Design and Analysis of Automated Truck Cabin Suspension System

The suspension system is used to isolate the chassis from the shock loads due to irregularities of the road surface. This must be handled without impairing the stability, steering or general handling of the vehicle. Suspension system for the cab is placed between the chassis using bolts. The loads coming from the floor and the chassis are taken by the suspension. Constraint equations and couples are used to connect various regions of the suspension system. The loads are applied on the leaf spring of the suspension system. Static analysis is made to study the deflection of the leaf spring. Modal analysis is made to check the natural frequencies. Harmonic analysis is also done to plot various graphs between frequency and amplitude. Results and discussions are made from the results obtained from the Ansys and conclusions are given and scope for future work is also given.
