Numerical Analysis of the Wheel Camber of the Front Axle of a Passenger Car During Cornering

The work attends to the numerical analysis of the wheel forces and the resultant wheel camber of the reference vehicle Alfa Romeo 156 for four distinct suspension variants of front steered wheels, namely, non-parallel arms of different lengths (these are actually used on these vehicles with a nominal wheel camber of -1.1°), parallel arms of different lengths, long parallel arms and short parallel arms. In addition to these models, reference vehicle models with nominal wheel camber of 0° and +1° were built by the authors. The mentioned six models were employed to evaluate the influence of kinematic parameters on the dynamic response of the vehicle. The outputs of the simulations will provide a valuable basis for comparison with real measured data. Experimental data acquisition will be the subject of further research by the authors. If an acceptable correlation of the values is demonstrated, it will be practicable to verify the predictive power of the presented simulations. Accordingly, it will enable to carry out future simulations of vehicle braking with the necessary deceleration values. Attainment of these values would be problematic in the case of a real vehicle experiment.
