Abstract:

With increasing fuel prices and dem, and to reduce vehicle weight, automobile manufacturers are looking for lighter suspensions without compromising in strength. This research investigates structural steel material for helical coil suspension using the finite element method by ANSYS software and later subjected to design optimization using response surface optimization considering coil diameter and coil means radius as optimization parameters. Sensitivities of both input parameters are plotted for equivalent stress and deformation. Considerable weight reduction of helical coil suspension is achieved using the response surface method.
