Vibroprotective and Energetic Properties of Vehicle Suspension with Pendular Damping in a Single-Mass Oscillating System

The article is devoted to the study of the vibroprotective and energetic properties of vehicle suspension with the pendular damping control in a single-mass oscillating system. The principle of the pendular damping control ensures smooth decrease of damping in the inefficient work areas of shock absorber. A mathematical model of suspension with the pendular damping control in a single-mass oscillating system is developed. A study of vibroprotective properties of the single-mass oscillating system with the pendular damping control is held under harmonic and random road impact. The study revealed that a suspension with the pendular damping control provides higher vibroprotective and energy-saving properties when it is used in a single-mass oscillating system as compared to the classic unregulated suspension. The pendular damping regulator has a rather simple design and requires no additional energy supply.
