High Efficient Viscoelastic Damper for Heavy Trucks

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a new viscoelastic damper design for heavy trucks is presented and a calculation formula of viscous damping force considering the effect of Viscoelastic Fluids (VF) flow rate is carried out. By numerically simulating this equation, curves of the viscoelastic damper performance curve is obtained, and the results show that theoretical calculation result and the test results are well consistent, with the exception at the start point. Theoretical curves are more plumpness in compared with test curves.
