Estimation for Variation of the Damping Force Induced by the Expansive Movement of Shock Absorber

Abstract:

In this paper, the damping force loci of a twin tube shock absorber were estimated by using the empirical data. The variation of the damping force was investigated for movements of piston such as the expansion. The relationship between the piston velocity and the damping force were estimated by using the empirical data of four different conditions of coil spring turns. Also the relationship between the coil spring turns and the damping force were estimated by using the empirical data of four different piston velocities. Based on the experiment results, the estimated damping force variation functions provide the physical information of the components of the main piston valve system to save the manufacturing time and cost for the shock absorber
