Abstract :
The contact strength of suspension restricts steering and driving of the vehicle. Based on the modern times contact dynamics theory and the finite element method, the double wishbone independent suspension contact model is created for a mini-car by using 3D sculpt software Pro/e, gridding compartmentalize software HyperMesh and finite element software ANSYS in this paper. The results agree with that of road test, which indicates that the FEM model reflects the intensity characteristic of original structural.
