Structural and Vibrational Analysis of Suspension Bracket

Suspension Bracket is used in automobile suspension system. It is subjected to number of load cycles leading to fatigue failure. Static analysis determines the safe stress and deformation for corresponding pay load of the bracket and also to study the behavior of structures under analytical conditions. Present work attempts to analyze life of the suspension bracket. A typical suspension bracket configuration of heavy commercial vehicle is chosen for study. Finite element analysis has been carried out to determine the safe stresses and pay loads.It begins with understanding of the aim, objective, scope of suspension system and their functions. The purpose of present work is static, modal and fatigue analysis to predict the stress, natural frequency and life of suspension bracket. It gives an account of static force analysis and load calculations. CAD model of suspension was done using software CATIA. A brief description about how the design and analysis of suspension bracket will be done is presented.
