Abstract :

In this article, the effort is made to design and analyze an automobile Mac–Pherson Absorber model. Mac–Pherson strut suspension most widely used independent suspension system on vehicle, The Mac– Pherson strut is a further development of double wishbone suspension. With this type of suspension, the shock absorber, strut and spindle are a combined unit, which is supported by the coil spring at the upper end and the lower control arm The telescopic shock absorber also serves as a link to control the position of the wheel. Therefore it saves the upper control arm. The main advantage of the McPherson strut is that all the parts providing the suspension and wheel control can be combined into one assembly. Applying various loads and constrains for the structural analysis of the Mac Pearson Shock Absorber to compare the various results with the actual design & variables affecting during the operation to prevent the fatigue failure of the Independent Suspension Shock Absorber. For doing this various assumptions has been made.
