In a vehicle, shock absorber reduces the effect of travelling over rough ground, without shock absorber the vehicle would have a bouncing ride, as an energy is stored in the spring and then released to the vehicle, possibly exceeding the allow range of suspension movement [1]. Control of excessive suspension movement without shock absorption requires stiffer springs, which would intern gives a harsh ride. Shock absorber allows the use of soft springs while controlling the rate of suspension movement in response to bumps [2]. In this project a new suspension system based on magnetic power which can be used in automobile in future. The suspension system consists of magnets freely moving inside the cylinder with their same poles facing each other. Since the magnetic poles repel each other while moving closer, the up and down spring action is obtained. Keywords: Suspension System, Magnetic Power, Magnetic Poles.

This article proposes an integrated sliding mode control–two-point wheelbase preview strategy for semi-active air suspension system with gas-filled adjustable shock absorber. First of all, a vehicle suspension model with rolling lobe air spring and gas-filled adjustable shock absorber is built, following with a road input model for the front wheel. By describing the detailed structure and working process of the gas-filled adjustable shock absorber, the regulating mechanism between the stepper motor and the designed gas-filled adjustable shock absorber is established. Subsequently, the sliding mode control algorithm is applied to generate the desired damping force with the real-time state of the vehicle. Moreover, to predetermine the road profile for the rear wheel, a two-point wheelbase preview approach is proposed and its superiority is also illustrated as compared with the conventional single-point wheelbase preview approach. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, numerical analysis is conducted with other three comparative schemes, namely, passive suspension system, active suspension system with H infinity control, and sliding mode control–controlled semi-active air suspension system with adjustable shock absorber. Simulation results show that the integrated sliding mode control–two-point wheelbase preview strategy can be successfully utilized in the semi-active air suspension system with stepper motor-driven gas-filled adjustable shock absorber, and the vehicle performance with the proposed system can be greatly improved.

The complexity of much of the mechanical gear used for shock absorption and arresting in aircraft engineering is apt to obscure some of the broad generalizations that may be deduced from the elementary principles of classical mechanics. More particularly does this apply to the distance required to arrest the motion of an aircraft or falling body when the retarding force must not exceed a specified value. This note merely presents some more or less self-evident truths which may be of some value in dealing with new landing and arrester problems.

A low cost shock absorber easy to install and tune was designed to solve the vibration problem produced by the compressor in chemical process. By establishing the mathematical model of the dynamic shock absorption, the shock absorber characteristics were analyzed theoretically. The preliminary experiment was conducted on the testing platform to simulate the factory conditions. The shock absorber was then installed on the compressor for the field validation. Testing results agree well with theory and the shock absorber showed good damping performance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure of nonlinear dampers and the dynamic equations, and nonlinear realization principles and optimize the parameters of nonlinear dampers. Using the finite element method to analyze the seismic performance of the frame structure with shock absorber. Design/methodology/approach The nonlinear shock absorber was installed in a six-storey reinforced concrete frame structure to study its seismic performance. The main structure was designed according to the eight degree seismic fortification intensity, and the time history dynamic analysis was carried out by Abaqus finite element software. EL-Centro, Taft and Wenchuan seismic record were selected to analyze the seismic response of the structure under different magnitudes and different acceleration peaks. Findings Through the principle study and parameter analysis of the nonlinear shock absorber, combined with the finite element simulation results, the shock absorption performance and shock absorption effect of the nonlinear energy sink (NES) nonlinear shock absorber are given as follows: first, the damping of the NES shock absorber is satisfied, and the linear spring stiffness and nonlinear stiffness of the shock absorber are based on the relationship k1=kn×kl2, so that the spring design length is fixed, and the linear stiffness of the shock absorber can be obtained. The nonlinear shock absorber has the characteristics of high rigidity and frequency bandwidth, so that the frequency is infinitely close to the frequency of the main structure, and when the mass of the shock absorber satisfies between 0.056 and 1, a good shock absorption effect can be obtained, and the reinforced concrete with the shock absorber is obtained. The frame structure can effectively reduce the seismic response, increase the natural vibration period of the structure and reduce the damage loss of the structure. Second, the spacer and each additional shock absorber have a small difference in shock absorption effect. After the shock absorber parameters are accurately calculated, the number of installations does not affect the shock absorption effect of the structure. Therefore, the shock absorber is properly constructed and accurately calculated. Parameters can reduce costs. Originality/value New shock absorbers reduce earthquake-induced damage to buildings.

Dumpers are the main components of the suspension system with vertical oscillations role in the absorption of the automobile. The combination of suspension coil with dumper is forming the main body of the suspension system. Shock absorber pipe is mainly used for production of motorcycles, cars (sedan) car shock absorber, is the size of the relatively high precision seamless pipe products, its manufacturing costs and lower selling prices relatively seamless, with excellent cost performance, got the car and motorcycle manufacturing industry recognition, are gradually replacing the use of seamless pipes in the area. The cold work process of pipes drawing consists of reducing the cross-section of a pipe by pulling the pipe through series of conical dies. The metal pipe drawing technology has been widely used to manufacture fine pipes. The influence of the degree of cold drawing on the mechanical properties of the carbon steel material were studied using the tensile test and hardness test experiments in order to replicate the service condition of the pipes used for automotive dumpers. Microstructure analysis were perfomed using optical analysis on a LEICA 5000DMI microscope up to 1000X magnitude and SEM images with a dual beam QUANTA 200 3D FEI SEM scanning electron microscope. The purpose of the work is to observe the main effects of the degree of reduction at different gradations by analysing the microstructure and mechanical proprieties behavior. The study used the stress-strain relationship of the tensile test experiment to study the effect of the degree of cold-drawing deformation on the yield strength and tensile strength properties of the dumpers used in automotive industry. The toughness of the low carbon steel used for the dumper manufacture reduces as the degree of drawing deformation increases. The ductility of the material also reduces with increasing degree of rawing deformation. The yield strength of the material was observed to reduce with increasing degree of cold-drawing, an indication of reduction in the ductility and the tensile strength of the material reduced with increasing degree of cold-drawn deformation. After high degrees of cold deformation by drawing, the hardness proprieties are increasing highlighted by cold-straining.
