EVALUATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL SUSPENSION DESIGNS IN SPECIALIZED AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORT

In order to identify the reasons for decrease in efficiency of vehicles equipped with traditional suspension designs and promis-ing areas improving their efficiency, an analysis was made results a review studies obtained scientific field under consideration by foreign Russian scientists. The article substantiates relevance increasing suspensions specialized trucks road trains operated difficult changing climatic conditions. main disadvantages that appear during operation are given. consequences such conditions low level infrastructure listed. advantages hydropneumatic suspensions, leaf springs composite materials comparison steel springs, independent structures over dependent ones, semiactive air passive active as well regenerative considered. dependences change time between failures elements spring suspension, estimated durability on speed movement, acceleration sprung mass trailer train when driving bumps, resistance forces hydraulic shock absorber ambient tem-perature presented. natural frequencies damping coefficients oscillations un-sprung masses car increase its part perspective directions timber identified result
