Fluid power is the backbone of a motor vehicle chassis system. The design of the fluid power system determines whether the ride quality and maneuverability of the vehicle are acceptable. One of the most difficult problems in chassis design analysis is to resolve the interfacing equations between the mechanical structure and the fluid power system. The complexity of the design analysis becomes even greater if there is any chassis control strategy involved. This paper presents an innovative modeling technique for interfacing the mechanical dynamics of the chassis with the fluid power system. The technique used here is called 'Interfacial Modeling'. In this modeling approach, fluid power components and mechanical structural elements are iconized to incorporate the necessary mathematical models needed to represent the system. These character instilled icons become the building blocks to formulate a chassis system. Implementing these icons with the system integrating algorithms results in an effortless analysis and design task. This paper reveals the interfacial modeling principle and illustrates the benefit of this technique with practical design examples related to vehicle chassis systems.
