The occupants of motor vehicle would suffer severely as well as its structure would be subjected to excessive fatigue loading if the chassis is provided with direct transmission of the loads carried by rolling wheels of the vehicle. To safeguard the working parts of the motor vehicle against fracture or break down due to continued and severe stresses on the engine and the transmission systems as well as body work the vehicle components or axels should be properly suspended. Moreover if the front and the rear wheel axels are allowed to run in bearings rigidly attached to the frame, extremely uncomfortable rides would be resulted. To avoid the transmission of road effects to the passengers while travelling in vehicles on uneven ground, it is, therefore, necessary that the wheels and the axels should be insulated from the frame. For this purpose, suspension systems are used. A good suspension should have springiness and damping. A spring is liable to overshoot its original position and start bouncing up and down if energy is not absorbed. Springs are mounted on a rubber packing to reduce noise and add more softness. In order to provide a comfortable ride to the passengers and avoid additional stresses in motor car frame, the car should neither bounce or roll or sway the passengers when cornering nor pitch when accelerating. For this purpose the virtual prototype of suspension systems were built in software MSC ADAMS/CAR and suspensions for truck were analyzed keeping in mind the optimization of suspension parameters.

Today’s industry demands the replacement that gives versatile, efficient, comfort and cost effective equipment while at the same time providing more flexibility along with significant savings through increased productivity. Also the interaction happened during the development of an activity include investigation of available methodologies, finding the drawbacks in the existing system, creation of new innovative ideas, checking the feasibility of ideas, gathering of relevant information, application of theoretical knowledge for designing of system, verification using computer oriented technologies, finally implementation of best solution gives us the opportunities to come true is the replacement of suspension system. Four link type suspension systems have been widely applied to vehicles, from the horse-drawn carriage with flexible leaf springs fixed in the four corners, to the modern automobile with complex control algorithms. In this paper, by using ADAMS/Car software, it can be included that how quickly creates assemblies of suspensions and full vehicles by defining vehicle subsystems, such as front and rear suspensions, steering gears, anti-roll bars, and bodies. Based on these subsystems on their corresponding standard ADAMS/Car templates and then analyzed them to understand their performance and behavior and the software enables one to work faster and smarter, letting one 6-12 have more time to study and understand how design changes affect vehicle performance. Also this software explores the performance of one’s design and refine one’s design before building and testing a physical prototype and analyzes design changes much faster and at a lower cost than physical prototype testing would require.

nergy efficiency is one of the essential needs of designing any component. Therefore, both the industry and governments are eagerly searching for new energy efficient solutions, which will both address this rowing supply in industry’s point of view, turn a profit. The internal combustion engines are of a great concern as entire world works on locomotive industry. Hence efficient performance of IC engine is of great concern. Pendulum type combustion engine is a type of combustion engine and is newly innovated concept engine. Currently there are no steps taken in development of pendulum engine and also there is no valve gear train mechanism designed yet. So the concept of valve gear train mechanism for this type of engine comes in mind for research work. As the power of engine increases the size of engine also increases. Hence, the engine becomes bulky. But for a pendulum type combustion engine which is under developing stage in R and D section, the size of cam remains same for existing increased power and also the conventional valve gear train cannot be suitable for this type of engine. In this paper, it introduces the detailed design, development and analysis of valve gear train mechanism for pendulum type engine. The valve gear train mechanism design includes following components: timing mechanism, cam shaft, bearing, cam, follower, pushrod rocker arm, valve stem, valve guide, spring, guide valve. In this paper work, the forces which acts on the system are calculated and also the thermal analysis of valve and structural analysis of follower, camshaft is studied using software and then results shown in tabular form.

This works aims towards the developing strategies in the area of structural optimization and to implement these strategies in design processes. The steering knuckle has been chosen as a study component in this study. The objective of this project study is to reduce the mass of an existing steering knuckle component of a racing car model by applying topology optimization technique. Finite element software HyperWorks which contains several modules is used to achieve this objective. Hypermesh is used to prepare the finite element model while Optistruct is utilized to carry out static analysis and topology optimization. Static analysis is carried out for four load cases namely bumping, braking, steering and in the last load case, these three load cases considered simultaneously for extreme condition analysis. Optimization method used in this study has succeeded in reducing the mass of an existing knuckle component by 12.5%. Furthermore, for weight reduction, Aluminium alloy is compared with forged steel in order to suggest even lighter design proposal.
