Formula SAE suspension is one of the most important components when designing a FSAE car. A spreadsheet was set up to calculate the loads experienced by each part under all possible inputs of both lateral and longitudinal accelerations. The resulting equations were then put into a spreadsheet that relates all suspension components and vehicle parameter to numerous acceleration conditions. The max loading conditions observed were then used for a 'worst-case' analysis of every suspension component.
