Design of Front Suspension and Steering Mechanisms for All-Terrain Vehicle

The all-terrain vehicle (ATV) has been popular due to its simplicity in controlling, high recreational value, and sports utility, Furthermore, seating comfort and control aptness are affected mainly by the suspension and steering mechanism. Therefore, this research is directed towards the ATV¡¦s front suspension and steering mechanism, bearing in mind a set of systematized design procedures as the design and development basis of the front suspension and steering mechanism. First, we will investigate the papers on the front suspension and steering mechanism in order to make an induction on its characteristics and demand. Then, the theories of kinematic analysis of the front suspension and steering mechanism are established. The aided analyzing computer program we edit using the theories, moreover could be the design basis. And, to carry out the creative design of the front suspension and steering mechanism using the systematized procedure of creative mechanism design. In this investigation, we have successfully constructed atlas of the creative mechanism, and the result supplies the following design to select; Finally, we complete the kinematic design of the front suspension and steering mechanism based on the Genetic algorithm (GA), and we can obtain the better mechanism dimensions than Yamaha 660 ATV.
