative product of many factors
Tactile vibrations transmitted to the passengers body
through the seat, hands, feet
Acoustic vibrations (noise) : type of noise, level of noise
(correlated with other vehicle vibrations)
Comfort seat design influence by design (fits to the
passenger, temperature, ventilation, interior space, hand
holdsride quality)
Perception of Ride
Some of the variables to judge the ride
vibrations:
Seating position
Influence of hand and foot vibration input
Single versus multiple-frequency input
Multi-direction input
Comfort scaling
Duration of exposure
Sound and visual vibration inputs
Conclusion
The ultimate goal for ride research is to eliminate
all vibrations in a vehicle
Good direction for development effort :
1. Elimination of in vibration will always expose another
lesser annoyance
2. Impossible to eliminate all vibration, somehow
vibrations are the source of road feel considered to be
essential feedback to the driver of a motor vehicle
Problem
Determine the front and rear suspension
ride rate for a 5.0L Mustang given that the
tire rate is 213.94 kg/cm. The front
suspension rate is 25.54 kg/cm and the
rear is 17.86 kg/cm. Also estimate the
natural frequencies of the two suspensions
when the front tire are loaded to 4258 N
and the rear tires are at 3248 N each
