Air Suspension Dimensionless Analysis and Design Procedure

摘要

This article presents the dimensionless mode and the design considerations of a pneumatic suspension with auxiliary reservoir. The dimensionless model provided makes it possible to fully understand the effect of the parameters which define the suspension and to select the spring type correctly. Without this selection, the suspension generates transmissibility cures with excessive amplification in the vicinity of the resonance, even after optimum definition of auxiliary volume and resistance.
