Kinematic and dynamic analysis of passive suspension using pneumatic and flexible tire

This study represents a new generation of tires called flexible or non-pneumatic tire. The need for air in the tire has been replaced by the 'spokes' which can bend (deform) and then straighten out again which cause more comfort in the ride. The dynamic modeling of pneumatic and flexible t...

In this article, a quarter car with passive suspension system using pneumatic tire and flexible tire was simulated by MATLAB/SIMULINK and Msc. ADAMS.
