Spectral analysis of suspension system of a commercial city bus

There is an ever increasing demand for intelligent and efficient urban vehicle systems that fulfill several requirements, e.g., low cost maintainability and high passenger comfort. Concerning these goals reliable methods are needed to model and to evaluate the imposed performances. In this paper a spectral analysis of the suspension system of a commercial city bus is presented. Based on experimental data taken on a city bus, the vibrations emerging on the wheels and the body are analyzed in the frequency domain. The goal of the analysis is to characterize the main eigenfrequencies of the suspension system and its damping in amplitude and also to evaluate both the road and the suspension system in terms of passenger comfort according to ISO standards. © 2016 IEEE

Parameter Identification of a Fire Truck Suspension for Vibration Analysis

In case of field measurement it is essential to determine the measurement conditions. With accurate parameter identification credible measurement and simulation results can be achieved. In this paper the parameter identification of a CSD-755-10 heavy-duty fire truck suspension for vibration analysis is presented, which is an important base-point for further research
