  • Trailing arm suspension assembly
    Patent number: 10029527
    Abstract: A suspension assembly includes an axle member, a first trailing beam assembly and a second trailing beam assembly. The first trailing beam assembly and the second trailing beam assembly each include a first end operably coupled to a vehicle frame and a second end that includes a downwardly opening recess, wherein the recess includes an outer periphery, the axle member is positioned within the recess, and wherein a weld extends about a periphery of the recess, thereby securing the trailing beams to the axle member.
    Type: Grant

  • Crash analysis through estimation of residual strains resulting from metal formation
    Publication number: 20070251327
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for estimating or predicting residual strains resulting from metal formation. The method includes determining parameters indicative of physical and spatial characteristics of elements representing a formed metal part. A maximum plastic strain resulting from the metal forming processes is then estimated, as a function of the physical and spatial characteristics of a first one of the elements and a subset of the elements.
