absorb vibration and impact forces from the road surface
ensure that the steering wheel can deliver a suitable amount of steering force
ensure that wheel alignment is not disturbed during driving
automatically correct the effects of over steering
The basic function of the suspension is to absorb vibration and impact forces from the road surface.
it is desired to reduce the unsprung mass
it is desired to have more flexibility in design
it is desired to improve type to ground contact characteristics
large changes in load make it necessary to have a large suspension stroke
The vertical size of the suspension can be made more compact
non vertical external forces are supported by the suspension arms
the unsprung mass in lighter
the assembly is slightly more complicated in design
absorb the energy
dissipate the energy
release the energy
increase the energy
Dampers commonly called as shock absorbers used in automobile to dissipating the energy.
