Abstract

The restraint relationship of the lower control arm of McPherson suspension under extreme conditions is studied. The strength, stiffness and free mode of the control arm are analysed by using the finite element software ANSYS. The structure optimization of the control arm is carried out. The results show that the lightweight reduces by 0.5KG. Finally, the comprehensive effect of the lower control arm using advanced high strength steel is better than that of aluminium alloy.
