Abstract

The aim of this study is to model the influence of the bleed orifice area of a high-performance damper on the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle. For this purpose, a mathematical model of a monotube hi...

Highlights

  • When a vehicle moves over road irregularities, the appearing oscillations on sprung and unsprung masses affect negatively the driving and safety dynamics

  • Automobile manufacturers have been working during years in the set of elements that conforms the suspension; one of these components is the presence of shock absorber and its influence on suspension system

  • One of the major advances in the automotive area has been the ability to evaluate the performance of the vehicle dynamics while driving; despite technological advances, the inclusion of a suspension system within the vehicle evaluation systems is one aspect that is still in development nowadays, obtaining good results in some cases.[1,2,3]

Summary

Introduction

When a vehicle moves over road irregularities, the appearing oscillations on sprung and unsprung masses affect negatively the driving and safety dynamics. Several researches have modelled the damper behaviour under different conditions; changes in the configuration of the damper and its effect on the vehicle is an issue that remains unknown. Advances in Mechanical Engineering for each configuration and the effects of setup changes on vehicle’s behaviour. The influence of bleed valve changes on a quartercar simulation is modelled. This research proposes an analytical model considering the influence of the bleed valve changes in the damping force of a monotube damper. The influence of the bleed valve changes on a quarter-car simulation is studied
