This paper analyzed the structure and principle of a regenerative electromagnetic shock absorber in detail. The innovative shock absorber resembles linear generator in principle and can generate electric power through the relative reciprocating motion between coil assembly and permanent magnet assembly. At the same time, the damping can remove discomfort caused by road roughness. The regenerate...

This paper dis cusses the development of a nonlinear shock absorber model for low-frequency CAE-NVH applications of body-on-frame vehicles. In CAE simulations, the shock absorber is represented by a linear damper model and is found to be inadequate in capturing the dynamics of shock absorbers. In particular, this model neither captures nonlinear behavior of shock absorbers nor distinguishes bet...

The damping characteristic of shock absorber has an important influence on its design and overall performance of vehicle system. Firstly, the structural features and working principle of hydraulic shock absorber are introduced. Then the detail testing scheme of the shock absorber is proposed and the damping characteristics are tested under both sinusoidal and random displacement excitation (HT-...

Protecting armored vehicles from mine explosion can lead to the survival of thousands of people exposed to this risk. Very purpose, shock absorbers such as honeycomb structures can be applied for crashworthiness improvement. In this study, graded honeycomb structure is primarily introduced as a shock absorber, followed by the introduction of its absorbed energy and the force and acceleration ap...

Shock absorber is one of important component in a vehicle suspension system. The shock control spring motion by damping energy from the spring. This paper was focused on the dynamic characteristics of an automotive shock absorber. The design of interchangeable shock absorber test rig was developed and fabricated for the dynamics measurement system. This test rig integrated with the computer sys...

In this article, the radiated noise by a shock-absorber is studied. This particular shock-absorber is used in a heavy-gauge shearing line in order to stop the cut steel sheets. Three steps are followed to evaluate the propagated sound in the surroundings; first of all, the plate vibration response is specified after the impact. Secondly, the edges of the plate are substituted by a set of the mo...

All vehicles use suspension system. The suspension system mainly consists of a mechanical spring and a damper. The damper dissipates the mechanical energy into heat and thus damps down the vehicle oscillations. In a bid to reduce the vehicle emissions, many technologies are being thought to reduce energy losses and also recover energy from the energy losses if any. One such technology is regene...

in this paper the design, implementation, and evaluation of an experimental-scale potato yield monitoring system is presented. the main objective of this research was to develop a method for accurate mapping of potato yield. at the first stage an instantaneous yield monitoring system was mounted on a potato harvesting machine. this system consisted of a weighing tray, two load cells, a shaft rp...

Landing gear is a structure that is mounted under the fuselage and helps the aircraft in takeoffs and landings. The most important duty of landing gear is the control of vibration exerted on the system through the shock absorber which is a common component to all the landing gear. Considering the importance of this issue, the necessity of investigating shock absorber with features such as high ...
