1 Essential design parameters and system characteristics The twist-beam axle has a specific set of design parameters that can be selected or tuned to achieve the desired handling behavior, ride comfort, and noise isolation. These parameters are marked in Figure 7 and the impact on the targeted properties is listed in Table 5. 2 Understeer contribution The performance of a twist-beam axle depends on how well the conflicting requirements for the overall steering behavior of the axle and the ride and noise refinement can be balanced within the given package constraints.
Twist-Beam Figure 2. Non-driven rear axle with stiff longitudinal control arms and torsional elastic beam, Audi 50, 1974–1978. ) behavior as well as the noise isolation of this suspension. The small number of components requires each of them to serve several functions, unlike the links in a multilink suspension that have dedicated functions and dominating load directions. The torsion beam (1) is the key element that differentiates this axle from all other concepts. All side forces that act on the wheels try to turn the whole body of the axle around a vertical axis.
