Truck Air Suspension Kits

Contributions: Modeling (SolidWorks), structural analysis (Abaqus, Fusion 360 FEA), manufacturing documentation

​

We worked with Logiq Air Suspension Solutions in the development of the ReadyAir product line. ReadyAir specializes in supplementary air bag kits offering industry-leading performance. Applications included most mid and full-size trucks.

​​

ReadyAir kits optimize suspension kinematics to maximize travel and ride quality. Development included the following:

• Integrating OEM chassis models with mesh scans to evaluate suspension articulation

• Kinematic analysis to determine suspension constraints and travel requirements

• Complex sheet metal and machined component modeling (SolidWorks)

​​

Mounting brackets required intensive structural analysis to determine material and safety requirements which included:

• Understanding of material properties, load cases, constraints, and boundary conditions​

• Setting up FEA studies (Abaqus, Fusion 360)

• Analyzing FEA results to make decisions on material selection, design architecture, and safety factors

• Deflection testing to validate FEA models

• Identifying failure modes and mitigation using dFMEA and pFMEA​
