ABSTRACT

A suspension system or shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out and dissipate kinetic energy. The shock absorbers function is to absorb or dissipate energy. In a vehicle, it reduces the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improve ride quality, and increase in comfort due to substantially reduced amplitude of disturbances. Almost all suspension systems consist of springs and dampers, which tend to limit the performance of a system due to their physical constraints. Suspension systems, comprising of springs and dampers are usually designed for passenger’s safety and do little to improve passenger comfort. The need for Dampers arises because of the roll and pitches associated with vehicle/bike maneuvering and from the roughness of roads. The purpose of a shock absorber, within any moving object, is to dissolve the kinetic energy evenly while eliminating any decelerating force that may be destructive to the object. Shock absorbers are an important part of automobile and motorcycle suspensions, aircraft landing gear, and the supports for many industrial machines.
