맥퍼슨 서스펜션의 댐퍼 스프링 모듈에 대한 구조해석

Recently automotive company demands supplier to provide goods as a module unit, Automotive company presents some requirements for a modular assembly and supplier delivers modules satisfying those requirements. This trend requires the development of methods to predict the performance of modules in the vehicle environment. The development of assembled analytical models that reflect the interactions between components within a modular assembly is necessary to insure that a module is properly designed. This paper describes the construction of the finite element model to investigate the structural requirements for Damper Spring Module(DSM) as installed in a McPherson strut front suspension. The analytical model is constructed as the 1/4 car. The modeling techniques to construct the components within DSM are presented. Results of the structural analysis under some loading conditions are displayed. Additionally, some aspects to be observed in the assembly model are considered.
