Abstract

For some passenger car’s torsion beam suspension appearing fatigue fracture problem, a method of structure optimization is proposed. By changing the hard point location of the torsion beam suspension spring, the vehicle’s coupled model is built. Through carrying out the vehicle dynamic simulation analysis comparing the results of analysis, researching the variation rules of the helical spring vertical load with the spring hard point location, search for the best install position of helical spring. The results show that optimizing the spring’s hard point location, can effectively reduce the helical spring vertical load and improve the fatigue life of torsion beam suspension. It provides reference for the design of torsion beam suspension.
