Testing and Simulation of a Motor Vehicle Suspension

The paper presents experimental results on modelling and simulation of vehicle suspension. Testing the performance practice of suspension dampers is performed using a device called Spider8, which is achieved by a mathematical model to assess the behaviour and performance suspension behaviour experimentally tested through simulation environment under MATLAB/ Simulink. From the experimental data damper, model coefficients are determined suspension. Simulation results are compared with experimental data, after which the developed model is validated.
