ABSTRACT
A VEHICLE INCLUDING STRUCTURE, LEFT AND RIGHT WHEEL AND A LEANING SUSPENSION MECHANISM. THE FRAME DEFINES VEHICLE AXIS WHICH IS ACROSS THE
LENGTH. THE LEANING SUSPENSION MECHANISM INCLUDES CROSS BEAM, LEFT AND RIGHT ENERGY ABSORBING ELEMENTS, LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROL ARMS, AND AT
LEAST ONE ACTUATOR WHICH IS LEANING. THE TRANSVERSE BEAM IS TO THE FRAME AND HINGED ABOUT THE VEHICLE AXIS. THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENERGY ABSORBING
MEMBERS ARE PIVOTALLY COUPLED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE CROSS BEAM. THE ARM WHICH IS LEFT CONTROLLED COUPLED TO THE LEFT WHEEL AND TO
THE FRAME OR STRUCTURE. THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM IS PIVOTALLY COUPLED TO THE RIGHT WHEEL AND TO THE FRAME. THE ACTUATOR WHICH IS LEANING IS
PIVOTALLY CONNECTED IN BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE CROSS BEAM.

INTRODUCTION METHOD OR METHODOLOGY CONCLUSION

WHILE WE DRIVE OUR VEHICLES WE EXPERIENCE
VIBRATIONS, SHOCKS ETC. AND THESE
PROBLEMS EVEN GETS AUGMENTED WHEN WE
DRIVE ON ROADS HAVING UNEVEN PLAINS. ALL-
TERRAIN VEHICLES (ATV) ARE THOSE VEHICLES
WHICH ARE WIDELY USED FOR MOUNTAINEERING,
IN WHICH BOTH THE WHEELS HAVE A SHARED
SUSPENSION .
DRIVING VEHICLES ON FLAT ROADS IS QUITE
EASY BUT WHEN IT COMES TO RAMP ROADS,
DRIVING WITH SINGLE AXLE VEHICLES IS TOUGH.
THERE ARE VEHICLES WHICH USE SPLIT AXLE
BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TILTING
PHENOMENON WHICH CAUSES THE BRUSHING OF
PARTS AGAINST THE ROAD. ALSO, DUE TO
INCLINED ROADS, THE DRIVER TENDS TO BE IN
AN ANGULAR POSITION.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE INSTANCES OF
MOUNTAINEERS IN DISTRESS, UNDER EXTREME
CONDITIONS AND DIFFICULT CLIMATIC
CONDITIONS, ATVS WITH INDIVIDUAL
SUSPENSIONS ARE THE GO TO OPTION FOR
RESCUE WORKERS.
LITERATURE REVIEW
THERE ARE VARIOUS INVENTIONS RELATED TO
THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM, SUCH AS TILTING WHEELS
TO GET LESSER LATERAL SKIDDING OF WHEELS,
AND APPLYING DIFFERENT TYPES OF
SUSPENSION TO FRONT AND REAR AXLES.
VEHICLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM INCLUDING
WHEEL-TILTING MECHANISM. LEANING VEHICLE
WITH TILTING FRONT WHEELS AND SUSPENSION
THEREFOR.
MAINLY WE HAVE USED FOUR
METHODS TO COMPLETE OUR PROJECT WHICH
ARE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM ANY NORMAL
VEHICLE.
1.TILTING MECHANISM
2.UNIVERSAL OR HOOKS JOINT IN AXLE TO
PROVIDE GREATER DEGREES OF FREEDOM
3. EFFORT FULCRUM POINT SYSTEM FOR
ORIENTATION OF SHOCK ABSORBERS
4. CHAIN DRIVE WITH DIFFERENTIAL GEAR
MECHANISM
RESULTS
BETTER HANDLING AND CORNERING
BETTER STABILITY AND STEERING
MORE RIDE COMFORT
BETTER PERFORMANCE
COMPLEX DESIGN
MORE MAINTENANCE COST
MORE WEAR AND TEAR
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION IS A BROAD TERM
FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
THAT ALLOWS EACH WHEEL ON THE SAME AXLE
TO MOVE VERTICALLY (I.E. REACTING TO A BUMP
IN THE ROAD) INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER.
THIS IS CONTRASTED WITH A BEAM AXLE OR
DEDION AXLE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE WHEELS
ARE LINKED MOVEMENT ON ONE SIDE AFFECTS
THE WHEEL ON THE OTHER SIDE. NOTE THAT
"INDEPENDENT" REFERS TO THE MOTION OR
PATH OF MOVEMENT OF THE
WHEELS/SUSPENSION. IT IS COMMON FOR THE
LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE SUSPENSION TO
BE CONNECTED WITH ANTI-ROLL BARS OR
OTHER SUCH MECHANISMS. THE ANTI-ROLL BAR
TIES THE LEFT AND RIGHT SUSPENSION SPRING
RATES TOGETHER BUT DOES NOT TIE THEIR
MOTION TOGETHER.
MOST MODERN VEHICLES HAVE INDEPENDENT
FRONT SUSPENSION (IFS). MANY VEHICLES ALSO
HAVE AN INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION (IRS).
IRS, AS THE NAME IMPLIES, HAS THE REAR
WHEELS INDEPENDENTLY SPRUNG. A FULLY
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION HAS AN
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION ON ALL WHEELS.
SOME EARLY INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS USED
SWING AXLES, BUT MODERN SYSTEMS USE
CHAPMAN OR MACPHERSON STRUTS, TRAILING
ARMS, MULTILINK, OR WISHBONES.
