Back-Calculated Spindle Loads Sensitivity to Suspension Component Loads Availability

In this study, two common types of suspension are used to study back-calculated spindle loads sensitivity to the availability of suspension component loads, under a severe loading proving ground event. The previously back-calculated spindle loads (Targets) are initially used as the inputs to resolve suspension component loads, which are considered as the “perfectly measured data”. With full factorial design of experiments (DOE), the back-calculated spindle loads using the known suspension component loads are then compared with the targets to produce the sensitivity of the spindle loads in comparison with the suspension components.
