Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Wagonr Mono Tube Shock Absorber

A Shock absorber or suspension system is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. Shock absorber is a critical part of suspension system, connecting the vehicle to its wheels. Shock absorber has a significant influence on handling performance and riding comfort. As per Michel S. Talboat and John starkey[2] who presented mathematical model of a gas charged Mono tube racing damper, The model includes bleed orifice piston leakage, and shim stack flows. The model is validated with experimental tests on an Ohlins WCJ 2216 damper. This study pertains to Mono tube gas charged dampers appropriate to automotive applications. Shock absorber plays an important role not only for comfort of riders of the vehicle but also the performance and life of vehicle. Thus for modification it is necessary to optimize the performance of existing mono tube damper. The model is exercised to show the effect of turning on damper performance.The analysis is done by considering loads vehicle weight and concluded that the model is reliable and Precise able to improve its performance by using MR Fluid.
