Automotive Frequency of suspension system of vehicle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the frequency ranges of suspension systems and dampers for different vehicle types, specifically two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and heavy vehicles. Participants emphasize the complexity of measuring these frequencies due to various road conditions that affect performance. They seek approximate frequency values for spring suspensions and dampers, both separately and in combination, while acknowledging the challenges in obtaining precise measurements. One contributor mentions the importance of considering factors like spring rate and shock behavior under heat during tuning. The conversation highlights the need for rough frequency estimates to aid in understanding vehicle suspension dynamics.

What is the frequency Range with which the suspension systems and damper of 2
wheelers, 4 wheelers and heavy vehicles, vibrate? I would like to have the values for each
i.e. frequency of spring suspension and damper separately and also when used in combination.
I have attached a excel sheet for the same.

Vehicle Type Spring suspension (Hz) Damper (Hz) Combined (Hz)

not that simple...spring and shock are acted upon by the track (road surface) now you have numerous variables like pot holes, cracks, rumble strips, tar patches and the like. what is your goal asking this question?
 
Eliminating major variables like potholes...
Considering normal road condition with usual disruptions and dents...I just want a rough and approximate values of each...more precisely i would like to know the frequency ranges...minimum to maximum...
 
i don't know about frequency ..i can measure the spring and give you wire diameter, height.most springs are rated in pound per inch compression..i have a spring rate tester..shocks must be measured on a shock dynometer..one thing about shocks..the rate will change as the shock heats up which is why chassis tuning in racing is so tuff.
 
Thanks Mike...but I need values...
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
