Design and Analysis of Wishbones in Double Wishbone Suspension System: Technical Note
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper details the design and analysis of the wishbones in double wishbone suspension system. Initially Pugh’s matrix approach is used to score the conventional materials and light weight metal matrix composites for the wishbone design. Based on the scores, an Alumina matrix composite has been found as the preferred material. Then, the designed wishbones were analysed using ANSYS finite element analysis software using AISI 1040 and metal matrix composite materials. Based on the FEA results, it has been concluded that the metal matrix composite yielded a better durability and strength than conventional metal.
