The design knowledge related to the suspension force analysis task.
Activity: suspension force analysis
Input
Ws: the tire's impact force when fully loaded
Wmax: the max impact force of the tire
Output
Fss: the force of the spring when fully loaded
Fsmax: the max force of the spring
Algorithm
The empirical algorithm of computing Fss and Fsmax by Ws and Wmax (m code)
Linguistic
Concept: tire’s impact force, tire’s max impact force, and so forth. Rationale: the principle of the hydropneumatic spring, the force transmission mechanism of the vehicle, the parameter computing process, and so forth. Solution: minimize the max force of the spring, and so forth.
Virtual
CAD: the structure of hydro-pneumatic spring, the structure of suspension system, the structure of the chassis, and so forth. Animations: the animation demonstration of the principle of the hydro-pneumatic spring.
