Suspension Ride Pitch Roll Model

Instructions to run the model are found in blue text.

To make the model useful and interesting for the user, the model has been created around the Koenigsegg Agera One:1 or Noble M12.

Suspension model - Quarter-Car ride & Half-Car ride/pitch

NOTE, the following simplifications are applied to the model:

1) The sprung mass is assumed to be that acting on one rear wheel

2) A conventional passive damper is assumed

Suspension model - Half-Car in pitch:

Simple instructions to run the model:

1) Unzip all model files to the preferred folder

1) Start Matlab 2016b or later (NOTE: the files were made using 2016b)

2) Point the Matlab active folder to the location of the .slx .m and .mat files

3) Right click on the .m file and select "Run" - this loads the parameters used by the model and runs the simulation

5) Open the .m file to alter parameters that affect the simulation

The damping coefficient approximates the values for a Ferrari road car, as shown below (Front on the left, Rear on the right)
