摘要

Abstract

Following the transition to electrification

the chassis tuning principles used for some traditional internal combustion engine vehicles are no longer applicable. This article provides a systematic review of the current technical approaches to high-performance electric vehicle chassis from three dimensions: structure

materials and control. By comparing the vibration suppression performance of passive

semi-active and active suspension systems under typical operating conditions

and combining this with actual test data from 2023 to 2024

it was found that active suspension significantly outperforms passive systems in suppressing body acceleration

particularly during high-speed cornering and emergency braking. Regarding shock absorber materials

magnetorheological fluid

electrorheological fluid and smart polymers each have their own characteristics – the former offers a wide range of adjustable damping

whilst the latter responds quickly but requires further refinement in terms of stability; the potential and shortcomings of each are quite clear. The shift in material focus is also evident: the proportions of aluminium alloy

high-strength steel and composite materials are constantly being adjusted. Lightweighting has long since moved beyond simply swapping materials

evolving instead towards the coordinated use of multiple materials. In the manufacturing process

the benefits of integrated die-casting in terms of integration and efficiency are plain to see. Combined with drive-by-wire chassis architectures and scenario-aware algorithms

the framework for adaptive control has already been established. Overall

to achieve an excellent chassis

the three elements of structure

materials and control must be deeply integrated; at the same time

interdisciplinary collaboration and standardisation must keep pace.
