Dynamic Characteristics of Kinetic Suspension Systems for Vehicle Applications

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Suspension systems play a key role in vehicle dynamics and, in addition to providing ride comfort, can prevent or minimise fatal collisions by enhancing vehicle stability. This project aims to advance the theory and design of the kinetic suspension systems (KSS), which break the compromise between ride comfort and vehicle handling inherent in most existing systems. Industry Partner, Kinetic, has invented many novel KSS and currently leads the world in the R&D of KSS technology. The gained ability in reliable analysis and virtual experimentation on the systems prior to prototyping and on-road tests enables the industry to rapidly commercialise the cutting-edge, safety-critical technology, thus bringing great benefits to society.
