Abstract
Shock Absorbers are a part of everyday life and have many different applications and uses. They are used for bridges, highways, buildings and cars to absorb the impact from the bumps, earthquakes and high winds. Different applications require different types of shocks and different materials. A rubber shock absorber cannot be used on a vehicle while a cylindrical shock absorber cannot be used on a highway. All the situations require a specific shape and type of shocks to be used for the required tasks.
Highlights
There is a wide variety of application uses for shock absorbers and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes
Composite materials are a great way to reduce the weight of the shock absorbers, and increase the strength and lifespan [5]
Most failures happen at the weakest point of the shock which is the welded section where the support ring is attached to the tube that makes up the body of the shock absorber[18]
Summary
There is a wide variety of application uses for shock absorbers and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Because of their purpose and how they work, shock absorbers become an indispensible part of the system that they are used in. The energy that they create can be used to generate power for the particular system that they are used in [4]. The type of material that the shocks are made of affects their lifespan due to the fact that some materials are more durable than other The application that they are used in affects their life span.
