Suspension Definition and 123 Threads

Hi Im trying to revise up on half suspension systems and I found this useful link. Their are 4 equations but I was wondering if someone could explain the equations for me (as it just tells you what they are without giving any understanding) especially equation 1...

Hi all, (see the attached images) working on a dynamics project about the suspension system in a bike, we have been given a 4 bar linkage - dynamic system, and I am trying to find the velocity of POINT C and POINT F, but given in terms of the angular velocity of bar AB in the STATIC...

hello all I am in the midst of designing a motorcycle that I will be building. one of the things I would like to do is use a girder style front suspension with unequal length links. I am attempting to design it to have minimal variance in rake and trail, with trail being my chief concern...

halo i've 1 project for my thesis. its about polymer dispersion in the protective application... i've 2 option of material 1. PMMA+ PEG 2. CATALLOID SILICA + PEG u guys thinks which one is better... i need some opinions from u guys... anyway i from malaysia

Question: A mass of 2kg is suspended from a spring with spring constant k = 4N/m and natural length L = 2m. The mass is also subject to an external downwards force F = 2sin(2t) Newtons. Initially the mass is released at a height 50cm above the equilibrium position. Assume the mass is subject to...

In practice, the suspension system of a car consists of a spring under compression combined with a shock absorber which damps the vertical oscillations of the car. Draw sketch graphs, one in each case, to illustrate how the vertical height of the car above the road will vary with time after...

What is the name for the shape that the suspensions on a suspension bridge make? I think it is something like canary?

I was watching a video on youtube which showed how superconductors worked in magnetic levitation, and something struck me, the effect of magnetic levitation and suspension, where the magnet is both attracting and repelling at the same time thus keeping the superconductor at the same distance...

How will I calculate the forces involved in a truss and suspension bridge, my teacher did not explain this fully and I'm confused as hell.

I'm developing a range of carbon fiber cases for guitars, violins and laptops. The cases have a suspension system of high density closed cell foam pads which hold the instrument where it is strongest eg base of the body, where the neck joins the body. It has been suggested that it would be...

Hi The question is In practice the suspension system of cars consists of a spring under compression combined with a shock absorber.which damps the vertical oscillations of the car . Drwa sketch graphs one in each case to illustrate how the vertical height of the car above the road will...

Can anyone help with the formula set ups for this ? A 110 kg box is loaded into the trunk of a car. If the height of the car's bumper decreases by 13 cm, what is the force constant of the rear suspension ?

If you wish to negotiate a curve while traveling at high speed, the largest radius should be followed through the curve in order to minimize the lateral forces acting on the car. However, in practice it doesn't really work this way. I have long noted that the car can actually be more stable...

Lately I have seen a number of spider webs [really, it looks like a single strand] running horizontally from one tree to the next. This morning I saw one over fifteen feet long, nearly perfectly level, and suspended abouty eight feet above the ground. How does a spider span the fifteen feet from...

Hello.. I am attempting to create a "lever arm" to lift things up... Using 1 or 2 Servos. How can I achieve it with Neumatics, Pumps, and/or suspension? Are they better than Gear Trains? The objects are some bottles and things around 2 lbs. Thanks

Wonder if anyone can help? I need to find out the maximum force experienced by a suspension system when it is traveling over a triangular speed bump. I am doing a set of experiments on a suspension test rig and I would like to know the extremes of suspension forces. The inital speed is...

I've been trying to solve the following statics problem dealing with suspension bridges: Let d1=span length from tower to shore, let d2=mid-bridge span length (tower to tower). The main cable makes an angle of 24 degrees below horizontal to the top of the support tower on the d2 side and 30...

Problem- A 110-kg box is loaded into the trunck of a car. If the higher of the car's bumber decreases by 13cm, what is the force constant of its rear suspension? answer- i know the formula is Fx= -k(x) since Fx= 110 x 9.81 (110 x 9.81)/.13 =kN/m i get = 8300.77 but the answer in the...

I want to do some math for 4-link suspension, and I soon realized I don't know crap. Say I take measurements of the lengths of the four connecting rods and one angle measurement. How do I find the values of the other three angles?

I'm looking for some cad design of Paralever Suspension of BMW bikes. Some could help me? TKS :confused:

Can anyone help me? I want to make a light vehicle (4 wheel, steering column not quad-type) capable of going on and off-road. I am confused. Quad bike people are getting excited because apparently they have only just heard of independent suspension, it being the big new 'feature' that is...

Ok, here is the problem: A 1200 kg car carrying four 82 kg people travels over a rough "washboard" dirt road with corrugations 4.0 m apart which causes the car to bounce on its spring suspension. The car bounces with maximum amplitude when its speed is 15 km/h. The car now stops, and the four...

The application is drag racing in a rear wheel drive vehicle. The vehicle weighs approximately 3000lbs. Traction is not an issue as both vehicles grab the ground perfectly. The front and rear is suspended by a shock and spring in each corner. All else is equal unless otherwise stated...
