Abstract
Suspension system plays a vital role in Formula SAE’s overall performance as it isolates the vehicle from disturbances and provides a comfortable ride. The motive of this study is concerned with one of the major components of this system; rocker (bellcrank). A solid model of suspension rocker using 3D modeling software Solidworks is prepared and structural analysis is carried out by providing specific boundary conditions. The proposed new optimized model of suspension rocker has less weight and at the same time is competent to perform the function.
