Suspension Kinematics and Unsprung Design

Suspension kinematics and design's primary function is to maximize the overall performance of a vehicle as it cruises down the road. Suspension system also helps to absorb bumps in the road and provide a safe and comfortable ride. In the research paper we have analyzed the unsprung suspension design and calculated the dynamics and Kinematic forces on our Baja vehicle. An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or a BAJA vehicle is defined as a motorized off-highway racing car designed to travel on four low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires, having a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering control. Our college tech team Deltechbaja manufactures a Baja car every year for various competitions and events throughout the year. The initiation of building the car starts with the analysis and calculations of the suspension dynamics and unsprung parts of the vehicle through software's like lotus, Ansys and solid works.
