Minimum Bump Steer Approach Method for Design of Double Wishbone Suspension System for an ATV

Abstract

The main objective of the paper is to design and analyze the entire Double Wishbone Suspension (SLA) system By minimum bump steer approach method for an All Terrain Vehicle. There has been tremendous development in the suspension system. The topic is focused on designing the above mentioned suspension systems considering the dynamics of vehicle. The suspension system of an All Terrain Vehicle needs to be durable, light weight, efficient and less expensive. The vehicle must be able to withstand the harsh environment of off-road terrain. The Bump Steer i.e. toe angle change with suspension travel is a very troublesome condition for the driver, especially in ATV. Hence the design consideration in suspension kinematics includes about in the design, hence given a prominent importance in this project.
