Nonlinear Model of the Passenger Car Seat Suspension System
Journal Title: Strojnicky casopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 67, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper deals with the modelling of a passenger car seat suspension system. Currently, vehicle safety and ride comfort are one of the most important factors of vehicle design. This article analyses a mathematical model of the passenger car seat suspension system. Furthermore, experimental measurements of the passenger car seat suspension system are performed. Utilizing the experimental data, model parameters are identified. From the chosen mathematical model a simulation model in constructed in Matlab is designed. In this simulation, the force-velocity and force-displacement characteristics of the passenger car seat suspension system are described. Finally, evaluation of simulated damper characteristics with the characteristics form measured data are performed.

The Assessment of the Residual Stresses Influence on Generation of the Infringement in Shape-Complex Supporting Members
The aim of the paper is to assess the effect of residual stresses on the damage of the slide bearer. To quantify the residual stresses, the drilling method using SINT MTS 3000 drilling machine was chosen. The tensometr...
Identification of Fatigue Constants by Means of 3D Method
The conventional method for evaluation of the fatigue constants uses one set of experimental data from strain-controlled uniaxial fatigue tests. However, these constants do not ensure the compatibility conditions. The...
Stress Analysis of Dental Implant Inserted in the Mandible
The aim of the paper is to obtain the values of dental implant stress analysis. The dental implant was inserted in the part of mandible bone. Stress analysis was carried out using the Finite Elements Method and simplif...
All-Pass Filters in the Systems of Active Vibration Control of Weakly-Damped Systems
The problem of active vibration control of weakly damped mechanical structures is potentially unstable modes of vibrations due to the positive feedback for some vibration modes. The paper will discuss the change of pos...
Do not be Afraid of Small High-Speed Francis Turbines
In the first quarter of the last century hydraulic power plants were equipped with high-speed Francis turbines even in the situation when a contemporary project manager would suggest Kaplan turbine. The reason is simpl...
