Industry oriented problem as lab assignment
1) In an automotive company, two suspension systems are compared for the application on
a motorcycle. Considering the motorcycle and driver as a lumped mass of 233 kg , compare the behaviour of the mass while excited by a speed bump with an initial
displacement of 0.1m and initial velocity of 0.1ms-1.
The characteristics of the suspension system are given below,
a. When mono shock suspension is applied, the stiffness is 32.37x103 Nm-1 and
damping ratio of 0.23.
b. When Gas filled suspension is applied, the stiffness is 24.16x103 Nm-1 and
damping ratio of 0.17.
Justify your selection of the suspension system for the said condition using behaviour analysis.
