Modelling of amplitude-selective-damping valves

Janusz Gołdasz-2011-06-26

TL;DRAbstract

The so-called amplitude-selective-damping (ASD) valving is a relatively new approach for modifying the output of a hydraulic shock absorber. In the automotive industry ASD valves are known to improve isolation from road inputs. During more aggressive maneuvers the systems maintains the performance of a standard (non-ASD) shock absorber. In the paper, the author derives and analyzes a fairly complete state-space model of an exemplary piston-side ASD valve. The model includes key geometric and performance characteristics of the valve. The results are shown in the form of phase plane plots of force-displacement diagrams, respectively, for a twin-tube shock absorber configuration of choice.
