Week 11: Finalizing our design

We decided to use the dampening system as an actual link to shorten the vertical length of the suspension. A CAD model is currently being worked on and will hopefully be finished by next week. We also plan on continuing our FEA analysis with ANSYS within the next couple of weeks.

Week 2: Lightning Talk

We set up an appointment with Dr. Viswanathan to discuss the analysis of our linkage design. We also gave a lightning talk to the Spartan Superway sub-teams about our progress. A link to the presentation is shown below.

Week 12: Revising design on SolidWorks

Image
This week the team worked on developing our new concept to be incorporated into the half-scale suspension on SolidWorks. Our concept is to have the dampening system link not on the bottom like we originally had (Figure 1) but used as the center link to shorten the overall vertical length of the suspension (Figure 2).  Figure 1. Orginal Suspension Design with vertical dampening system at the bottom of the pivoting links Figure 2. This is our first iteration of our new concept design After creating this CAD Model we got to see what are the limitations of our concept design based on the dimensions of our components and the overall form of the parts. We realized after measuring within Solidworks that we need improvement on getting a greater range of pitch angle because we are currently getting 19 degrees in incline and 24 degrees in decline. Also, further development of a modular design needs to be implemented in our design so that we can manufacture with easy and hav...
