Mathematical modelling and experimental validation of mono-tube shock absorber

Abstract

Purpose The work presented in this paper is concerned with mathematical modeling and experimental validation of mono-tube shock absorber. This paper aims to create damper model to predict accurately damping force, and experimental analysis is done by varying the various parameters, such as flow area in bleed(Ab), mass (M) and operating frequency(?). Design/methodology/approach Here, input is given in the form of sinusoidal excitation, and the output is received as a numerical data of the displacement transmissibility. These data are then processed to get the values of transmissibility and magnification factor for various frequency ratios. They are then plotted to have transmissibility and frequency response curves, as it is a generally accepted measure of how well the system is isolated from its surroundings. Findings It is better to have low transmissibility (larger bleed area), for lower suspension velocity, as it will reduce maximum acceleration transmitted to the sprung mass. However, for higher suspension velocity, bleed area should be low (higher transmissibility) to reduce displacement of tyre from road. Originality/value The development of faster vehicles and also the requirements of smoother and more comfortable rides have led to the fitment of dampers on almost on all present day vehicles. Shock absorbers have a significant influence on handling performance and riding comfort. Shock absorber plays an important role not only for comfort of the riders of the vehicle but also in the performance and life of the vehicle. However, no further reduction of vehicle vibration can be expected for using the optimum values of damping coefficient and spring stiffness for the shock absorber. Thus, it is necessary to make modification to improve the functions of shock absorber.

Modelling and Intelligent Control Based Damping System for Smart No-Till Seed Planter's Assembly

“…This has been reported about modelling the dynamical reaction of a semi-mounted seeding implement to surface undulations. By modelling its dynamics, the impact of force and soil undulations on the motion behaviour of the subsoiler has also been investigated [8][9][10]. Additionally, an active control mechanism for residue-free field conditions with minimal tillage seed drilling was thoroughly researched and investigated [11].…”

Influence of magnetic field strength of hybrid magnet on vibration isolation of quarter car model

“…The performance of the electromagnetic actuator in the system for the bumpy road input was better than the conventional suspension system and the maximum percentage reduction in sprung mass acceleration was 62 % [11]. The variation in stiffness of the spring due to the electromagnet was proved experimentally with the use of a rotary actuator [12][13][14][15].…”
