Abstract

The main task of suspension systems, which is an important part of commercial vehicles; to provide a good driving and handling performance, to provide steering control during turning and to respond well to the control forces of the vehicle. For this reason, ensuring the driving safety and comfort of commercial vehicles is related to the harmonious and trouble-free operation of the front arrangement and suspension systems. Ensuring driving safety and comfort in vehicles depends on the front arrangement and suspension systems working in harmony. In this study, a split-tube system was developed as an alternative to the classical X-arm structure connecting the axle (differential) and chassis in suspension systems used in heavy commercial vehicles, and this was verified by finite element analysis. There may be damage to the existing system, and in this case, the part must be completely replaced. In the new multi-arm design, sufficient strength is provided under the same operating conditions, and thanks to its modular structure, it is possible to replace the relevant part in case of breakage.

Ağır Ticari Araç Süspansiyon Sistemleri için Modüler Taşıyıcı Kol Mekanizmasının Tasarımı ve Analizi

Abstract

Ticari araçların önemli bir parçası olan süspansiyon sistemlerini ana görevi; iyi bir sürüş ve yol tutuş performansı sağlamak, dönüş esnasında direksiyon kontrolü sağlamak ve taşıtın kontrol kuvvetlerine iyi yanıt vermektir. Bu nedenle ticari araçların sürüş güvenliğinin ve konforunun sağlanması ön düzen ve süspansiyon sistemlerinin uyumlu ve sorunsuz çalışması ile ilişkilidir. Taşıtlarda sürüş güvenliği ve konforunun sağlanması ön düzen ve süspansiyon sistemlerinin uyum içinde çalışmasına bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada ağır ticari araçlarda kullanılan süspansiyon sistemlerinde aks (diferansiyel) ve şasiyi birbirine bağlayan klasik X kol yapısına alternatif olarak ayrık boru yapılı bir sistem geliştirilmiş ve bunun sonlu elemanlar analizi ile doğrulanması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Mevcutta var olan sistemde kırılma yaşayabilmekte, bu durumda da parçanın tamamen değiştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Yeni çok kollu tasarımda aynı çalışma şartlarında yeterli mukavemet sağlanmış ayrıca parçalı yapısı sayesinde kırılma durumunda ilgili parçanın değiştirilmesine imkan sağlanmıştır.
