Shock Absorber Mathematical Modeling

The objective of this work is to provide the engineering department with a simple and useful tool to predict the valve pieces to be used in a shock absorber during the design phase, in order to diminish the experimental work to be done during the vehicle ride test and prototype manufacturing. This tool is a group of equations that can predict the force behavior of the shock absorber and the corresponding valves according to the preliminary shock absorber force x velocity curve defined by the vehicle suspension engineers.
