A Review of Aeration and Cavitation Phenomena in the Hydraulic Shock Absorber

Abstract:

This paper aims to bring an organized overview of the damper malfunction due to the cavitation and aeration phenomena, which are normal problems for all kinds of hydraulic dampers. The object of this report is to describe, detect and simulate these damper failures.
