Displacement and Force Analysis of Five-Rod Suspension With Flexible Joints

摘要: The paper presents a vector algebraic method for the displacement and force analysis of five-rod wheel suspension mechanism, used as rear in some modern cars. Displacement equations are derived by using solutions tetrahedron obtained closure or constraint spatial multi-loop mechanisms. gives possibility reducing system from original five to two. resultant expressed recursive notation, which is relatively concise form convenient programming, providing very efficient accurate algorithm. offorce torque equilibrium solved an explicit way. Flexible joints with experimentally determined linearized compliance matrices taken into consideration, leading algorithm elastokinematic mechanism. Graphical illustration results also presented.
