Abstract: “The present work presents an analytical modeling of the vertical dynamics suspension of an off-road vehicle and the methodology of experimental validation of the same. For this, a rapid and low complexity test was developed with the acquisition of data made through a compression load cell. With this methodology, it was possible to optimize the time and reduce the validation costs of the project, since it is not necessary to move the vehicle to a test track.”
