INTRODUCTION
• Suspension system is the term given to the system of springs, shock
absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels . It is
basically cushion for passengers protects the luggage or any cargo and
also itself from damage and wear.
• Sir William Brush is the father of suspension system in automobiles.

ROLE OF SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The main role of suspension system are as follows:
• It supports the weight of vehicle .
• Provides smoother ride for the driver and passengers i.e. acts
as cushion.
• Protects your vehicle from damage and wear .
• It also plays a critical role in maintaining self driving
conditions.
• It also keeps the wheels pressed firmly to the ground for
traction .
• It isolates the body from road shocks and vibrations which
would otherwise be transferred to the passengers and load.
PRINCIPLE OF SUSPENSION
Principle :-When a tire hits an obstruction, there is a reaction force. The
size of this reaction force depends on the unsprung mass at each wheel
assembly.
In general, the larger the ratio of sprung weight to unsprung

weight, the less the body and vehicle occupants are affected by bumps,
dips, and other surface imperfections such as small bridges. A large
sprung weight to unsprung weight ratio can also impact vehicle control.
DEFINITIONS OF
SPRUNG &UNSPRUNG MASS
• Sprung mass :-Sprung mass (weight) refers to
vehicle parts supported on the suspension
system, such as the body, frame, engine, the
internal
components, passengers, and cargo.
• Unsprung mass :- Unsprung mass refers to the
components that follow
the road contours, such as wheels, tires,brake
assemblies, and any part of the steering and
suspension not supported by the springs.
WORKING OF SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
No road is perfectly flat i.e. without irregularities. Even a
freshly paved highways have subtle imperfections that can
be interact with vehicle’s wheels. These are the
imperfections that apply forces on wheels.
According to Newton ‘s law of motion all forces
have both magnitude and direction.
A bump in the road causes the wheel to move up and
down perpendicular to the road surface. The magnitude of
course ,depends on whether the wheel is striking a giant
bump or a tiny speck. Thus, either the wheel experiences a
vertical acceleration as it passes over an imperfection.
The below figure shows Horizontal/Vertical Acceleration:
PARTS OF TYPICAL SUSPENSION
The suspension of a car is actually part of the chassis,
which comprises all of the important systems located
beneath the car's body. These system include :
• Frame
• Suspension system
• Steering system
• Tires or Wheels
The basic components of car suspension system
shown by figure :
COMPONENTS OF ANY
SUSPENSION
There are three fundamental components of any suspension system

.
• Springs
• Dampers
• Anti sway bars

SPRINGS
• Coil spring
• Leaf springs
• Air springs
DAMPERS
Three types:-
• Shock Absorbers:-
• Struts:-
• Anti-sway Bars:- Anti-sway
bars (also known as anti-roll
bars) are used along with
shock absorbers or struts to
give a moving automobile
additional stability.
• An anti-sway bar is a metal

rod that spans the entire
axle and effectively joins
each side of the suspension
together.

SUSPENSIONS
ADVANTAGES
• Comfort to passengers
• Good handling
• Shields the vehicle from damage
• Increases life of vehicle
• Keeps the tires pressed firmly to ground

SPECIALISED SUSPENSIONS
FORMULA ONE
• MULTI –LINK
SUSPENSION
MORDERN TECHNOLOGY
• Hydraulic fluid and air suspension
• Electronic and active suspensions

CONCLUSION
• From the whole discussion in suspension system, I observe that
suspension system is like a white blood cell .As white blood cell
provides energy to our body to fight against diseases or viruses
which try to destroy or try to decrease our life ,in the similar way
suspension system provides the energy to a vehicle to protect
itself from damaging, increasing life of the vehicle ,increases the
handing,increases comfort of passengers and many more.
• So, according to me if you remove the suspension system, then
you feel like in bull- cart in Audi , Mercedes types luxurious cars.
The only difference is speed.
• So, the scope of Suspension System is Too Bright.
