| Abstract: | Shock absorbers vary widely in their detail design if not in their external appearance. Since any shock absorber is essentially a means of absorbing (and dissipating) the energy of the oscillating spring so as to return it to its static position as quickly as possible, alternatives to the hydraulic type may be conceived. For the last decade or so, the high-end technical emphasis has been on developing shock absorbers in which the damper rate can be varied according to the road conditions, to avoid the compromise in which damping which is soft enough to feel comfortable on rough road can create a nauseous 'floating' sensation on near-smooth but slightly undulating surfaces. Most designs have concentrated on computer-controlling the opening and closing of valves which bring additional damper orifices into operation; thus, the firmest rate exists with all valves closed. |
