Abstract:-
The double wishbone suspension system is widely used in vehicles due to its superior handling and ride quality. However, optimizing the design of suspension components, such as the upper arm, is still a challenging task. Finite element analysis (FEA) and topology optimization (TO) techniques have been widely used to optimize the design of the upper arm of a double wishbone suspension system. This study presents a comprehensive review of fifteen research papers that focus on the use of FEA and TO techniques for optimizing the design of the upper arm. The results of the reviewed papers demonstrate the effectiveness of FEA and TO techniques in achieving weight reduction while improving the performance and durability of the suspension system. Different optimization algorithms and design constraints were used in the reviewed studies, leading to different optimized designs. This study provides valuable insights into the use of FEA and TO techniques for optimizing the design of the upper arm of a double wishbone suspension system.
