Abstract
The work investigates the influence of the deformations in bushings on the dynamic behaviour of the rear axle guidance systems of vehicles, actually continuing a previous study in which the problem was approached from a static point of view. In the comparative analysis, there are considered two models for the joints (bushings) through which the bars of the guidance mechanism are connected to the adjacent parts (chassis and axle, respectively), namely spherical joints, which consider only the rotational movements, and flexible/compliant joints, which consider both linear and angular mobilities. The study, which is developed for the two structural types of guidance mechanisms (depending on their number of degrees of mobility), was conducted using the virtual prototyping package ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) of MSC Software.
