Abstract

The Suspension System is an essential part of the automobiles. Nowadays several types of automotive Suspension System are used. The better the quality, the more complex the Suspension systems become.Suspension system is the combination of various types of spring which include leaf springs, coil springs, shock absorbers, air springs and torsion bars. These are used in sets of four for each vehicle, or they may be paired off in various combinations and are attached by several different mounting techniques. Therefore, to check the comfort ability of a vehicle we need to find the deflection and stiffness or rate of various types of spring mounted in that car. In this thesis, the deflection and rate of leaf spring of Mazda Jeep are analyzed.This paper deals with the suspension system of road vehicle analyzed. Road vehicles can expend a significant amount of energy in undesirable vertical motions that are induced by road bumps. The objective is to study how much comfortable the occupants when an automobile is in motion on any kind of a road its body and wheels vibrate. It is not complete to emphasize the suspension system without vibration. So, the vibration with two degree of freedom is also calculated.
