The design scheme of a new type strut was put forward, whose stiffness characteristics can undertake linkage control. The structure and basic principle of this new suspension component were introduced. According to fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, a mathematical model for the stroke dependent stiffness characteristics of the strut was established, and the stiffness characteristics were analyzed by using software SIMULINK. Then the stiffness performance bench test of the strut specimen was carried out for verification. Results show that the test results agree well with the simulation results. It is verified that the established mathematical model is correct and the stiffness of this strut shows nonlinear changes vary with the displacement of piston. When the suspension is largely impacted, the stiffness of this strut increases quickly which could restrain the wheel bouncing, body roll and vertical vibration. |
