Abstract

Kinematic and Compliance (K&C) characteristics are the critical attribution to evaluate suspension performance. ADAMS-Car is a popular tool to simulate for suspension K&C characteristics simulation. Engineering experience has proved that even with all the component ratings as input, it is not guaranteed that the simulation could accord with physical testing, a lot of idealized simplification has their effects, e.g.: Difference on ride height, Friction, Hysteresis, Simplification of tyre mechanism, Assembly tolerance, Problem with small magnitude parameters. This paper will exemplify all this.
